Christmas picture attempt

We spent a good part of Sunday afternoon trying to get a good picture for our Christmas cards this year. Here our some of the results. THis first one really highlights her curly hair in the back.


THis one is about the best of the bunch ...I think so, do you? (but it isnt a perfect sweet look into the camera grin like we got last year, so I am not really satisfied.)


She acted like we injured her by putting that hat on her head!

THis one is cute, but not festive enough.


Let go Daddy!

This one is sweet too...is this the best of the bunch?

Thankful for Jamie

Thanksgiving was wonderful. We are truly thankful to have our sweet baby Jamie as our daughter!

She's a Dancing Queen!

Fun with our girl tonight- I had a short video that really shows her shaking her stuff but I can't get it to post! She used that little box as a rattle as it had plastic toys inside of it and made a neat noise. She loves standing on the stepstool dancing and twirling like she is on stage!

The Fair and the Parade

This is a 3 day old baby goat - the highlight of the fair experience for Jamie!


Her First Merry Go round ride - She tantrumed a bit when we took her off.







We enjoyed this three day weekend thoroughly with friends and fun for all. Saturday we went to Aunt Patty and Unka Johns for dinner for Chris' birthday; yesterday we went to the fair and today we took the train to the parade. Something messed up with the camera -I had it set to the wrong setting and each picture during the parade was completely bleached out, so the pictures from today are all afterwards. Jamie enjoyed her first lollipop during the train ride back to the car.

Ander's party

Our good friends son turned 2 and we were invited to his party. Ander met Jamie the day after she joined our family and it has been a joy to have the two of them 'come up together'! A good time was had by all, and Jamie got more Cake!

Jamie at the Halloween Carnival!

Let her Eat Cake!

My friends had us over for my birthday last weekend and served my favorite - Steak and Cake!! I love chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. And now Jamie does too! She really doesn't usually get cake candy or cookies, but for my birthday we had to let her try it and she absolutely loves it. We took home the rest of the cake and every night for the next few days she would yell Cake!! Until I gave her some. A girl after my own heart.
