Tis the Season...

I was a little late on getting our family chirstmas pictures taken for my Christmas cards this year.

So, I decided to take some good old fashion last minute home pictures....

Ryan and I went to best buy last week to go "Christmas shopping"

 after we got home from our trip.

We ended up buying ourselves the blue ray "Christmas Vacation" movie addition..

It is a tradition every year we watch that movie.. 

Sometimes they find me watching it a little earlier than I should..

 oh well.:)

So anyway, the movie came with a  (Clark W. Grizwall Santa Hat)

Great additon... It proved to be a very useful prop this year in our

family christmas pics....

I sooo wanted a good picture of duke in the santa hat

but its wasn't in the cards to have him sit up straight and wear the hat at the

same time.

Merry Christmas Everyone:)

Jacob caught her on camera before he told her

to stop and went and got me... Little stinker:)

Busy Season...

Faith is in the Alaska Childrens Choir this year.

She loves to sing so we thought what better

way to put her enjoyment to test.

She likes the choir but doesn't always like

the work involved. (hard lesson's to be learned)

She had 4 holiday performance come up right after

we got back from Hawaii, so she had to jump right in...

She did wonderful, her last performance will be in Anchorage

next Saturday.

Faith is also still involved in dance, she took ballet this last

season.

Her ballet performance was short but sweet... I hope to see her in do more

ballet she is a natural.

Here is Faith and Cooper (my Best friends son)

We took these photo's after Faith's performance

at the new museum in Anchorage.

Yes, Cooper did not want to be in this picture.. Or any

picture..lol  

Faith is taking control of the situation and still maintaining the

perfect picture pose. lol

Faith and her Daddy :)

Mia, Papa and their Faith.

This is a school performance Faith had last wed.
