after christmas #1

-k- so we had a fantastic Christmas! we all got (most) of what we wanted..(cory is really hard to shop for here...) i havent had time to sit and download all the Christmas, unwrapping of the presents yet, so these pics will have to do until i find the will power.... we got these done in September, just before we found out i was pregnant! and yes we've been having the hardest time keeping them to ourselves so we could send pretty pictures to Nana, and Grammy, and Grampa! so these are our 2008 family pictures we get family pictures done EVERY year, and we are going to continue getting family pictures done EVERY year until I'm old and dead... so enjoy these..

LOOK!! my babies are bare foot! i thought it was awesomely adorable! i love baby feet, and my girls have some cute toesies!



my favies are the ones with me and Cory, the girls had fun saying, "mommy watched the camera!" and "daddy your not smiling!" it was way cute watching them play photographer, the real photographer guy thought they were adorable!


and here are my monsters! we were a little disappointed that the photographer stuck nikoy in that pose again, i forget photographers like that pose, and we have a hundred family pics of nikoy in that pose, unfortunately we were to awestruck by the girls good behavior to say anything...

see? here's that pose again! i would have preferred to have her sitting up, but again, i was awe struck by the weirdness of my daughters behaving....

Kaylee turned out ADORABLE as usual! and i LOVE the bare feet! i love her smiles, they reach all the way up to her eyes! its so cute! her laugh is infectious... and no.... there is no cure...

so yeah those were the grandparents Christmas presents! normally i would have gotten them something a little more......interactive, but its been 2 years since they've seen the gran girls, and both Nana and Grammy LOVE getting pictures so there was no complaints..:) (that i know of......he he ) so yeah.. any who, we brought in a pretty good haul this Christmas! :D, we totally over spent as usual, top ramen and mac-n-cheese for the rest of the month... ( sherry could have mac-n-cheese for the rest of her life though so no complaints in her area..) but i think out of all the gifts given, sherry got the best stuff! she got awesome fun scrap booking stuff from her mom, a WII fit from Nana, and from Cory, she FINALLY got a new tablet! it came with a wireless mouse and a mouse-pen! it's a mouse, but it's like holding a pen!! FANTASTIC!! and with the fantastic mouse pen, sherry is able to draw fantastic things!! of course, i have to get used to it, and learn it so give me time...(why does sherry keep switching from first person the third person? who knows?) so yeah.. these were the first drawings i did with my mouse-pen!

this is the !ST drawing, no paper, no erasers! no colored pencils! just a click of the mouse-pen! and about and hour and a half of my time!!EEEEEEEEEEEE! it was so fun!

this is me getting better..:) its a bit "flamboyant" for a dragon, Cory chuckles and says "fly away ya fairy!" so its my fairy dragon...flamboyant or not i think its grown on me.. i didn't like it at first, but the more i look at it the more i like it..i also got some super silky Victoria secret "love spell" body butter! I've been wanting it for a LOOOOONG time, but unfortunately I'm to stingy to pamper myself... so Cory got me the whole set! the girls got some awesome bed sets from Nana! and some fun things from Grammy and grampa, as soon as i get around to it, I'll take pics and post....:).... they got HUGE teddy bears from Santa, and some way cute Disney princess barbies from mommy and daddy (among other things!) but i think the biggest hits so far is the flash lights from Grammy and grampa... and the BEAUTIFUL dresses from Nana! the girls cant wait till church on Sunday to wear them. nikoy has wanted to wear hers around the house, but I've told her not only no, but absolutely not, (she cant drink water without finding a way for it to stain her new outfit). Cory got some awesome video games, and a very comfy new under Armour jogging suit, and a new tool box since his tools have long outgrown the one he has now..:) so yeah.. that's our Christmas so far.. as soon as i have the will power to sit and re size all 15 pictures i took...( only 15????whats wrong with me??) I'll update the "after Christmas" blog...:) any who, i hope you all had a fantastically fantastic christmas as well! we love you all!!
