Thomson Family Pictures

The last time my family got a picture taken was back in 2005, and that was only because it was taken at Erin and Rob's wedding.  To find a family picture of us taken before that, you would have to go back to when I was just leaving junior high.  So, you can understand how tickled I am to be able to show these pictures to you.  These were a long time comin'.  I whispered to my Mom's ear that maybe we should take a picture Thanksgiving morning, since we will all be around for Thanksgiving anyway, and tada..pictures!!

I love this of my parents and siblings.  I am not exaggerating to say that you are looking at my most favorite people in the world (as well as my husband and kids of course).  I don't know what I did to deserve such a loving family. 

My brother and my sisters.  Aren't we a handsome bunch? 

My cute mama and the girls.  If you swap out our hair color, I think we all look a lot alike.  I love these ladies.

Mom and Dad. Aren't they cute too?:)

Such a good pic of "J" and my Dad. 

Grandpa B with the little boys. 

Grandma and her cute little girls.

My little family.  It turned out pretty cute.

And last but not least, Grandma and Grandpa with the kids.

Festive

Thanks to the long holiday weekend, we had time to get our Christmas decor out.  Every time I do, it makes me realize how little I have, but that's okay.  The kids enjoy it, and that's what matters, right?  This year we pulled out our fake pre-lit tree that we have used for a few years only to find that the whole top and bottom sections of lights on the tree were not working.  It looked horrible, but somehow I was able to talk Chad into getting a real tree this year.  It made me so happy to help set the tree up, and smell the pine.  It reminded me of Christmas when I was a kid.   Me and the kids also had fun decorating it last night, even though somehow we had glitter everywhere when we were done. 

Stragglers

My lack of posts lately is more of not having anything to post of, rather than being too busy or lazy.  But, in looking over my pictures that I have accumulated over the last year on my iPhone, I found a few stragglers, if you will, that I would like to post.  I also just got this cool app that lets me makes these frames with my pictures (thanks Amanda) and I wanted to try it out...so fun.

I am sure you can imagine, but my kids like to take pictures with my phone, and constantly I am finding the evidence. I bet you can't guess who took these?

And these?

A certain mister was also caught when he was supposedly just playing a game.

Last but not least... I had to post these hilarious pictures we took of the kids with the "iFaceFat" app earlier this year.  We all got a good chuckle out of them. Ha ha ha..:)

Trick or Treat!

I was able to snap a few pictures of the kids before we left for trick or treating.  I think they turned out pretty cute this year.  Keaton is a zombie, Jack is the horse, (which now all of my boys have worn at that age), Sam is a vampire and Emmi is a witch.

The horse did not want to sit still for a picture but I just had to, he was too cute.  I am kicking myself that I did not get a picture of him in his costume from behind because it makes me giggle... maybe I still will.

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!
