Love, The Garfield Family

Christmas Pictures!

I know it's been a while, but I have a really good excuse! Ok, so no excuse. Not that anyone cares but I do like to pretend people are dying for an update of our exciting lives! The girls and I had our pictures taken last week. My SIL Aspen Garfield (check out her website http://www.aspencreations.net/) is just starting out in the photography business and I volunteered my girls as guinea pigs! I'm glad I did. They turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! Maybe some of you will even get a Christmas card this year. Don't hold your breath though. Here are a few of my favorites:

All the girls

I swear, I don't look that fat in my mirror!


At least one of them looks like me!

Mya's happy face!

Mya's sexy (or don't make me mad) face!

How Mya really felt about having her pictures taken!

Check out that attitude!

Aww, you might even think she was sweet! She really is sweet, you just have to threaten her before she shows you!

So grown up.

Speaking of grown up! Jade thinks she's big!

How did that happen? She's my little girl!

Go away boys!!

Jade

Since my camera is broken and not much is happening at our house, I thought I would post a few pictures taken before my blog existed.

In no particular order:

She makes a perfect devil!

Easter 2007

Noelle sleeping with Barkley and Woofy, her two favorite dogs.

Creepy! She fell asleep in the tub!

She is the craziest sleeper......keep looking and you'll get an idea of what I mean....

...kneeling on the floor...

...on the couch...

...in the car...

...and in the car again (You will see Woofy in most of the sleeping pictures. She doesn't sleep without him!)...

With her daddy on her Baptism Day. January 2008.

Fancy birthday hair for a night on the town!

She was a little bit unhappy about this costume. The hair was just not right. Note the swollen eyes. I had to threaten her to hold still for a picture. Smiling was just too much to ask!

With cousin Zoey at the Shirley's cabin in Bear Lake. Summer 2007.

Ellie is the best cheerleader! She's obsessed with it and she has some serious talent! (Not sure where she got it from. Maybe Ryan. Have you ever seen his high kicks? Ask him to show you next time you see him!)

Grandma Bette made dozens of Disney costumes for Christmas 2006. This is Noelle as Tinkerbell.

Noelle and Jade in the "Wheat and Beat Days" parade. August 2005. They were in a play called "The Granny Awards". (Jade is the one in the background with the extremely sunburned face. Great picture, huh?)

Mya

This picture sums up Mya perfectly. Pajamas, messy hair, a pirate hat, a sword and mom's boots!

Indian Girl. Halloween 2006.

One of the few times Mya has played dress up and actually worn a dress!

Beautiful!

Good birthday, dude!

Doesn't everyone unload the dishwasher in the nude?!
