Christmas #1 and counting

This past weekend we went to Oklahoma City, OK, and bombarded Chad and Shannan with the whole McClaugherty gang for graduation and a family Christmas. My 3 1/2 year old and 1 year old had tons of fun playing with cousin Luke (4 1/2)...but can you say "baby proof?" Obviously Luke is old enough to not get into things and with a new house, why would you? Tons of fun for me chasing sweet baby C around, picking up things to avoid breaking or spilling. I'm worn out! Chad and Shannan were gracious hosts and we had a fabulous time!

Congratulations to Darin, who graduated with his undergrad in Communications, from Oklahoma Christian. What will he do with that? He already runs a business filming, editing and producing video for all genres, ie. companies, universities, events,etc, and is now sprucing up the photography side to further round out his business. He hopes to work a little and then possibly head to CA to attend USC for a master's in film production. We will see where life takes his talents, but for now Congratulations and yee-haw for no more school!

A few weekend pics....that finally uploaded! Hooray! Thanks Darin for taking the awesome family shots! We took advantage of being all together and did a little family portrait session.
