Lila the Little Photographer

Lila watches me take photos all of the time so she wanted to take Eva's and my picture. She actually did a GREAT job and eventually captured one of my favorite photos of Eva and I. Thought I would share some of the good photos and some of the funny one's. There were many more funny photos but not to bore you...



I love this photos! I'm going to use Lila for all of our photo taking from now on.

Matt has Big Pants to Fill

Our friends Matt and Kim recently took over their parents business. Scott wanted to congratulate Matt with a special gift. In this photo Scott giving a speech prior to Matt opening his special gift.

He sure has some big pants to fill now that he's a business owner!

Swimming Fun

Doesn't this look like fun? We went to the Firstenburg Community Center on 12/31 to play in the water. It was soooo much fun. Scott, Lila, Eva and I all went with our friends Matt, Kim and Brody Newcombe. We all swam and played for over an hour. Below is a photo of the fun pool.

Brody and Eva ~ it's a little blurry but still worth posting. Aren't they cute?

Christmas Night at the Shrum's


We spent Christmas night at my parents house and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon with my parents and bother's family. My Grandma Shrum wasn't feeling well so Scott, Lila, Eva, my brother Tony and Morgen went over and caroled outside her house.

My mom started a new tradition...putting the boys to work in the kitchen! In this photo Scott, my dad and my brother.
Eva really enjoyed Christmas dinner. If you've ever watched her eat she gets into her food and this was no exception...she has mashed potato all over her face but the camera didn't capture half of it.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning at our house started around 8:30, late by all accounts. It took us hours to open our presents and honestly we didn't finish opening presents until the 29th. It's not that we had that many gifts but the girls wanted to play with the first present that they opened. It was a delightful morning with lots of fun for our little family.

Our tree all decked out with presents from Santa.

Lila and Eva on Christmas Morning (2 1/2 and 9 months)

Lila got a vacuum for Christmas.
She loves to use her vacuum I only wish I had gotten her a real one.

Lila asked Santa for a cupcake and a bell for Christmas.
Here is a photo of Lila with her jingle bell.

The girls got these beautiful hats from Aunt Lila and Uncle Tom from Michigan. Aren't they cute? Thanks Tom and Lila!
