Family Pictures
We had family pictures taken by my friend Sandi last week, and she did a great job! Seriously, I didn't think we would get one good picture. Between Emmett throwing a tantrum throughout the shoot, and MaryEllen WAY overdoing it on the posing, I was pretty sure there couldn't be any decent shots. I should have had more faith in Sandi! After editing I ended up with a couple of really beautiful family poses, and at least one good shot of each of the kids. The big shocker is that I'm pretty sure Henry has a future in modeling! he was by far the most cooperative, and we have some absolutely gorgeous pictures of him strutting his stuff. Enjoy!

Just Pictures
MaryEllen with our tiny tree.
We've opted for a little tree the last couple of years, for Emmett's safety and to save space. I like it just as well as a big one!
Henry Finally earned his Sheriff Woody doll and is potty trained! Yay!!!!
Brian in his big huge knee immobilizer.
Giant marshmallows are a TON of fun!!!
Emmett discovered the camera on our computer and loves taking pictures of himself. They always turn out better though if he has a little help.
Buche De Noel for Christmas Eve.
MaryEllen dressed as Mary on Christmas Eve. (Naturally, her American Girl doll is baby Jesus.)

Slacker
That's me! I can't believe how long it's been since I posted! I'm just going to do a little catching up.
Thanksgiving was great... I did the Run to feed the Hungry for my 5th time this year! It was a great experience as it always is, although the weather was in the 30's!!! I bundled the kids as best I could and they had a great time cheering on all of the runners.
We had Thanksgiving dinner with the Faulconers/ Bjurstroms, and it was a great feast for all!
The month of December was a little crazy. Brian had surgery just a week before Christmas on a torn quad muscle, so the whole month before was spent trying to make sure I was ready for Christmas. I'm happy to say I was sufficiently prepared and the surgery went well. Recovery has been slow, but Brian started back to work last week and is adjusting fairly well. It's going to be a long time before he's back to normal, but I think he's happy with the progress he's made.
Christmas was fun, with the kids all getting their most coveted toys and things, and even some that they didn't expect! MaryEllen was especially thrilled with the Panda pillow pet that Aunt Francesca got for her! (She has a weird obsession with panda bears right now... whatever makes her happy!) The boys got so many batman/ space/ car/truck/ little people toys that they've been fully occupied for the last month, which makes mommy very happy! So now everything is pretty much back to normal with MaryEllen back in school and Brian back to his old schedule. I am happy to be in a new year, working toward accomplishing new goals! Happy New Year!!!!!
About to start the run on Thanksgiving morning. SO COLD!!!!
Mailing Letters to Santa at at Macy's (Emmett had one too, but refused to pose next to the mailbox with it.)
Our visit with Santa (once again, Emmett was there, but was being disagreeable.)
I'll have more pictures when I sync my phone... which I almost never do!!! I need to soon though, and I'll try to post then.

A little Halloween
I don't know why... but I didn't take very many Halloween pictures this year. I have NO EXCUSE, because even if I forget my camera I can use my iPhone. Hopefully my posterity will excuse my laziness. We didn't do too much trick or treating, due to the Sabbath day, but we had a fun ward trunk r' treat on Saturday. We went to my parents house for dinner on Sunday and I let (or forced, in Emmett's case) the kids put on their costumes for the evening. It was very low key, and I actually loved it!
I carved these 3 pumpkins plus a spider, but for some reason that one didn't get a picture taken.
Brian carved this based off of one we saw at Disneyland.
Our trunk for the Trunk r' treat. (There's the spider!)
I could not get these kids to pose for a picture!!!! We went super cheap on costumes this year... I borrowed the Batgirl costume from one of ME's friends, and got the Batman and Robin costumes at a thrift store for $1.50 each! (They're both way too small, but for that price who cares!) I had to make them capes and boot covers, but overall I probably only spent $8 on all the costumes!
Messy dessert at Grandma's house.
