Here's a few of my favorites!
Hangin with the Hoffman's
Santa PJ party at the Children's Discovery Museum. Ava loved all the exhibits, but didn't share that love for Santa!
Reese humored us and sat on Santa's lap
1st Christmas of the season, James Family! Ava and Reese singing Jingle Bells with Sandy and Lori
Everyone's favorite.....Rob your neighbor
Birky Christmas! Here's Reese opening up the present that would soon become the obstacle of the night. It's a jewelry box by the way.
Ava has never had any real interest in jewelry boxes or jewelry, but of course since she didn't get a jewelry box she was obsessed with it the entire night which caused fights, oh, I'd say every 2 minutes!!! Here she is holding it closely.
Brotherly love
Reese getting in on the brotherly love
What did Santa bring this year you ask? Vanities and Make-up!! Santa must have not wanted the gifts to be too girly because he surprised Ava, Reese and Mommy and brought a remote control dinosaur..hmmm...Santa just some info for next time, the girls are terrified of it and cry every time someone older wants to play with it! ;)
Reese showing Parker her gifts from Santa
Ava so proud of her make-up application
Samford Christmas! Bebe, Aunt Cole, Ava and Reese before the festivities begin!
Love this picture! Reese patiently waiting for her wings.
Love my girls!
Bebe and baby Jax...soon he won't be baby Jax anymore! He's almost 1!
I like to refer to this as New Year's baby. I don't even know how this picture came to be.
The original "kids" of the family, Wrigley and Parker
Samford family 2009
Jacob Christmas! Reese always a trendsetter!
I always love a good present madness shot!
Reese, Ava and Anabelle relaxing after a long day of play!
Side note, for those of you that wonder why I can't get my act together and blog...it's because of moments like today. I get the girls breakfast and sit down to do the blog, all is good until Reese starts crying because Parker ate her waffle. Stop blogging - go and make Reese another waffle. Back to blogging, next up Reese needs to be changed. Stop blogging - change Reese. Back to blogging, Ava yells that she needs help in the bathroom. Stop blogging - help Ava in the bathroom. Back to blogging - Reese comes running downstairs bawling because Ava took her toy. Stop blogging - go and referee fight. Back to blogging, Reese back crying over same toy. Stop blogging - go and referee same fight. Back to blogging and I actually finished! Woohoo!
It looks like January is almost over, but I'll try to get back to blogging in February!
