Our Boys!

Grandma tried to take a picture of the boys today to put into my New Years card......what a task! Brayden was great! He was so much help! The twins on the other hand were going in different directions- literally. It was quite comical! I did get one picture of them that wasn't too bad....I'll use it if I don't get a chance to take another one. We had a FUN day all together! Here is one of the cute pictures I got of them!

Our day together!

 

Drake, Jordan, Barbie, Brody, me, Beckie, Jackie & Julie

My mom takes us 4 girls to Pella every year to the tour of Christmas homes.

It is one day a year we are all together.

As our girls have gotten older- some of them join us from time to time.

And this year the twins got to come along too!
It was a great time last Friday!
Thanks Mom!  
Love ya,

What a pretty package!!

Good morning!

Here is a pretty package!  I love the BOW!  And check out the tag.....it is created with one of the hostess stamp sets- 'Christmas Wishes' from the Holiday Catalog.  Wouldn't you like to get a package from someone that looked like this!

'Christmas Wishes'
cs:  Naturals White, Real Red, Polka Dot Parade designer paper
ink:  Old Olive
supplies:  Linen Thread, Merry Minis punch pack (star), Basic Rhinestones, Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta ribbon, glue dots, dimensionals, paper piercing tool & mat pack

(This package was on our display board at convention last July!  Someone is pretty creative!)

I am looking forward to today.......Brayden is coming to spend the day with the twins & me.  He hasn't been here for almost 2 weeks & told his mom last night that he missed us & needed to come spend the day with us- so we are looking forward to our day together!  Papa has meetings all day, so won't be around.  It will just be my boys & me!  I am hoping to get a picture of the 3 of them for our New Years card......we'll see how that goes!  Wish me luck!

Hope you have a great day!!
Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!
