Christmas 2011

We had an amazing Christmas this year- we are so blessed with so many wonderful family members  that we love so very much- and they even love us in return!  I will post a separate post about our little Dowell Christmas, but these are photos (and hopefully a few videos, if they upload!) from our Christmases with The Dowell Fam, The Purdy (& Anderson) Gang, and The Mobley Clan.  They kind of go in reverse order than the actual events.

I didn't get any pictures from my mom's house because I had a near-migraine headache, and operating a camera might have pushed me over the edge.  I also didn't get any from MorMor's house, so I pirated all of hers off of Facebook!!! :)  I managed to get a few with Grams and Papa.  

Uncle Christian is fighting some esophagus issues (stupidest organ of the body), so he wasn't able to make Christmas this year.  :(  But, we still received his lottery tickets, and I *almost* won $500!!  
This "Elephant Sweater" was actually hand- knitted by MorMor for our family Christmas in 1987!!!  That means I had just turned 5- I *think* this is my cousin Ricky's sweater, instead of mine (he'd have been 2).  I need to scrape up some pictures from that Christmas- the ENTIRE family wore one.  And I mean EVERYONE!

Dax in his annual "money hat!"  MorMor hand knitted everyone's.

This is when I realized after shouting "I WON $500!!", I had, in fact, NOT won $500.  Bahahahahahaa!

And these videos are mostly from Grams and Papa's night- I'm sorry everyone else for being lazy!  I was just enjoying your company too much to worry about filming! :)

Happy Birthday Uncle Jew!

Uncle Drew (my brother), or Jew as Ada used to call him and has begun to stick... turned TWENTY yesterday! I can't believe it. Drew: I'm so proud of you! You've had some major obstacles in your life that you have not only overcome; but come out a bigger, better guy. (I'm sorry, even though you're twenty now, I just can't call you a "man." Probably never will.) Here are some pictures of his family birthday party! (I don't even want to know what his birthday party with his friends looked like...)

First of all, here is a picture of Drew when he's about 6: (wasn't he adorable!? He drove me CRAZY but I still thought he was the cutest kid I'd ever seen.. so that says a lot!)

And here he is today: gettin' too big!

The fam at Oriental Gardens, Drew's favorite restaurant in the entire world. Seriously.

It's Drew's birthday, but of course it was all about Ada! Here she is lovin' on everyone.

She entertained herself (and us) for hours playing in the curtains. They were capes. They were blankies for her butterfly. They were veils. They were curtains.

Ada ate only fortune cookies for lunch. Here she is reading one of her six fortunes:
