Christmas 2012

My kids think it is totally normal to celebrate Christmas 4 or 5 times!  We are blessed to have big, loving families to celebrate with.  Here are some of the best moments of the season!

My Visit with Graham

I got a weekend to myself.  Well, kinda, I drove to Philly to hang out with my newest nephew Graham. (Oh and Aaron, Kristen and Everett too!)  Here's some baby shots, too cute to not show off!

 

 

Welcome to the World!

It's a Boy!

First Day of School 2012 - 2013

Look our here come the Williams' boys!

Let's be honest this is the day that kids dread and Mom's love, the first day of school!  This year Aidan is in 4th grade and attending a new school.  He is no longer at Jeffery Primary, he is at Shaler Area Elementary School.  There were a ton of firsts for him this year.  Riding the bus to school, not knowing anyone in his class, having to remember his class schedule, and having to remember his locker combination.  He was excited to go (I on the other hand was very nervous for him).  He is doing great and loves the new school.  WHEW!

 

Little Boy on a Big Bus

Ethan got into the swing of things pretty easily. He started 1st grade this year! I can't believe what a little man he is becoming. He is pretty consistant with saying things like, "I hate school." and "School is boring." He has been saying things like that since he started his school career. I just keep telling him to get used to it, he has a ways to go!  This is typical Ethan.  Luckily he doesn't put up a fight to go to school, or we would have issues. I can't believe how time has flown right by.

 

Here's to a great school year!

 

 

OH and...

 

Pop Pop Anderson was able to see them off this year...

 

 

what a nice surprise!

Fishing

My boys have developed a new passion for worms, all thanks to my Dad.  They have been fishing all over the place.  Ethan pipes up with his choice of spots when asked where they should go.

Such great memories.  Thanks Dad!

Candice and Dave

My beautiful friend Candice got married last weekend and I was lucky enough to play "photographer".  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Here's to many, many years of happiness!  
Love to you both!
