Christmas of Dreams Blog Party Day 1


Today is the kickoff of Momdot's Christmas of Dreams Blog Party! Woohoo! Everyone loves a party right?

So here goes: I am now to introduce you to my family and show pics from holidays past.

These are my kiddos altogether without fighting (that does not happen very often). In order from oldest to youngest, we have Michael, Brandon, Aaron, Felicia, and Madelyn. This was taken in 2006.



This is the aftermath of Christmas morning 2007.



This picture is my dad and my hubby removing the door of the powder room after my son Brandon was stuck in there during our Christmas Eve get together. Oh the memories of my boy screaming for help. Never a dull moment around here.


Sorry, no pics of me because I am always behind the camera.
Day one of the Christmas of Dreams blog party is sponsored by La Belle Toile and This and That by Randi.

  11. Your photos made me smile! I can see my son being one to lock himself in somewhere (well, it's already happened once). I don't look forward to the aftermath of holidays, all that clean up.

  14. Thanks for commenting on my blog. I am always telling my husband to take pictures of me with our son because I would like my son to have documented proof that I was at all these events in his life...not just being the camera person. :) You've got an adorable family.

  30. Getting stuck in the bathroom...sounds like something that would happen here.

    Although, it would probably be me, and I wouldn't be "stuck" haha!

    You have a beautiful family!

  31. Don't you love how we spend so long wrapping to just have them rip paper and spread it all over the place. But it wouldn't be christmas without it. HAHAHA my little girl is rocking out to your music on your page.

  32. My server at work doesn't let me post comments to your blog, so I have to do this at the end of the day from home. Anyhoo...

    That door story is hilarious. How the heck did he get stuck in there? A great one to tell the dates he brings home when he's older.
