The Making of a Christmas Card

Each year, I love getting Christmas cards with pictures of our family and friends. After the holidays, I save them all and put them in a scrap book. It is fun to look back through the book and see how much everyone has grown and changed over time.

A few years ago, I started taking pictures of Brantley and Alayna for our Christmas card. Each year, it is a challenge to try to get just the right picture. As you can see, this year was no different.

This Fall

This fall both Brantley and Alayna took on new adventures.
Brantley played Upward flag football with his best buddy, Jonah. He was a little disappointed that he wasn't going to wear shoulder pads and a helmet. However, he did love wearing the mouth piece and learning to play the game. He did a great job.
Alayna started taking tap and ballet with her friend, Julia. Alayna watched the "Twelve Dancing Princesses" movie and decided she wanted to dance. She was a little annoyed she could not do splits and twirl the whole hour. She actually had to do the steps they taught her. She loves it now.
