Warning this one is photo heavy. Greg recently bought a new lens and then for Christmas my mom and dad got him lighting and backdrops. Greg is in photography heaven, if only he could get his subjects to work with him :) We drove out to my parents house in Bullard, TX this year for Christmas. The kids were amazing on our 12.5 hour family road trip (each way)! The only fussing was from Andrew, who kind of lost it the last hour each way. Can you really blame him? Audrey was happy as long as TinkerBell or Cinderella was playing. We did talk her into some Elmo for Andrew, but she wasn't very happy about it. We arrived at mom and dad's Christmas Eve night around dinner time. And then my brother, Lance, drove down from Kansas City Christmas day. It was so wonderful to be all together, that really doesn't happen often since we are all so spread out. My 86 year old Granny Grump was there too (mom and dad drove her down from Amarillo, TX the week before, an 8 hour drive). This was her first time meeting Andrew and let me tell you the two were in love! Audrey wasn't so much in love with Granny's dog KD, a pretty much worthless maltese. I know that sounds horrible but this dog really is worthless to everyone but Granny! She hand feeds it, if that tells you anything. So we didn't do much of anything except hang out, eat (a lot), and open presents. It was Great! Thanks so much for everything mom and dad we always have such a wonderful time, wish we could come more often!!
Mom (Gigi) and Audrey in their matching aprons. Moms says "Holiday Hostess" and Audrey's says "Hostess in Training". How cute! Audrey of course Loved helping Gigi in the kitchen.
Andrew and I were helping Greg with some test shots that turned out pretty cute.
Seriously, does it get any cuter then a chubby baby in a Santa hat?!?!
Lance and Stacey's gift from Audrey and Andrew. We were all sad that Aunt Stacey couldn't come down this year. Hopefully we will see her very soon in 2011! Andrew still needs to meet his Birthday twin!
Audrey and I just chillin', if I had my guess we were watching Cinderella ;)
So serious!Then we moved on to try and get some group family shots and some single portraits with Greg's new set up. These are what we came up with. Hard to get a "perfect" one with so many people and young kids. I still love them and think they capture our personalities. Note: my dad does not like participating in photos so that is why you only see him in one :(

I love all the pictures! Especially the ones of the kids and the ones of your grandma! It looks like Christmas was really special. I thought saying the dog was worthless was some expression but that's just really what you meant - too funny! I'm sure the dog really loves being around your grandma! Did Greg take the picture of the tree at the top of your page, too?
Great pictures!!
We had a great time, so happy you could come! Photos are great I will need copies!!
thanks guys! Yes, Greg took the tree picture too. From a ranch near my parents house. Mom, copies will be sent to you soon ;)
Awesome pictures! Seriously, when can I set up my appointment?
Andrew in the Santa hat is soooo adorable.
