Growing Kids

Seriously, where has the time gone. My babies are growing up. Since my kids birthdays are only a month apart I have decided to do seperate and combined pictures every year. I like to document every six months to see how they have changed. This picture session went way better than any others we have done. Even though Hannah wasen't smiling (which seems typically for my kids) Evan was actually cooperating, which made life much easier. I had a hard time choosing a few, so here are a bunch.

Annual Davison Christmas Party

On Saturady, Dec. 19th we had our annual Davison Christmas Party at my parents house. Oh what memories I have growing up enjoying our family Christmas Eve Party at my G&G Davison's house. We are now past that time, with Grandma passing and Grandpa living with us, but we still feel the need to keep the tradition alive somehow. Each year the house and day have changed, but having the family all together is what is important. Now that we are grown up it is so fun to see all of our kids enjoy thier cousins as much as we did during the hoilday season.

My Sweet Pea

Playing with her gift from Mckenna. Every year the kids exchange names for a gift to open at the party. Hannah got a puzzel and a book.

Can't get enough Disneyland!

A couple of weeks ago when Scott had a day off we decided to go to Disneyland. Okay, well we didn't decide, I decided for us. Scott was not to thrilled. He said "Haven't we gone enough", but I had to tell him that we must go back to see Small World. I really wanted Evan to be able to ride Small World while it was decorated for Christmas and ever other time we have gone it has been way to busy. So we went just for 2 hours to ride Small World and Buzz Lightyear. We also stopped at tomorrow land to go in the moving building with the newest technology, which by the way was not exciting and will never be entered again by us. The trip was short and we accomplished what I was set out to do. Like usually, I never go without my camera and had to snap a few shots. Enjoy!

COUSINS

Here are all the Bones Grandchildren. This picture was taken in Arizona right after my sister Julie had her baby. Taking a picture of 5 little ones is definitely challenging. This was the best out of 50. My parents are so proud!

Photo Shoot

Most of you have probably received our Christmas Card and saw our family pictures. My brother-in law Shawn has always been into photography and has recently been developing his talent and passion by taking family pictures. He and his family were in town for Thanksgiving and he so generously offered to take our family photo. I knew it was going to be a rough and quick shoot with Evan, so I prepared myself to go with the flow. I just wanted to be able to get 1 family photo. Of course Evan was being difficult, but I am happy to say that Shawn was able to capture quite a few great shots. We are so thankful for Uncle Shawn and his talent and his willingness to take our pictures. Thanks Uncle Shawn!

Hannah Eating

We are still having a hard time trying to get Hannah to eat. She would rather talk, gag and spit it out. I have tried a few different combinations because she does not like the cereal plain, but I know she needs it for the iron. She did eat a little cereal with bananas the other day but still made a lot of gross faces. I know I need to just keep trying each day so that she will figure it out. The other day before I fed her she picked up one of Evan's big sourdough pretzels and sucked all the salt off. She seemed to really like it and would have probably tried to eat it if I let her. This is a quick video of Hannah attempting to eat today.

Love those Eyes and Smile

I always take a ton of pictures and can never decide how to narrow down my choices to one so here are 5 of my sweet baby girl.
