December....

Hey there!  I have lots of pictures to share today...some random shots and some of the girls with Santa.

Reese grabs the remote any chance she gets...she taught herself how to use it.  It gets a little repetitive watching the same part of Dora over and over, though.  I'm impressed she knows exactly which buttons to push!


Last Friday, Pip was worn out.  She came home from school, laid on the couch and passed out.


Last Sunday, my mom came over and took our annual family front steps photo.  I've given up on the idea of the perfectly posed family picture...it ain't happening.  So this is our version of "perfect."  I truly envy those families who can get an amazing shot of everyone posing and smiling.  So I don't spend money on professional photographers because 1.) these are just fine.....and 2.)  The poor photographer wouldn't know what to make of these two girls.  It's hard to get them to sit like this....and as you can see, their minds are elsewhere.

It rained earlier that day, so these were taken later in the afternoon...and the wind was blowing.  But I think they turned out alright.


A few of just Marshall and me....


Paige has been watching Reese do this.  They do this at school sometimes....cover up one part while looking at another.  They like to do this on the TV.  


The water bottle queen....


Just a few shots from bath time the other night...


And here are the Santa pictures. He came to the school on Tuesday.  Paige was happy to sit in his lap.  Reese wanted nothing to do with him.


Even sitting in my lap...it wasn't happening.  Her shirt wasn't supposed to come up and expose the purple waistband of her pants....oops.  It's hard to find this girl pants that fit and that are soft and not tapered at the bottom.


This is the cutest picture EVER!  The Santa Taste Test!


Another cute one...


All smiles...


Not so happy...


A few I took later on....


That's it for now.  Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Beautiful family pics, Missy! Kudos to you for making it happen even if it can't be perfect!
