Family Pics!

Our photographer, Jessica Swaner, really had her work cut out for her this time!! It's hard to have 2 babies, a 5 year old and 2 adults all looking, smiling and picture ready at the same time! The babies just wanted to crawl around, Kendall wanted to play with them, and Brandon and I...we were just worn out. ha   She did a great job though! I wanted pictures for Christmas, but not "Christmas" pictures - get it?! Since Jessica has moved to Cali :( we have to hook up with her when she comes in town. We were going to pictures at downtown Grapevine, but the day that she was in town, it was absolutely freezing outside, so she moved the location to the Gaylord. I was hesitant about going there because there is SO many people and so many distractions...not to mention all the Christmas decorations. It's pretty and fun to look at, but that's not what I wanted for family pictures. Look at all the great spots she found!
 
These first two pics are my favorite!


 
 Yes, Landry ALWAYS has her hand in her mouth!

 When did Kendall get so much older looking??  :(

 Trying to get a picture of the twins together...and this is what happens...

 I absolutely LOVE Brynlee's face in this one...she is thinking "I'm SO over this mom!!" And yes...right before this pic, I popped the paci out of Landry's mouth and put it behind my back. ha
 Landry doesn't like to keep her bows on...but I still try!

 I think the twins were getting tired of being held...K on the other hand, was just getting her sassy started.

 This is more realistic of what it's like having twins and a sassy big sister! Landry pulled her socks off, Brynlee decided she was hungry, etc.



 
I love my crazy-never know how they're going to act-what they're going to say-when they want to eat-super spunky three girls! Brandon and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
 
Thanks for capturing it all Jess! We love you!

Thanksgiving 2013 - St. Louis

We all went to St. Louis to see my grandparents and my cousin this year. Shane and his crew met us there (from Indy) and we all had a good time. Kendall was SO excited to see "the kids"! She loves them to pieces!

 Mimi and Uncle Shane took the kids down to the street to watch the parade since it was too cold for the twins!


 Never a dull moment! Mom had a flat the morning after we got to St. Louis, so Thanksgiving day, the guys are out there changing it. LOL - had to be there!
 Each kid picked what they wanted to serve everyone.
 Pa was sound asleep in his chair and the kids snuck by him for a quick picture.

Twins bday

As I was taking pictures off my camera from Thanksgiving...I realized....I never posted pictures from the twins first bday party. It was nothing extreme, we just had family over to our new house. It POURED that day, so I didn't get many "before cake" pictures. ha

Since Liz and I already took pics of the girls doing their "cake smash", I only gave them a cupcake at their party. That was enough of a mess!
