Just finished the Skousen family calendar for 2012. To those of you waiting for one, they are all getting mailed to me & I will send/deliver them.

And, because I'm all happy they are done, here's a preview:

Christmas Pictures, Part 2

Finally I have the Christmas photos to post.

 On Christmas Eve the kids, cousins, and friends reenacted the Christmas story. Not all the costumes were exactly true to form, and, yes, Reid is wearing face paint.  :)

The moment of anticipation/sleepiness.

Dani loves here Jessie doll.

Those are Gage's blue eyes peeking through that mask.

Don't all boys love Nerf guns.

Awesome indeed.

Mommy and Saber loving Christmas morning.

Don't worry. The twins got their own presents. The just like to check out each others stuff.

As many of you know, I am always cold. So, I asked for a new coat.  :)

My little princess!

Look at those adorable dark eyes.

My baby is just too cute.

Christmas & New Year's Pics, Part 1

I have all the Christmas and New Year's Day pictures from our camera. In part 2 (coming next week) I'll post all of the pictures we get from everyone else.

Sabrina smiles while sporting "baby pattern baldness." She had tons of hair when she was born, but her head is growing faster than her hair right now.   :)

Danica with her first "Rapunzel Braid," as she calls it.

The kids are helping Mommy make Christmas cookies...

and Dani is obviously loving it.

Merry Christmas to all!

Dani admiring her presents.

Shamefull admission time. We don't have any other clear pics of the kids on Christmas morning. Nana was taking pics with here fancy camera, so all the Christmas morning pics are with her technologies. Next week, Nana's pics. 

Dani loving Sabrina and her goofy grins.

Laurel loves stealing Sabrina whenever she can. This was a theft at the Roemisch's New Year's bash.

The kids loved the party and the movie.

And we celebrated Aunt Nola's birthday too.

Happy New Year everyone! All the best to you and yours in 2012.

Promised pictures

Here are some of the pictures I promised--though they are not at all in order. Also, I've added links to Megan M's blog as well as to Matt's mission blog under the Clayson Links section. Enjoy!

On to the pictures.

I'm not sure what was so funny here.

A few of my favorite Sabrina pics.

Look at that cute little face!

While I'm at it, a couple of Danica pictures that I love.

On to my handsome little men.

Look at the size of Gage's mouth! That kid is amazing.

I had to throw this one in. Gage looks like is posing for some teen romance flick.

*movie announcer voice* "In a world where teens may only communicate by soulful looks and text messaging...one chosen teen (who happens to have the super-power of flight) would trade it all for love...and eye drops."

The redhead.

I know it looks all warm and summery, but this was taken in November. Reid hate sleeves, and by extension, coats.

More attempts for that magical Christmas card photo.

Me and my new little angel.

Special thanks to MB, whose skills make these moments more memorable.

Next week I'll post the Christmas and New Year's pics.

December Photos

I have not put the Christmas pics on the computer yet, so that post is pending. For now, here are some other pictures from December.

I made rapid trip to Idaho just before Christmas to see Tanae get married in the Rexburg Temple.

Tanae and Scott coming out of the temple. They are obviously very happy together, and they looked so cute.

Even grandma is smiling in this picture--for those of you who don't know, she is very camera shy.

Look closely at this decoration job. It has a lot going on!

 Sabrina likes being held like a football. I'm not making that up.

 

Reid's shirt is too close to the truth.

More love from my baby girl.

I hope you all had a merry Christmas! God bless us every one.
