Christmas Card 2011

Presents.  Birthday.  Cake.  Party. Pure Excitment! Makenzy's 4th Birthday!

-2010- -2011- Almost 1 year ago, Becca Kidd was taking our family pictures in 18 degree weather. It snowed. School was cancelled. The U-Dub was pretty much shut down too. Randy was home from work. So we decided since we were all home might as well do family pictures. She was so great to accommodate. 20 minutes later we were done. This year, we did it when the sun was shining. So much better. It was hard to coordinate our times, so it was mid-afternoon. This was a fun shot, but the lighting was better under the trees. Now, we have so many choices for the Christmas card. Thank You Becca!  You always have done such a great job for our family and always at the deeply discounted friend rate.  THANK YOU!

 So this was a big part of our summer this year.  MOVING!    Old house (above) to new house (below).

The cuteness factor of school choir events is magnified when you are only 6 or 7.  Cayleb and his freined Gabe, who was at our house ealrier, eagerly gave me a pre-concert concert replete with actions and funny faces that I video recorded.  They were both pretty excited to sing!
