Aunt Cheri's Visit

I just found this unpublished entry tonight - These are some pics of Julie's Aunt Cheri's visit just before Christmas. We miss you Cheri!!! and look forward to your next visit.

Among the activities Cheri thought up to do with Brianna, making Sugar cookies had to be the best! Cuz we got to eat them!!!


We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Cheri and can't wait for the next one!!!

The Family Photo shoot

On the 14th of October, Shayne arranged to have a whole-family photo shoot with the Littrell side of the family. Unfortunately Grandpa could not make it, but we had a good time and the weather was gorgeous. After 2 hours (or more) of walking around Beuss Pond, the guys taking the pics shot over 120 photos. There are way too many to post that turned out amazingly...

Here are some favorites...

The whole group!

---

Getting the Dogs to smile and/or look at the camera was a chore, this one turned out pretty good...

---

I had to crop and post this one - Grandma was thoroughly enjoying herself! Jim was all smiles too. Great Shot.

---

---

Last but not least, Daddy with the first two kids!

It was a really fun time and we did get some great pictures of everybody. Grandma enjoyed herself so much she proposed the idea of a family picnic at the Pond once every couple months.
More chances to take pics!

More B-Day pics

Here is the perfect pic of the birthday girl blowing out the candles. I think she managed without any help!

Mommy and Nanners after opening way too many presents.

Here is Brianna giving the "non-violent" piniata a tug. It had a couple dozen ribbons attached and only one actually released the goodies.

---

After several kids tried, It was finally Kelty who pulled the winning ribbon... with a little help.

There are many more BDay pictures I should post, but I have some other catching up to do, so I'm going to move on to the next one....

Brianna's 3rd B-Day

On Spetember 30th, Brianna turned 3 - it was a couple weeks ago, but what better way to start off the new family blog? The old "Brianna's first year" mini-site is still out there in cyberspace if interested - the link is at the bottom of this entry.

Her birthday party at our house was so fun - so many kids! It could have been much larger but we were really trying to keep this one small! Thanks to everyone who came and to all who gave gifts, we really love being here with the family. Particularly me (Chad) - it's been a long time since I've seen the whole family together in one place at the same time!

And super-big thanks to Jan and Bill for coming down from Montana for Nannie's big day!

If you click the link below to our old page, only the links to Brianna's page and the Family Photos work as we moved back down from Washington a couple weeks after I started the new site. I made it, of course before I knew blog pages were so easy... and FREE.

I'll add more B-Day pictures soon!
