The Colvin cousins at Great Mamaw and Papaw’s house…the couch picture is a tradition. As you can see they need a bigger couch:)
Mamaw goes to great pains to prepare for this special day. This is Joe’s mom with all the kids minus London. She crashed and we weren’t waking her! Thanks Mamaw for preparing the meal and planning for a special day!
This all would not be possible if it weren’t for these two special people. These are Joe’s grandparents, affectionately known as Great Mamaw and Papaw. We love them dearly and are so thankful for their presence in our lives!
I just love this picture. This is my nephew Charlie.
This too is a personal favorite. Sydney has been wanting a cowgirl hat and she got one from Mamaw and Grandad, boy is she sweet:)
The above photos were taken in the movie theater in Texas. We all went to see the movie The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 3D. I strongly recommend this movie in any dimension. Kudos to Disney for doing an excellent job of getting across the message that I believe C.S. Lewis intended! A definite must see!
75 and sunny, yeah we were outside! It was definitely a nice break from the frigid Indiana temps.
The kids insisted on racing one another. To make it fair my dad called out names and you ran when your name was called. I had as much fun watching as they had racing.
My sister’s daughter Peyton (second in line) insisted on starting the races. If any of you knew my sister as a child you are not surprised by this. We humored her and let her have a moment in the limelight, as London didn’t stand a chance against her.
This one was for my dad. He worked to get all the kids on this very climbing- friendly tree. It only took 15-20 pictures to get everyone to look at me….at the same time! Memorable nonetheless. A definite keeper.
Just after we arrived home from the park we heard what sounded like a freight train, the floor seemed to shake and my sister yelled, “Look outside! Daddy’s flying over!” Stepped outside their front door, looked up and saw my brother-in-law doing a little fly over for us. Thanks Ellis, definitely not something we see every day.
We had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a very busy 2011. We’ll be heading east next week to be with the rest of my family. Stay tuned for more on that!
