Joni’s picks:

• First: 4 Lettre Words

Why Joni chose this photo: “this photo is perfect because it is of a family doing something together. when i think of families i think of the memories created and the sledding in this photo is a memory this family will always remember.  it definitely puts a smile on my face because it reminds me of snow days from my childhood.”

{Being What I Want to Be}

• Third: They Call Me Mama

Why Joni chose this photo: “as if matching christmas pj’s is not cute enough. this photo makes me feel like they have such a close relationship that will grow and stay strong forever.”

{They Call Me Mama}

• Fourth: A Good Life Photos

Why Joni chose this photo: “i love this photo because this is something i do with my children. we love to do puzzles and glue them together. this year when we move to our new home, we are going to frame the puzzles and hang them in our playroom.  once again, family togetherness is so important to me which is why this photo is so special.”

{A Good Life, Photos}

Yeah, I took way too many photos this weekend. 😀 Here you go, enjoy!

{This is a big deal! Ruari NEVER cuddles like this! She’ll do anything if you let her play with your phone or remote. So sweet.}

{Christmas tree.}

{This is Ruari’s favorite ornament to point at on my mom’s tree.}

{Family}

{My brother. This is how he always stands at the window.}

I really hope all of you that celebrate Christmas had a lovely weekend!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (or a wonderful Saturday if you don’t celebrate Christmas). We did! So much fun. I have so many cute baby pictures to share… we’ll see if I can get them ready for tomorrow…

I didn’t take this photo… BUT, it’s my family. Look at my baby and hubby! Same smirk as usual. 😀 Do you like my bra strap? Yeah, me too.

Let’s link up for Steppin’ Out Saturday! You know, since I did get out of my pajamas. 😀

Ruari hasn’t really gotten the whole opening presents thing down just yet…. she sort of shakes them (and herself) back and forth.

My mom has a very pretty white Christmas tree. It’s so glowy! 😀
