Family pictures

I have to get these babies used to having a million pictures taken of them!

Here are Ellie and Miles at 3 weeks old.

 At this point, I think Dex may have had enough picture taking!

I love this picture of the babies!

I love the babies!

 We had everyone together for Christmas!  

My kids are awesome.  Everyone was really busy, and had places they needed to be.  We were down to the last few hours that it would be possible for us all to be together.  They all drove out to our house, just so I could have my picture.  That meant Mike and Manda getting all packed up, (no small task!)

Caitlyn driving across the valley, and Braden and Hanna leaving the Rushton get together to sit and smile for me.  I love the picture, but I love that my kids would do this for me so I could have my picture.

Thanks!

 Mike and Amanda's family now account for half our family!

 We couldn't talk Caitlyn into getting into this picture with us.

Dex on the other hand....if he sees a picture is about to be taken, he doesn't hesitate to jump in!

 We love our newlyweds!

Hanna's first red-neck Christmas...welcome to the family!

Braden and Hanna are in town for Christmas!

They finally get to meet Ellie and Miles.

Because of the storm, our plans had to be altered, and we all met at Mike and Manda's house for Christmas Eve.

We got Dex this giant Batman.

 I think he liked it!

 Braden and Hanna gave Dex sparklers for Christmas.  It was too windy outside, , so this is where our true colors start showing.....

  Of course, let's do fireworks in the basement!

 Braden and Hanna gave Caitlyn and Amanda these quilts.  The fabric is from the table runners from Braden and Hanna's wedding.  Hanna's mom made these quilts!  They are awesome!

Hanna made me a really cool glass bead watch.  Caitlyn gave us a set of pots and pans.  I have never had a matching set, just the mis-matched stuff we got from our wedding a few years ago (31 years ago)  Our kids give the most thoughtful gifts!

I think this is the first Christmas that Hanna received a gift from a junk yard.  Hanna has one wheel that doesn't match the others, so Dean searched junkyards till he found the right one.

 Ellie and Miles got to meet a few family members on Christmas.  Here is Miles with his 

Great Grandpa Jenson

 Ellie meeting her Great Aunt Krista.

 Krista brought a gift for big brother Dex.   So thoughtful.

 Miles and Great Grandma Jenson, with Hanna in the background.

Krista and Charity with Miles and Ellie.  Teri and Rachel also came over to meet the babies. So fun to show these babies off to my family!

I have the coolest family.
