Bedtime Already?

This is what it usually looks like outside our house at 10:30 pm...dark.

This is what it looked like tonight at that same time...unusually light.

It feels weird to me when it's actually lighter outside than it is in my house. When you can see the detail of barren branches in the neighbors yards.

If you look closely, you should be able to pick out the deer tracks leading away from my house. Can you see them?

Present Exchange

Here is a short clip of almost everyone in attendance at our intimate Christmas family get-together. Good times, but I was so sweeted out by the end of the night. Hmmm.

This is Cool Kid Sis Catie, modeling her new Christmas present from Dave, myself, and the kids.

This is almost as angelic as it gets, folks. This face just may get her on Santa's good list.

I'm going to title this photo, "Big Man, Little Man".



After we left the party, Teag was zonked before we made it out of Stansbury. Thank heaven for small miracles. We didn't have to drive all the way home with a screaming toddler in the back seat. Yee Haw!

According to Morgan

I think I will start a series called, "According to Morgan". Where I will attempt to caption her photos. This is Dave's graduation according to Morgan. The reason her pictures are blurry is because "someone" touched the lens. The pics are still really fun and have a surreal feel to them.

Graduated!

He did it! Was there ever any doubt? We spent the afternoon up at the Dee Events Center on the 18th watching Dave walk down the aisle with "diploma" in hand. Woohoo! We're so proud of him. He put in a lot of hours and work to finally graduate. We also want to say thanks to everyone who came up to support him. His real diploma should get here in 2-3 months, according to the little note left in his diploma book/cover thing. Ha ha. Morgan brought her camera too and took 100 pictures of darkness. Actually, she did get some decent pictures of Teagan. I'll have to post some of those later.

Sandon's Blessing

It's finally done, I know we waited long enough. Sandon was blessed by his daddy. Dave was in charge of taking the pictures and we got three from the whole morning. I took this picture after we had gotten home from the church. I needed at least one picture of him in his little outfit.

Christmas Time is Here

Dave let Morgan and I put up the tree a little early this year. We got to do it the day after Thanksgiving instead of the first Sunday in December, Woohoo! So the following Sunday I made the girls stand in front of the tree in their Sunday dresses and pose for a picture. They were good girls and humored me.

Everyone should come over and see the tree. There are home-made ornaments all over it and I love it! The tree is a little more casual than it has been in the last five years. (Thanks Mom!)
