Family Portrait

We recently adopted a new family member and we needed a picture to put on the adoption website it has only taken us two almost three weeks to get the family together, all of us feeling well, dressed and happy to get a picture done. It was a beautiful day so we decided to take advantage of it! I think it turned out ok the lighting wasn't perfect but this was number 20 or so, so we went with it (hey everyone is looking at the camera, that is a big accomplishment).

December in February

Yes I am finally posting about Christmas, hooray! We were lucky enough to have my parents come down and visit over the Christmas break and let me tell you it is always fun to have company.

Christmas Eve the annual opening of the pj's.

Wonderful blankets from our Nana they are so fun!

Christmas day filled with presents, church and good food!

The Tree

The Dresses

The PJ's

and good company.

We visited the Japanese Tea Gardens, despite what the sign says. It was really fun to walk around and I bet come spring it will be even more beautiful. Not to mention that it was free!

We also did the Riverwalk because well it's just something you have to do when company comes to town. This year the girls, my mother and I decided to walk it and we really didn't realize how long it is.

I may get some comments from my parents about this picture, but I thought it was cute!
Can't wait until next year!

You May Need a Tissue

Today I held my friend and kissed her and told her what a good and faithful friend she had been to me. Often times I took her for granted and sometimes I cussed her for her mistakes, but she always was the first to forgive and she always listened to me. She put up with a lot, and took it in stride. Everyone who has met her holds her somewhere in their hearts. I held her as she drifted off to sleep today, and kissed her one last time, never to be forgotten!
