Family Pictures - November 2010

Christmas Cards

We took family pictures yesterday at Grandma and Grandpa Oakley's house. I will post them soon. I plan to use the pictures for our Christmas cards. In the past (when we have done pictures at all) we have just sent 4x6 photos, but this year I plan to get our Christmas cards from Shutterfly. They have folded and flat Christmas cards as well as all their other prints and photo gifts. I love that they have so many different cards to choose from; the cards let you put in various amounts of photos depending on which card you choose. My two favorite folded cards right now are Joy Magic Story Christmas and Classic Snowflakes Christmas. I think my favorite flat cards are Snowflake Reflections Cocoa Christmas Card and Snow Flurries Scarlet Christmas Card. They have so many to choose from that I am having a very hard time deciding. I also don’t know whether to do the photos in color or to do them in black and white. What do you think?

Won / One

A few days ago, Brennan and Daddy were racing up the stairs. Brennan beat Daddy to the top, so Daddy said, "You won!" Brennan looked at him and said, "Branton ONE, me TWO!" :)

Playing with Daddy

These are some pictures of Brennan and Branton playing with Daddy last night. They love riding Horsey Daddy and wrestling.

Buzz and Woody!

Brennan and Branton are going to be Buzz and Woody from Toy Story this year for Halloween. A big thank you to Aunt Krista for taking these adorable pictures!

Baby Boy #3 has a name!

We plan to name our baby Brody Collin Douglas. We have been deciding between a couple different names, and Brody is by far Brennan's favorite. We expect to meet Brody at the end of February.
