Christmas Eve 2010

I think this picture of Trystan and Jonathan is just too awesome!

Nothing like Nerf!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Justine, 12 years old, 7th grade; Jonathan, 7 years old, 1st grade: Trystan, 5 years old, Kindergarten: Anna 5 years old, Pre-K.

I was actually having to fend her off with my leg while taking this picture.

See that face? T isn't messing around.

Justine made Anna and Jonathan pillows. They were both so happy with them.

Trystan with his Nerf sword.

Jonathan's rear.

Anna quickly shed her beautiful Christmas dress (on the way to church she was threatening to just rip it off with her hands {which, when she wasn't even one years old, she did manage to tear a Halloween costume half off with her bare hands in an itchy fit of rage, so I was taking her threat rather seriously!}) for a peace and freedom themed t-shirt which she accessorized with a bow from a present.

Jason and Janenne reading the RC helicopter directions.

Nona got Jonathan his very own robe. He hasn't taken it off since. And when he opened his own Nerf sword this Christmas morning, he was thrilled that HIS SWORD MATCHES HIS ROBE!!!

Trystan looking pretty handsome!

Sweet mom and daughter pic of Janenne and Justine.

December of 2009. Over Christmas vacation, the kids made their own scrapbooks. They really worked hard and made one from start to finish.

She wrote her name! All by herself! And the nice thing about the name Anna is that you don't even have to know that she wrote it completely backwards! December 2009

This was one of her favorite outfits! November 2009.

I wonder if these people realized they were being graced with the presence of an actual princess?
