Bad Momma...again!

So once again, the story of my life, I have neglected our blog lately. Some would say I have been a "Bad Momma"! Here I go again making my "attempt" to catch up (with 2 blog posts). I find in general that I just do not take as many pictures, it must be the three kids holding me up!!

In October, we had a cowboy extravaganza! It was indeed our little cowgirl's birthday (#4). To know Jill is to know she is obsessed with horses. So we went with it and had a cowgirl party. It was just family but that was nice after just having a baby.





More presents please!



She loved the gloves that Auntie Jaycie and Uncle Brady gave her.




Jensen doing his own thing!




Then we had Halloween. Jill had been plotting and plotting all year long as to what our family could be. She finally settled on her being Jasmine, Russ being Aladdin, Jensen being Abu, and she told me that I could just be a "regular person". You see where I rank on the list!!


Russ and our little pumpkin Jack.



Abu/Jensen



I was the bride of Frankenstien. Jaycie was a lovely Princess, Jill loved it!




Jasmine on her way to school.



Jill loved her outfit that Grandma Jayne made her.




Hey Santa!



Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Fryer's (Russ' Grandparents) house and had a great get together. It was fun to just be together as a family. It is a growing family at that. This year the Gray's have added two babies, Jack & Joelle (due in February) and Lisa, Brent's fiance. How fun!
Our sister-in-law Sara wanted everyone to sleepover and our house, well some did. We had a blast. We started a new tradition by doing "Fun"due on Christmas Eve. Loved it!
Christmas morning everyone was over and the kids went to town. It was a fun and relaxing day. We are so blessed and are thankful to be together as a family. Here's to a great 2011 and let's hope there are no new babies at the Gray house!!!!!!
This is the best a family picture gets with three kids.


For the Christmas pagant Jill insisted on being Mary. Being a good sport Russ agreed to be Joseph.


Jack was Baby Jesus.

Jensen loved the show!


He was nervious of this Santa... it was Great Grandpa Fryer.

Jill was all about a present!


Then Santa came to our house on Christmas Eve to drop off our PJ's... guess who?!

My mom-in-law made all of us matching PJ's with our names in accrosstic poem style.... Jordan got mine by accident!
