Take a Ride

Overboard

Ok, so nobody fell overboard...although there are times where I worry about both John and Grace as they start to climb up the back of my furniture. Do you think it is ok if I swat them like I would a cat? No, they really aren't that bad...anymore. :)

Willing to Pose

Oh yeah! The frown is a pure pose. Where does this girl come up with these poses?

Too Cute!

Pure Anger

Yeah, can you tell I didn't pick him up like he wanted? Life is, after all...all about John. Don't worry! I picked him up as soon as I took his picture a couple of times. :)

Surprise!

Our kitchen set for the girls. How quaint!

Oh wait! What's for supper tonight? Stinker pot!

Yeah, you don't quite fit anymore.

Christmas 2010

Since the Dunnucks and both sets of Tuckers were going to be at Thanksgiving this year, we just decided to make a family ordeal out of it and head to Lafayette and take care of Christmas. This is the first time that the kids have really had a chance to interact and they did well. It was a good time and I think everyone involved can smile about our Christmas this year. :)

The girls! Abigayle, Keira, Libby and Grace.

The babies! Keira and John.

The almost birthday twins...12 months and a few days apart. Brenton and Grace.

The oldest children. Grant and Libby.

Yea for presents!

What am I supposed to do with this stuff?

Sweet Brenton sitting on Grandpa's lap while all six other grandchildren (kind of...not Keira and John) were tearing wrapping paper off multiple presents at once.

Grace's pretty cool doll!

My Sleepy Heads!

This one I never expected in a million years! That is part of the reason we went with bunk beds. I didn't think they would sleep in the same bed. They did both nights without a problem though.

Thanksgiving in Mentone

Isn't that so cute? He looks like he's waving to the camera!

Grandpa with his big boy.

Grandma and Grandpa Tucker and their tribe of grandkids.

This is Miss Emmalynn meeting John for the first time. She is the daughter of some dear friends of ours. I was quite impressed with how mesmerized she was with John. Most 9 month olds aren't this fascinated with other people. She's quite a special little girl!

Trip to Indiana!

I know old news...but you'll have that. :) We headed out at about 5:00 am on Thanksgiving morning for Indiana. The kids did really well until about the last hour and a half of the trip. Then, we hit the doldrums. Luckily, Chris had left the camera up front in the car, so we just had fun taking random pictures for the rest of the trip. I would put some space between clicking the camera so that I could egg it for time and make the kids anticipate when I was going to pull it out and which one of them I was going to take a picture of. It worked! Here is a sampling of the 35 crazy pictures we got. :)
