christmas card out takes

well maddox might be embarrassed
so we do not promote incest i swear...... this is actually a STEAMROLLER
i love you maddox.... sort of
now daddy is grabbing his crotch and has a tutu on his leg.... yeah wont work
why is she grabbing her crotch?
maddox is horrified
yeah... ditched him lets bounce
how hard is too hard to squeeze?


okay so we were trying to get a cute pic for our Christmas card. This is easier said then done... we still do not have one but we have some funny ones that are better memories then a real card picture.

so i am so over due for blog updates ... but the day after thanksgiving Ava,Maddox and I headed to NC. Yes i flew by myself with both the kids and it was cake. I am so very proud of all of us. We got to see my dad (no pics this time) , my brother, sister, Peg and then Felice, Laura, Grant, Carter (again no pics:(), my Mom (Gannie), Gandbug (her husband), Caroline, Alexandra, Wawa, Gita, kathleen, Ryan, Audrey, and Rupert. It was wonderful to be home and see everyone. We had a great great trip and the kids were fabulous. I was ready for Keegan to come join us not leave it all.
