Finally... Christmas pictures!!

I wanted the videos on here last, but am too lazy to try and figure out moving them through this HUGE post. I could have put lots more (David got me a Flip for my birthday, so I am video crazy!), but chose these. I put these on here mainly for family, so that is my disclaimer. :) Feel free to find pictures below.

This is SOOOOO Brooklyn. Loving her pillowpet present from Grandmommy and Granddaddy!

Again, SOOOOOO Brooklyn.  Playing with Corbin, then changing the game into hugging him to death.

Evidently she thinks Adley is really funny!!!!

The video I wanted of Reagan REFUSES to load on blogger.  Not sure why... I've tried probably 10 times.  But this one of our little rockstar is pretty good too, it's SOOOOO her, although it has nothing to do with Christmas, really.  :) It does have everything to do with a musical princess wand turned air guitar, and that's plenty.  Goober.

OK.

My goal was to have Christmas pics up before January ended. I am at least going to get that done!! Going through a billion Christmas pics is always such a daunting task, but I am on it! Just don't expect them to be edited pretty or anything, ok?!

This is a random Reagan pic, taken before we left for FtW. Typical day in Reagan-world.... she was "headed to the pretend beach" complete with laying on the floor on her Tiana beach towel.

A tradition I plan to keep for years to come:
I've been collecting Christmas-themed books. Santa-ish and Birth of Jesus, all mixed in. I got 24 total, wrapped them, then one "appeared" under the girls' Christmas tree each Dec night after bathtime. So, we read a Christmas book each night for a bedtime story. I have boxed them all up to re-wrap next year (will just give away any that are too baby-ish and add to the collection each year).

That meant we had to take some with us to FtW. Here is Granddaddy doing the honors.

Sweet girl woke up the morning we were to do "Christmas" with over 102 fever. No symptoms, just felt YUCK. This picture shows how NOT herself she was.

Beautiful Adley.

Reagan perked up enough, thanks to presents. She was puny, but made it through.
My mom gets the kids Christmas pj's every year. It's her thing. This was the first year we found something unisex enough for ALL FOUR to match rather than coordinate. Love it.

My Grandmommy, giving m&m candy canes to the kiddos. :)

"Thank you" hugs.

I think she liked it. :)

Stockings! Grandmommy and Granddaddy fill the kids' stockings at their house.

Sick girl.

It was the year of the sleeping bag! Major hit. They slept in them every night after this.

Brooklyn's turn!

Uncle Amoo helping with her Elmo Shape See'n'Say.

Reagan showing off her Pillow Pet!

Adley and Corbin gave THIS awesome present to Brook. She LOVES it.

And Reagan got an entire box of dress-up clothes from them. SOOOOO up her alley. Little sick-but-happy Tinkerbell fairy.

Adam and Missy gave these cool folding chairs to my parents. It was hilarious how excited Daddy was!

Reagan playing "teacher" with some of Adleys play-school presents. So sweet, Adley let R be the teacher a few times. They had SO much fun.

And, sweet Corbin sharing some Legos. (notice R as a new princess... and my brother may or may not be picking his nose back there.  Sorry, Adam.)  :)

Movie time!!

Corbin got a BB gun. All the little AND big kids had fun with this present! Little Mermaid taking a shooting lesson from Granddaddy.

Corbin. Concentrating. Hard.

Reagan taking another turn, between costume changes. :)

(fyi, my parents have a big creek and woods behind their house. no neighbors were harmed in the shooting of these pictures.... )

LOOOOOOOVE this pic.

Sorry, here's more, but I love these pictures!

Don't remember what they were talking about here, but they sure are sweet!

Adley's turn!

Both my girls LOVE my brother so much. I think the feeling is mutual, and it makes me so happy.

We went to holiday in the park at SixFlags, and I bet we got some great pictures there too. But, they are on my mom's camera.... bet those won't make my January deadline... shoot.
