Project 52 - #2

Well, Christmas is officially over for us, we had our last Christmas get-together today with Josh's siblings and parents. My tree is still up and will remain up until the 21st.... it's family tradition, but now done in memory of my grandmother.

So anyways, we had a busy day, and I remembered to take several pictures to post for my project, but am posting something that has nothing to do with our get-together.

When I take pictures, I usually take several pictures to make sure I get at least one good one, however, I often think they are all good and keep them all, because they display each person's personality.

Brodie with his pencil behind his ear like his daddy and his Poppa. The boys were gonna go work on building a counter for the youth room. Brie loves to come home and put her pajamas and robe on, the robe was a gift from Hunny and Poppa for Christmas. Out of the three, this is Johs's best,

because he thought it was going to be the only one. (haha)

Notice Brodie not even looking at the camera and Josh's "oh great" smile, this is the best of Brie.

While Brodie isn't looking at the camera in this one, he has his usual smile going on, it's a very ornery and mischievous smile. This is Brie's fake smile, and Josh's "ok last one smile".

A Challenge

My mom did a special thing for her blog last year, she posted a picture a week on her blog. So she decided to challenge me to do the same thing. SO, I am officially taking her challenge and will be posting, one picture per week. So tonight ends the week, and here is my first picture.

A picture of me and my sweet babies. Taken in November when we were taking pictures for our 2010 Christmas cards. Oh how these two make my world go 'round!!!

A Giveaway!

Haha made you look.

Really though there is a giveaway, but I have a nice spill about it first. I found this lady online somewhere, someway, and she makes some of the cutest hairbows ever. I have bought several or a couple dozen from her. She also sells some of the most adorable dresses you have ever seen. She often does giveaways for said dreses and is having one right now. So go here

and find out what you have to do to win this gorgeous dress and the matching headband.

Happy 2011!

Better late than never they always say.
2010 sped by quickly especially since my last post.
2010 had it's ups and downs, Josh and I celebrated our 5th anniversary.
We lost a very good family friend, which has made the holidays a little emotional.
I went on a kid-free vacation with my mom and some awesome ladies.
This Christmas was amazing and fun because it was the first year that the kids really got into it. They were excited to leave Santa a note, cookies and milk, Reindeer food that Brie made at school, and a picture of Santa that Brodie colored at school daycare. They enjoyed receiving a letter back form Santa, and seeing the leftovers of the Reindeer food.
Brodie turned 3 which is a miracle, because my sweet boy is very clumsy. Brodie makes us laugh all the time, he is like his Uncle Buddy (my brother), he is going to be the class clown. For a boy he is very verbal and has been since he was abut one and a half. His favorite things are to play dress up in his super hero costumes. B-man loves music, (actually both kids do) and asked for a drum set like our music leader's at church. So Santa brought him a neat little toddler drum set that has two snares, a foot drum, and a symbol. He amazed us with his super mad skills, and he figured out that he can sing and play the drums the too.
Brie turned 7 this year, I can't believe she is getting so close to being 10. Time has flown. Brie is super smart and does very good in school. She is the model student, she has managed to make 100 on her conduct folder every week, and her "best friend" sits at her table with her. I am the head room mom for her class this year, and she takes great joy in the fact that I am able to be at all her class parties. For Christmas Santa left Brie a SEVEN doll set of Disney Princesses, which she loves, and a Glitterizer Barbie thingy that has left our living room looking like Tinkerbell threw-up glitter everywhere!
I'd say in all it was a very good year, and even though we lost our Papa Ron, we are so grateful that he is no longer suffering.
