Last Shreds Of Sanity

So I am a little behind on the entries for this contest, so just bear with me (I've got 8 of these to make up!). I've been busy doing...well I don't really know what I have been doing. The time & days are just flying by for me lately. Where I live, it is just now fall. And Thanksgiving is in 3 days! Last week we were wearing shorts & sandals!

No before you all say, "Well I would love to live there!" , let me tell you...no you wouldn't. It is uber expensive to live here, the Summers last forever with Santa Ana winds all year long, dry weather, fires, mudslides (if it even rains)...I hate it! I want to live some place that has more than 2 seasons. I would like to make a snowman in the yard at Christmastime. I would like to see the leaves change in the Fall. But I digress...

The question for today is to introduce you all to my family by showing pictures of Christmases past...so here you go. Enjoy!

Our 1st Christmas as a family, 2005
Rowan was 9 mos. old
(Check out my boots! I love those boots.)

Yeah, I went a little crazy with the pictures that year, but it was her 1st...

This is my favorite picture. I even made it into a Christmas ornament.

The photographer took this picture on her own, but I am glad that she did.
How cute is she??

My husband's favorite picture from that year.
He got her to stand just long enough for this to be snapped.
Ro was already taking her 1st "all by herself" steps by then! My smart girl!!
