Family Pics

Back in October we had family pictures taken. The weather was perfect and the kids were bribed so the pics turned out great. Here are a few of my favorites.

Christmas morning

This is my last Christmas post. 2 more then I am caught up and ready for the new year.

We spend Christmas morning here as a family of 5. It was so quiet and fun. Miles made the dreaded Santa confession to me 2 days before Santa came. He is fine with it; although I was a bit sad. He has grown up so much this year. My baby is changing and turning into a fine young man.

Anna opening up her ipod touch. We decided to return that and get her an ipad Mini since the boys have one. She was so grown up through all this.

And this is how the boys spent the whole day.

Mom, Billy and Becca & Joe and Pat came over for breakfast. Later that night mom came over for dinner. It was so nice and relaxing. I’m very sad I did not take any pictures.

Whole family pics

Before we did CeCe Santa we had family pictures made. What a process that was. 7 little people and 7 adults. UGH! But we survived and got a couple of good shots.

Sweet John Pierce was not having pictures. Typical almost 2 year old. Those of us that have been through it just laugh.
