I don't know what's going on with photobucket and my pictures and why Blogger doesn't want to display them right. I will figure it out though!

Family pictures and Christmas pictures <----


I think some of these are from New Year's Eve and the rest from New Year's Day. We did the gingerbread houses on New Year's Day after eating too much food. The others are from Cabela's, a hunting/outdoor store that everyone had to go to. They have massive displays of stuffed animals including a WHITE RHINO. Yes, that's right, someone at some point in time killed, stuffed, and mounted a white rhino. And donated it to Cabela's to be displayed. *sighs* I will never understand big game hunters. Anyway!

Are you tired of pictures yet?




Tim is telling Savino all about the animals



My guys.



Hello dead stuffed elephant!



Savino thought it was pretty cool at least



I don't remember what she was saying to me



Focus shift! Hi Virginia!





Savino is ready to "help" with the candy for the gingerbread houses



"Just give it to me mom. I'll do it"



My brother Alex is oddly very meticulous about his decorating



I tried to convince Tim to help, he ended up just advising my sister on how to destroy her house



Alex is very into this



So is Haley!



View of Alex's house



Virginia's house was broken so she capitalized on that and made a Suicide Bomber house



I thought her house was the best, the most interesting! She had INTESTINES! Made out of gummy krabby patties!



View of mine. I lost steam on it and just went "whatever"



Her suicide bomber had hot sauce blood everywhere. Her and Tim were getting seriously inappropriate with it! It was funny!



It also had a septic tank overflow in the back made of raisins and Tootsie Rolls



I think this was my end result



That's it! Whew! Pictures!

Family Pictures

Christmas and family fun pictures <---

From the formal portraits I did for us. Some of them came out OK. Some of them not to my standard, but a retake isn't possible until this summer, so we'll make do!

My little sister and I. I was clutching her hehe



My sister and my two brothers



Mom and my sister



I am 99% sure I said something that made them laugh



I lovelove this picture



I posted this one the other day. I still love it!



All of us, taken by remote! I was making some awful face in 90% of the pictures, I don't know if it was a squint or what. I am not thrilled with how these turned out, but it's almost impossible to get all of us in the same state, so this will have to do!



This picture about sums my brothers up PERFECTLY



Yeah, they are bad.



I haven't gotten to doing these in black and white yet and I am still working on the colour of these. There is something I don't like about them yet.



My mom, trying hard not to look cold!



Alex, he wants to be a federal marshal one day



The Prison Homie picture. I love it. They came up with this all on their own!



Daniel. He is the baby of the family!




That's all I have of those for now. I am still working on them.

More to come!

If you have dial-up... I am so sorry. No really. Upgrade. You're worth it! I have just a ridic. amount of pictures here. I am going to try to do this in some sort of order. If I get screwed up, sorry!

Christmas Day




Haley got a hat in her stocking. Yay!



So what if it's 8am? Ritz crackers anytime! Hey, they stopped him from screaming for the candy from his stocking.



Savino is laughing at my brother, I am sure. Or my Mom. It's hard to tell with those two.



My brother Daniel says, "Remove the camera from my face OR DIE."



Tim was much nicer to me and let me take a nice picture of him. Merry Christmas Tim!



Savino is enjoying the new kids trampoline!



Tim is enjoying his new guitar!



Mom is enjoying a nap and Daniel isn't too far behind her.



The 28th? That's what the time stamp says!



Haley is running because she was getting snow balls lobbed at her!



She is in heaven, btw, with her Uncle Daniel tormenting her in the snow.



Fun fact about my brother... he threw the shotput in high school track and field. So he is showing off his impressive form in throwing snow at my daughter.



Yes, there was snow!



And this is what happens when Florida people meet snow! HE IS IN SHORTS. AND HIGHTOPS. NOT RIGHT.



December 29th, my brother Alex and sister Virginia arrive to join us for a few days. Immediately entranced by snow.



As soon as they got to my house everyone bundled up, my sister borrowed boots (she crazily brought a pair of Croc maryjanes. FOR THE SNOW IN OHIO. I know.) and a coat and we went outside. Snow fun! That's my brother Alex.



Haley was convinced there was enough snow to sled so I let her give it a go.



My sister was experimenting with making a snow ball (the snow wasn't wet enough though)



What do people from Florida do in the snow? Lay down and make snow angels!



I have to give it to her though, she committed to that snow angel. She has good snow angel form!



Virginia's snow angel. I have to say, I was impressed!



She is so beautiful. I think my sister is gorgeous. She is totally about to nail my daughter with a snow ball too.



Haley is an old hand at this snow thing



See? The snow just didn't want to hold together



My sister sneaks up on Alex and puts snow down his shirt.



I guess it was a little cold!



They lasted about 30 or 40 minutes out there, not bad for Southerners!



Alex got in one of the last snowballs.



December 30th, evening




My mom did a lot of stitching while she was here. (Well, she owns a cross stitch shop. Go figure)



My brothers got themselves some matching aviators. Nice.



My sister is trying to figure out the rules to the game "Battle of the Sexes" (I think the guys won. Barely.)



The blue tint is from whatever was on TV



Savino was enjoying just hanging out.




The End! For now! Family portraits next!
