Christmas Party and family photo shoot

My parents were put in charge of their ward Christmas party this year.  My mom worked so hard so I really wanted to go see what she had spent so much time putting together.  She did a great job and it was a great evening.  They took pictures at the very end.

We traveled from room to room and I found a box of kleenex's in one room and Ellie was in heaven.  If there is anything she can make a mess with she LOVES it.  She was going to town just ripping all the kleenex's out.  It was a mess to clean up but it was worth the entertainment time it provided. Good job parents it was a great night!!

I wasn't going to do christmas cards this year but I started getting them in the mail and decided I really wanted to.  I told myself last year I would do it this year so I ended up doing it.  We had no decent pictures of the four of us so I decided right before church since we were all showered I would try to get a couple pictures with a self timer.  We actually liked them but the problem was since it was a self timer it was kind of hard to get everything lined up and focused.  So some of our favorites are blurry and chopped off.  Oh well, we got a couple good ones.  

I really wish I had photoshop so I could have changed the background or switched heads on some pictures but I don't so I just work with what I have.  I was actually pretty happy with the outcome considering the circumstances.
