Early Christmas

We knew we would be spending Christmas with our families. So we let Parker open his big gifts Christmas Eve morning. That way we didn't have to pack them in the car.

His big gifts were an ATV and dragon.

Dad and Parker getting ready for presents!

This video is so funny. It's like he knew what was going on.

Parker's 1st Birthday!

One year ago, on December 24th, Parker Easton Anderson was born. In just one year our tiny baby has grown into a little boy. He has brought so much happiness, laughter, and entertainment to our lives. I cannot imagine life without him. We are truly blessed to have our little Parker.

He can run, say "Mom, Dad, and No". He waves, sometimes. He laughs and smiles a lot. He already thinks he's hilarious. He likes to get in to everything, like the trash, toilet, kitchen drawers. He has 10 teeth and is growing in two more. He thinks it's funny to bite me and Shane. He is now giving kisses and hugs. When Shane or I call each other he smiles and trys to lay his head on the phone. He eats EVERYTHING and then some. We love our Parker!

Here is Parker on his first birthday.


We celebrated at my parents. He loved the hats and kazoos.

"It's a party. I'm gonna celebrate!"

His first choo choo from Aunt Rachel.

Toy dinosaur from Uncle Nate.

He got this interactive computer that you can hook up to the TV. Thanks Nana and Papa!

Birthday Boy



Happy Birthday! (Sorry for the angle change)

He sure does love that cake!

Parker and Papa.

All done!

Happy first birthday Parker! We love you!

Christmas Morning "Williams Style"

Parker was so cute on Christmas morning with his little penguin pj's.

We spent the night at my family's and had Christmas morning with them. One weird thing about my family: we love our blankets. Before we started opening gifts I looked around and saw all the boys with their blankets. I had to take a video.

Scott with some goodies from the candy store.

Our gift to Scott. A shirt. "If this shirt isn't sweaty then I am not gaming hard enough".

Shirts from Shane. He's really good at picking clothes out for me. I opened those pj bottoms the day before.

We gave Mom a purse.

Dad's "Birth-mas" gift (His birthday is the 29th). A top-of-the-line lap top.


Our gift to him was a gift card to LOWES.

We got Nate a T-shirt too. "Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now."

To be honest, I don't even know what Shane is holding here. But he looks happy about it!
Shane's big giftsthis year: Circular saw, electric razor, and a camera. Hopefully that one has sound for our videos. =)

Rachel got Parker this little puppy. He took it out of my hands and gave it a big hug.

Mom made Rachel this jewelry.

Parker, Nate, and Mom.

I got a lot of bling.

My big gift from Shane this year was a jewelry armoir. I love it!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas With The Pedrazas'

Christmas day we went to Shane's family's house. We had the sibling gift exchange, Christmas dinner, and celebrated Parker and Uncle Ron's birthday. Uncle Ron's birthday is Christmas day!

Jenny, Parker (enjoying Skyler and Lindsay's gift), Maddy, and Uncle Ron.

Cute aviator outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. They also sent a puzzle with musical instruments that make noise when you put the pieces in. Thanks!

Interactive phone. Parker loves this. He's been playing with it non-stop since we've been home.

Card from Great Grandparents Durham. He's waving "thanks"!

Picture of the birthday boys. They're holding a birthday Mickey that plays "Happy Birthday". Parker saw it at Disneyland. He was happy to be reunited.


Some of the gang.

Some of the rest of the gang: Sandy, Pablo, Ron, and Chuck.

Sierra, Toni, Devin, and Sal.

Thanks guys! We had a blast!

Ugly Sweater Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Heather's house. She went all out for the festivities. She rented a bounce house and bought everyone ugly sweaters so we could have an ugly sweater party. The food was so yummy and we all went and saw the new Harry Potter movie. Thanks for such an eventful day Heather!

Our immediate family was joined by Brett's parents, two of his sisters and their families.

Here's a shout out to Grammie. She's one person I know for sure who checks our blog. Sorry for the dry spell. I hope this makes up for it. I took these videos tonight especially for you. We love you Grammie! Love Jenny, Shane and Parker.

So You Think You Can Dance!

A few months ago Heather and I bought tickets to So You Think You Can Dance. We've been anticipating it ever since. We weren't disapointed. It was such a fun experience. I'm glad I was able to share it with my awesome sister.

Heather and I outside the Jobing.com arena.

In front of the stage. We scored seats in the middle section only 16 rows from the stage. We ended up sitting next to Robert's brother who gave us back stage passes. We were so lucky!

Robert was the first dancer we met backstage.

Me and Adechicke.

Dominic. I was trying out my "cool" face. Didn't work out so well.

Heather and Kathryn. Her favorite dancer.

Me and Russel. Season 6 winner.

Robert and Heather.
