♥ Blessed ♥

At our house, picture taking is just a part of Christmas. Everyone has just gotten used to me having the camera out and making asking everyone to cooperate. Unfortunately, this year my (main) lens on my camera broke a few weeks before Christmas, and most of our pictures were taken with a phone and a small point and shoot camera, thus they are not that great quality and some are little blurry.   I have been completely lost without my camera! :(

Also, anytime our oldest (Colt) is involved in the picture taking, we’ve learned to expect the unexpected. Then add to that a 4 year old (Luke) that laughs at everything big brother does, and it makes for a very interesting photo shoot. The photos pretty much show which ones cooperate (and which ones don't). :)

From Christmas Eve:

 
I finally just gave up and was saying just take it anyway....it is what it is.  :)
 
 
 
Three generations of ladies.  :)  Me, Joy & Mama
 
Koda, Amber & Colt.  See Koda's eyes?  That cracks me up.  Her eyes were glowing green (instead of red) and when I tried to photo correct it, it wouldn't correct anything but the middle part of her eyes.  Koda looks like she's wearing green eye shadow.  :) 
 
 
Mama and Daddy
 
Pop playing with Luke.  Luke was making the Hulk "smash" the tower.  Jason made the blocks for him for Christmas.
 
Mama, Daddy, Luke & Joy

From Christmas morning:


I have no idea why that date says 12/24/2012, because it was 12/25....Christmas morning!
 
Brothers.....Luke sharing a "cupcake" with Colt.
 


Luke loved helping hand out the gifts. 

 



We finally got all the Christmas decorations  down this past weekend. The house always looks so bare after they come down, at least for awhile until I get used to it. Do you think so? But it IS kind of nice to get back into our normal routine. I'm looking forward to a wonderful 2013. One thing I know for sure.......we are blessed. :)

  20. Great pictures of wonderful people! I take a lot of pictures with my cell phone and so some of them are blurred as well, I guess I shake when I hold the phone to take pictures. What kind of camera do you use normally?

  22. Mama,

    I do say that you have good-lookin' kids. :) But where do they get that from? Their parents, of course! :) It's fun to look at all these pictures. :)

    Love you! 8!
