** Easter Sunday **

Where have I been for almost 2 months?? Facebook. Seriously. I have been posting most of my photos there. This is a photo of our family from Easter Sunday. Look familiar? That's because it is the EXACT same pose - just different clothes and porch swing - than our Sunday before Christmas photo! This time baby Ella is looking at all the people jumping up and down behind the camera trying to get all three kid's attention forward.

** My New Favorite of All Three **

All three kids usually wind up in our bed by 5:30/6:00 am. I took this picture today. I had to use the flash (since it was before 7:00am!!)

I just love this picture and the memories it will bring for years to come of all three babies loving and laughing and singing "The Good Morning"song to each other.

** Night Night Stories **

After I gave Ella a bath the other night, JB decided he wanted to read her a few stories before she went to bed. How sweet are these pictures?

In case you are wondering what Ella has on her head, she is wearing her hooded flower towel.

** A Snowy Day **

We got about 5-6 inches of snow. The boys absolutely LOVED playing in the white stuff. I could hardly get them to come back in the house!!

The photo of Miss Ella was actually taken on our second outing after we had come back in. I had her snuggled up next to me in her sling (so it was a little hard for me to photograph her outside.)

BTW, Ella was literally a Snow Bunny. Since I didn't have a one piece winter suit for her, she is wearing a Bunny Halloween costume I had bought at Walmart!

** Santa Photo **

This photo with Santa was taken at the Old Barn at the Biltmore house in Asheville. This was the first year that at least one child wasn't screaming! I take that back, last year neither boy screamed because they wouldn't get close enough to Santa! The only photos I have from last year are from each boy with their back facing the camera and at least 4 feet between them and the Jolly Fellow.

This year, Jeff and I had to sit with them, but that's ok. It was so sweet to be right beside JB and hear him repeat "Racecar, Racecar, Racecar..." If he said it once, he said it a hundred times in the few minutes we spent with Santa. :-) Jackson let Santa know that he wanted "The Marble Game." Ever heard of the marble game? Neither had we. Santa pulled thru though and brought Jackson exactly what he wanted. And of course JB got lots of racecars!

** Merry Christmas from the Abercrombies **

We took this after church the Sunday before Christmas when we were all dressed up and not yet too tired. Mr. JB wasn't cooperative at first until I let him help me push the button for the self-timer. Oh yeah, he AND his brother absolutely HAD to hold their Polar Express Trains or the photo was NOT going to happen. More on the P.E. later.

** Thanksgiving Hayride **

My husband's family took a Thanksgiving Day Hayride. The rain held back so we were able to enjoy a long ride with Hot Cocoa and treats half way thru the ride. Miss Ella stayed back at the house with Jeff's mom. It was a little too cold and damp for the two ladies.
