Our Family Photos

A few weeks ago when my Uncle and Aunt (my mom's brother & sister) were visiting from California for my Grandma's 80th birthday, we had family photos taken. We have never had photos of ALL of us together before and we are so pleased with them!

Since many of us are planning to use the very best photos for our Christmas cards this year, I am only sharing a select few poses with you (out of hundreds!) so that they are still somewhat of a surprise when the time comes...

Husband, Uncle, Sister's Boyfriend, Dad, Mom, Aunt, Sister, Me, Grandma, Niece, Nephew, Son!



There were some silly outtakes~I love this picture!

Last weekend, my family celebrated my Grandmother's 80th birthday! My Uncle Jerrold(my Mom's brother) and Aunt Marla (my Mom's sister) both flew in from California for the occasion. While they were here, we ate way too much good food, laughed our heads off and had fun celebrating. (more to come in the next post)

We all went to see (my nephew) Cameron's football game. Unfortunately, he wasn't feeling very good that day, but still managed to make a huge tackle! His team won big that day!

Good job, Cameron!
And since we were at the new Rogers Mountie stadium, I had to get Mason's picture with this Mountie...

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a great Thanksgiving! We got to spend time with my Aunt Marla who was here visiting from California. And my Mom's dinner was exceptionally tasty this year!

I brought these little "acorns" that I made. I got the idea from Junk Mammas & thought they were so cute!




I also made these cranberry-walnut-apple tarts that look pretty disgusting in the picture, but were very good. They were supposed to come out of the cupcake liners & be a free-standing tart, but I accidently used too much cranberry & they were too messy to take out.

This is what it's all about...family scattered everywhere!

Just a couple of turkeys...

Isn't he dainty?


That weekend, we went to see the movie Four Christmases. We all LOVED it! Go see it! (can't beat my girl Reese!)

Thanksgiving 2007

We celebrated Mason's second Thanksgiving at my parent's house. The food was wonderful, the desserts even more wonderful, and my Aunt Marla was here visiting from CA so it was a great holiday!
