Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!! Here are somes pics of the kids opening presents.

Carly was way more excited to eat the wrapping paper then to open her presents. Which is why she only had three presents!

Russell Could you PLEASE just smile for the camera?

So for a while now I have wanted to do a really cool christmas present for my mother in law with pictures of all her kids. Ross's brother Russell decided to be uncooperative (he really hates having his picture taken). These are about the best I could do. I finally had to have his mom give me one last night from high school, which was almost three years ago! Oh well at least it is better then these.

This is the first attempt he wouldn't even face me.

Next I tried to trick him by saying I was taking a picture of My New nephew Luke

He just put his hat over his face.

Finally we were at Golden Corral and I had my Camera ready! I said his name and when he looked up I took the picture!(not the prettiest face but at least he is facing the camera!)

Lots to talk about

Ok so once again i need to reiterate I AM A HORRIBLE BLOGGER! I really don't take the time to blog but I need to. I'm super stressed about christmas. Someone said to me at work the other day "people that work retail don't enjoy the holidays." I agree we have to deal with all the crowds and work longer hours. I'm trying my hardest to enjoy it for the sake of my kids but... Anyway enough complaining here are some beautiful pics that my Friend Aimee took of my family. I'm starting a blog for her because between taking pictures, editing them, working and chasing her super cute little girl around she really doesn't have time to do it. Hopefully soon I will have a link to it if anyone is interested. She does an awesome job and she is so creative (and she doesn't charge an arm and a leg).
