Christmas 2012

Get ready for picture overload.  Jacqi, Brian, Austin, & Callie were in town, Christmas overload occurred, and I took lots of pictures of it all. :)

This girl will melt your heart in a second:

Such focus:

I think Charlie looks so much like my Grandpa Gonigam.  I would love to see a baby picture of him!

Love for Aunt Jacqi!

Callie & Charlie LOVED each other!

We made several attempts at a good photo of my mom and dad with the kids.  This will have to do. :)

Just like Mommy. :)

This face is AWESOME.

Reese left cookies & milk for Santa & some carrots for the reindeer.

When she woke up on Christmas morning and saw all of the presents, she was SO excited!  Her reaction was priceless.  Every year just keeps getting better!

It took her a few minutes to realize that the stockings were full too.

Reese's gift to Charlie was this glowing seahorse.  He has slept with it every night since & it really seems to soothe him!

She even snuggled the clothes we bought her (which was a nice contrast to chucking them over her head to get to the toys from our other Christmas celebrations).

Daddy bought her DJ Lance, which completes her Yo Gabba Gabba collection. 

She also enjoyed climbing into the boxes after the unwrapping was over.

One of Reese's favorite things is going grocery shopping.  Santa must have known, because he brought her a shopping cart, shopping bags, and a cash register. 

Doesn't my mom look young and gorgeous?  

Sisterly love. <3 p="p">

The Floridians took advantage of the 1/16" of snow that we got prior to their arrival.

Reese and Austin both loved this slinky.  And fought over it frequently. :)

Austin looked ADORABLE in these pajamas with his freshly combed hair.

This guy....MELT.

We also attempted several cousins pictures.  None of them turned out great, but I had to share all of these because Austin's progression is hilarious.

My heart.

And our attempt at setting up the tripod & using the self timer.  Which is why I'm so awkwardly positioned (and probably sweaty from running back and forth so many times).  But it made my mama happy. :)

Charlie's first snowfall.  (The first one that we were home with him for anyways, which is the only one that counts in my mind.)  It was a pretty lame showing of snowflakes, but I had to get a picture of him in it to match this picture of Reese (awwww, vintage Reese!):

Just doing some push ups.  No big deal.

And that's it!  Happy New Year!
