First Picture With Santa

Here is Aiden's first picture with Santa. This is the first picture we have of any of our kids with Santa. Our first two kids were both 1 at their first christmas picture, and at that age they were too scared of him. Emmalee is now 6 and is still tariffed, and Bradley this year we thought would be fine but once he saw Emmalee's reaction decided to freak out too. Hopefully next year we can get one with all the kids and Santa. I guess this will have to do for now.

Gingerbread Houses

On Sunday we went to my parents home for turkey stew(yum), and made our gingerbread houses. We do this every year, and always have so much fun doing it. This year my mom made small ones or the kids, they had a blast making them. I love the holidays and all the traditions our family has. I look forward to them every year. I love Spending time with my family.

Bradley and his house

(Brian had fun helping).

Emmalee was so proud that

she made hers all by her self

with out any help.

Here we all are in front of our homes. The big one was mine, it took me a long time to make, I had to feed Aiden, so it took twice as long, but it was still fun.

Photo Shoot

On Sunday my sister and her husband blessed there baby girl Hannah. Brian took the opportunity and took some pictures of Emmalee and Bradley. Here is a sample of what he took.

Aiden Dean Barton

On Saturday November 28th our sweet baby boy cam into the world. He weighed 8 lbs 9 oz, 21 1/2 in long. He is so cute and is a great addition to our family. Bradley loves to shower him with kisses and even baught a dinosaur for him and actually lets Aiden "play with it" he is such a good brother. Emmalee is such a big help and loves to hold Aiden, she is and has always been an awesome big sister. I am so grateful for all of my children, even on the bad days. Here are some pictures of Aiden with his family.

Pumpkin Carving 2009

This year we did our pumpkin carving at our house. My family came over and we had tons of fun together.

In this picture Brian is telling Bradley to put his hand in and pull out all the seeds. As you can tell he wasn't to thrilled. But after a while he did it and had fun doing it.

Emmalee loved this part. I was trying to help her and she got mad because she wanted to do it all on her own.

Here we all are with our pumpkins.

Here we are with my sisters family.

Here are pictures of all of our pumpkins.

Mine and Bradley's

Last here is a video of my nephew Caleb. He is a bit of a neat freak and so he hated digging into the pumpkin because he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

Our New Cousin

As many of you may know my sister Tiffany had her baby on the 21st of October. My kids are always asking non stop if they can hold the baby. They fight over who asked first. So I decited to take some pictures of them together. Here they are. I hope they will love their new baby as much as their new cousin.

Emmalee had been crying

so she is a little blotchy.

Bradley asked to hold

her first and Emmalee got upset.

Bradley always has a

huge smile on his face

when he is holding her.

Princess Ball

Brian and Emmalee went to our stake's Princess Ball on Saturday. Emmalee was so excited. My mom bought the dress and added the selves and the beads around the waist. She also made a matching bow and little tassels for Emmalee's shoes. Brian and Emmalee danced, made crafts and ate yummy treats. I am so glad they had the chance to spend time together. Here are some photos.

Here they are together

This makes them look

so much alike

How Beautiful.
