A treasure

This picture has to be considered a "treasure". I see my mom often and we never take pictures together, so we took the opportunity at my brother-in-law's open house (Spens & Jess). (...and the black and white outfits were NOT planned).

Just us

We celebrated Christmas early with my parents as they were flying to Miami, to be with my sister and her family for Christmas. So this picture was just us getting a quick snap in front of the tree. I am always looking for opportunities to get us together in a picture. Usually it's me taking pictures of other people at family gatherings...

Annual Cookie Party

Every year, Wally's mom has a Cookie Party, before Chirstmas, for her nieces and nephews and her grandchildren. There is a lot of preparation involved, and baking, and sugar, and sprinkles, and fun! The kids love it and so do we, as we get to eat cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner pretty much.
p.s. My posting didn't go that well as far as putting the pics in the order they were taken, but somewhere in there is the picture of each of the platters my boys got.
Thank you Grandma (Mom Parker) for this fun event every year!

Fishing...

It was Weston's first time fishing, and Wally had not been in a while or Noah. Abuelo bought Weston a fishing pole and he was excited to use it soon. So the boys got invited by a friend to go fishing at their place, so they went. And Weston caught a catfish! They told me he couldn't even believe it. (I heard they fed the fish hot dogs or something, to make them come...) But still, he caught something and was sooo excited! Glad they had fun.

Helping Abuelo decorate for Christmas

Weston and Noah helped Abuelo set up his big nativity outside his home, before Christmas. Wally was helping a friend build his house and I went to my cousin, Jeanine's, baby shower.

The kids love helping out in things.

And of course, they had to get in it for a picture!

And then there's mom, trying to get a good picture with her boys... Not the easiest thing. But we're there together!
