Past Christmases (I checked the spelling on that...)

I was inspired by a friend's recent blog post to show some pics from Christmases past. Our family has definitely changed a lot since 2004 and we feel so blessed! The past two years have been especially crazy (with 2 new babies) but we think this year will be the best Christmas yet.
We have so much to be thankful for!
~2004~
So naive to the craziness to come...
~2005~
Still in our clueless bliss... about 1.5 months pregnant with Belle.
~2006~
Ah-ha! A little taste of reality now...
(She was a sweet taste though)

~2007~

Loving life as parents of a sweet little girl!

We were in transition here... trying to sell our home in OK, and living with Blake's parents in TX. So we spent Christmas with Kevin and Kristin.

~2008~
Yeah, we totally have this parenting thing down. 2 years under our belts and 1 month from having Cashe (hence the lack of photos of me...).
~2009~
Wow, maybe we still had a few things to learn! Cashe was definitely his own person and taught us to expect the unexpected;)
And again, I am about 5.5 months pregnant here...
NO, being pregnant is NOT a tradition I plan on celebrating ever again.
~2010~
Perfect!
Having 2 babies in 14 months was a challenge (to say the least), but celebrating a babies first Christmas, 2 years in a row, has been a blast!
