Christmas at Our House

Well, Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a great holiday!! Here are some pictures of Christmas morning at our house. I'd post more pictures from Christmas Day and Christmas Eve but we took like 150 pictures. And I don't know how either! Haha!

This is Amberlynn's "dino" shirt. She wanted it about 4 months ago but Mom had said no. Then she found out it was like $2 and bought it without her knowing. I personally think it's ugly, but she loves it. Haha!

This is Aislinn and her doll. I don't know that she has a name so I'll name it Maggie. (?) Haha! But yeah, she's been collecting them for about....oh.....72 years.

Mom and her oven mitts. She's needed new ones for a long time and I bought them for her this year.

Ugh....Dad and his Colts blanket. We all got blankets this year. Mom got a Pirates one, Amber's was blue and white for NC Tar Heels, Aislinn's was brightly colored, and mine was blue and black for Panthers. But the Colts? Come on, now!!!

Okay, sorry, but I just realized this was from Christmas Eve. Oh well, who cares. The gift was from my parent's anyway. It's the new Lori Wick book. She's my all time favorite author.

Amberlynn's Choral Concert

December 19th was Mohawk's Jr/Sr High Christmas Choral Concert. They were amazing! It's not just because my baby sister was in it, either. Haha!

For anyone who cares, Amber is an alto.

I was so proud of her!!!!

My cousin, Jenna, was also in the concert in the Jr high group.

Zach sang "Believe" by Josh Groban. *sigh*

They did 3 college level songs and it was amazing. They started the concert out with both groups singing "Children Go Where I Send Thee". During that song, they all went to their spots for their next song "Carol of the Bells". Oh my gosh, was that amazing! It was a great concert. I hope the spring concert is as fantastic!

Snow!!!!!

This isn't the first snow of the year, but it's the first one that's been more than an inch. Aislinn and I took the dogs outside for some fun.

This is my picture of the tree. I was very proud of it. I didn't find out until just now that I should have used a specific camera setting, but it's cool. I still like it.

Buddy and Shadow...gosh did they have fun!

Priceless picture!!!

Awkward!

Mom's Birthday Party

Though her birthday was December 1st, we celebrated it at Faye & Papa's on Sunday.

This picture is hilarious...I'll post a video to show you all what she was laughing at.

Snake eyes! Part of the Monopoly game.

She'll probably kill me for posting this. Haha!

Okay, so hopefully she won't find out about this being all over the internet.

Very nice!

Grace & Aislinn

I don't know why, but I'm very proud of this picture I took of Amber. Idk...it's just cool to me.

These were just pretty flowers.

Thanksgiving

These are just a few pictures from Thanksgiving.

The intense game of Monopoly. I, of course, was the first to lose.

Harvest Party 2007

Our church, New Bedford Community Church, decided to have a harvest party. We hosted it in the trailer park down the street. We had a FANTASTIC turnout! It was tons of fun. We had hot dogs, donuts, cookies and more. We had tons of kids who had so much fun! The parents did, too! There was tons of energy and it was just a blast! Here are just a few of the *cough*75*cough* pictures we took.

Hanging out and eating hot dogs...it was so cold!!!

The most amazing game ever...PUMPKIN BOWLING!!!

Amber, Me, and Mr. Levine. (*note* I'm gonna marry that kid!)

Decorate your own cookie...talk about a sugar rush!
