Happy Holidays everyone!!

just because I love this pic...

We had a big weekend! Full of birthday parties and best friends and balls of fun :) I just loved this pic of Sydni and Matilda and thought I would share. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Sydni sure did!

new action sets

Here are some weekend pics with my new action set from Pioneer Woman! I really like them...not as much as the first but maybe they just take some getting used to. I really like the first and third...not too wild about Sydni in the 2nd. Of course...she wasn't really in a picture taking mood on Sunday.

ahhhh Christmas

The only thing better than looking at a Christmas tree right before Christmas....

is being a KID and looking at a Christmas tree...
They are getting excited for Santa I think :)

Branson trip

Here are a couple pics of the girls. We took off the Branson for a couple days with my parents. Mom and I had TONS of shopping done and had so much fun!! Why is so much fun to spend tons of money??? We got lots of cute clothes for the girls and ourselves..heehee. It was great. We are already planning another trip in the spring. We found a GREAT condo right behind hwy 76 in Branson. It was perfect.

our weekend

WHEW...it was a busy one. We went to Waldron to watch Nashville play them in football. When we left at halftime it was 35-0, so I am pretty sure we won! The girls had a great time...especially Averi! You will have to check out those pics on the website at the end of the month. TOO CUTE!

This first pic if Miss Sydni. She had ink ALL OVER HER.
This closeup was cuter but her entire legs and arms were covered in ink from a stamp kit she got in her pumpkin.
So we were scrubbing her in the bathtub at 10pm...fun!



Here are a couple before church on Sunday. Averi was pretty good at keeping her headband on during the day.

This is my brother, Matt, and his fiancee, Laura. They stayed at our house over the weekend. It was great to get to know her better. They are getting married April 18th and the girls are going to be in the wedding :)
You know how much this thrills me....
CUTE PRETTY DRESSES!!!!
Congrats Matt and Laura!

Wild Things Farm - pumpkin pickin'

We headed out to the Wild Things Farm today. The girls had a wonderful time feeding the animals and picking a pumpkin. We even did a hayride and corn maze...although I didn't get pics of that. It was a great time! I am exhausted...haha

some pics before the party

We went to Landry's 1st birthday party today! But before we went I got a few pics of my precious redheads...

Here are some pics this morning before church. Averi loves her poppa. She is saying his name now. It is soooo cute!

The Sydni Series

I talked Sydni into going outside for some pictures by letting her wear her new jeans. It seems she hasn't gotten over her jean fettish from last winter. I think I got some cute shots...I am going to try to put these into a collage...
