This is Brooklyn's Preschool class. I taught last week and we learned about the letter P. So for one of the days we learned all about pictures and photography and poses. We had way too much fun using Maddie's new V-Tech camera and this was the result.

Andy and all the guys at work decided to grow out beards for the holiday season. When the deadline came to shave the beards they all decided to shave them in different funny ways. They decided Andy should shave it like Wolverine. He said he got lots of compliments at work, but i thought he just looked freaky. I think only Hugh Jackman can pull that one off.
My girls were way too spoiled this year. They got presents from everyone, they were in heaven this Christmas.
Maddie's Camera
Uncle Duffy and Nana surprised Brooklyn with a huge mechanical Dinosaur, my little tom boy was thrilled.
Seeing that Andy got the jacket i wanted. I have the best husband ever, he really spoiled me this year.
OK, there is a story behind this present. Andy and I made a bet that if he can get a six pack he can buy this bow that he wants. So my sister Mandy drew Andy's name for Christmas and so she decided to help Andy out and bought him a six pack. Cute, but it doesn't count! Maybe he can wear it while he works out to motivate himself.
Christmas Eve is a big party at my house. We have neighbors over, friends, family from all around, missionaries, and whoever else wants to drop in last minute. We make about 14 lbs of shrimp with homemade clam chowder, and other seafood. Then everyone else brings a dish to share. It is a feast and believe it or not it is all gone by the end of the night. We then have a big program where we act out the nativity, which is normally very sacrilegious considering my brother played Mary and a girl played Joseph and the costumes are random things from my mom's Halloween box. Then we play a game and me and my sisters and some friends sing "Mary's Lullaby." Then we just sing Christmas songs and hang out. It is a fun night.
Christmas Pajamas
Going to sleep happily to wait for Santa with their cousins. It was fun year for my family. This was the first Christmas in 7 years that we were all together on Christmas Eve, well except for my two brothers on missions.
My niece's Birthday is on Christmas Eve, so my sister tries extra hard to make it a completely separate theme from Christmas, so she went with the princess theme. Everyone was asked to dress up and I mean everyone, even the adults were in full princess and prince attire. We also happen to have a friend who looks exactly like snow white and happened to have a snow white costume. So we introduced her as snow white and to those little girls she really was snow white. She got all decked out for them, it was like we hired a real princess. She was awesome. She is actually my brother's girl friend.
We obviously found our dresses from thrifts stores except for my mom and snow white of course since they are the only ones who look good in this picture. 
I couldn't even zip mine up in the back because the zipper was broke, but we had a blast.
She even read to them like she was really snow white and this was her story, it was great. This was every little girl's dream party.
My brother Duffy was her prince, of course. Aren't they a cute couple.
Andy's mom sent us these and our girls loved them. They looked like princess dresses to them, they would wear these all day everyday if we let them.
Andy was making them laugh in these pictures so there smiles are so real. They looked so cute I had to put a few of them on here.
Andy and I bought Shaun T's Insanity and the girls watched it with us when we first got it and have not stopped wanting to watch it since. They love watching the video and working out with it. Brooklyn insists on wearing this every time she works out.
The head bands are also a must which i think is a known fact.
