Fabulous Friday: Family Photo Edition

We recently took family photos with Clint's family. It was a cool 108-110 that day, thank goodness we had some cloud cover! It's always fun to get a little "fixed-up" & snap some photos for fun. Here's a little sneak peak...I don't want to post my favorite ones of Clint & I just in case they end up being the selection for our Christmas card this year!

The whole crew L-R (kinda in a zig zag): Clint, Heather, Trevor, Whitley, Meghan, Eva, Brad, Tyson, Elise, Justin, Michelle, Leanne, Amy, Mike, Beckham, Lanette & Doug

 

 

Awe! We were told to gaze into each others eyes...lol! I'm bummed you can't see how awesome my make-up turned out that day...sometimes I amaze myself! And my amazing hair, it's a product of my ever so talented sis Chelsea!

 

  These are our nieces & nephews with Clint's parents! They are all such cuties. Beckham (the little stud on the right) found out today he's going to get a baby brother in December! We're thrilled  for another bambino addition to family, hopefully there will be many more coming in the next year! And little baby Eva with Nana ...well, she's my birthday buddy!

It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year...

  Enjoy these RELICS...HAHA! These photos are of our 1st Christmas together, 8 years ago!

Clint gave me this beautiful necklace, I used to wear it everyday but not so much anymore because it's so short. 
However, I ALWAYS wear it on Christmas!!

I gave Clint the Mr. Potato Head Silly Suitcase...knowing him now, he probably already had it & was just trying to be sweet because he knew how excited I was to give it to him! He's STILL collecting them today, LOVE it!

We, at the Miner household LOVE Christmas! We've had an enjoyable month filled with family, friends & fun. We started out crazy busy but have finally slowed to an enjoyable pace this past week, busy but managable! We've been busy "making spirits bright" as best we could & look forward to the joy & excitment of Christmas day. We have been truly blessed this year & are so grateful for the greatest gift of all, our Savior & for the sacrafice he made on our behalf. We hope you all have a blessed & memorable Christmas shared with those most dear to you. 

Merrily, 

Clint & Heather

p.s- we really miss the munchkins below this year!

Miss. Brooklyn was SO proud of herself for adding the ribbon!

Well hello there!

I can't believe we're taking 4 little kids on a trail through a swamp...scary!

Down in the swamp

Tyler snapped this photo of Clint at the end of the swamp, we've got a budding photographer on our hands folks!

She's really not sure she want's to be in the swamp... I second that Halle Kate!

I don't think I've ever seen bigger bugs then when we were down in this swamp!

A REAL LIVE SWAMP!!!

This is one of the Gators Ty & Clint saw at the end of the trail.

Ty-man at the end of the swamp trail!

Can you see the alligator? The head is facing the bottom of the photo.

The nest few are of CJ...I know, there are a lot of him! He's kinda my favorite!! I fully admit it, those big brown eyes had me at hello!

Well hello! This is the only picture we snapped the entire trip of just me, good thing it's a cute one! lol

We love the moss covered trees in the south.
