Christmas Photo's

Finally found the time to post photos from Christmas. Sadly there's a limited amount/variety this year . . . between laziness and blurry shots there wasn't much to choose from.

I had a wonderful time at home and wish I could have stayed longer :)

All dressed up and somewhere to go (I feel prettier when I'm surrounded by my gorgeous sisters!) Traditional Christmas photos . . . only SIX of us kids home this year . . . the house felt empty . . . until everyone visited later :)

Alena, Matt and Jay - - - I sure love them.

Dad opening his favorite gift - - - homemade fudge stuffed with hand-chopped walnuts

I think someone else may have used my camera for this photo . . . and convinced all the little cuties to make faces!

Alena did all the girls hair

Rishelle and Brooke playing the piano and singing primary songs, so cute Helping prepare the pizza toppings

I just loved Shirly's face here :)

Snowflakes

I love cutting up paper. This years attempts .... I think I need to get better at taking the photos. Will work on that.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Deanne and Richard brought Karadyn, Savannah, Nathan and Jacob to visit me for Thanksgiving! It was so great to have them visit and very hard to let them leave on Sunday. While they were here we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner, went to the Statue of Liberty, went to the Manhattan LDS Temple, walked around Central Park, and pushed our way through the crowds at Times Square for cheesecake at Junior's. I think we probably did some other fun things but mostly we just relaxed at home. I didn't get many photos but here's a few.

Had tons of fun sewing this year! Love Halloween!

Pumpkins!

We went to the Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze . . . over 4,000 carved pumpkins. It was pretty amazing. These photos don't do it justice but hopefully you get the idea.
