Lisa - Maternity Portraits

Pregnancy is such a beautiful time in a mother's life! It's such a joy to feel the baby move and kick, and all the wonders of what the baby will look like. Lisa & Jason decided to capture this treasured time with beautiful portraits from Wild Iris Studio:

Our Christmas

I'm finally posting our family christmas pictures. On Christmas Eve, Santa made a special visit to Randy's House to deliver the kids a special gift.

Kaylee

Brady

Billy

Dani was not willing to sit on Santa's lap. She was unsure of him. However, after she saw him give gifts to the other kids, she got just close enough to grab her present, then she turned and ran.

Dani loved Kaylee's new Amercian Girl Twin. The dolls are pretty cool, you send them a photo of your child and they make a "twin". Maybe someday Dani will get one.

Christmas Morning

We started early on Christmas morning because Justin had to work. Billy was still half asleep after we woke him up to open presents:

Billy's new Super Mack Truck from Santa. During December, every time someone asked what he wanted for Christmas, he told them that Santa was bringing him a super mack truck. Then, if they pressed for more ideas, he said that's all he wanted. Billy asked me one day why people kept asking, and I tried to explain that he would get presents from his grandparents and relatives. But, Billy informed me that you only get presents from Santa and that's it. So, he had convinced himself that was all he would get. He was very happy on Christmas to discover he had lots of presents! He told me that night that he got everything he wanted for Christmas!

Santa gave Billy a cool coke in his stocking.

Dani got Billy a Wall-E movie.

Billy got Dani a Horse in a purse.

Billy showed Dani her new horse.

Dani's new chair from Santa.

Dani loved her new bouncing Tigger. She laughed each time he'd start bouncing.

After we were done opening presents at home, we headed to NeeNee's house to open more presents. Jennie got a new digital camera for Christmas.

After all that hard work opening prensents, Dani kicks back in her new chair from NeeNee and holding the wheels to her new bike that Brennon and I were trying to put together.

Billy riding sisters new bike. When I told him that was Dani's bike, he said, "But she has to share!"

Jean & Mick got a new Wii for Christmas. We all had to watch their first boxing match.

Even though Mick tried his hardest, Jean still knocked him out!
