this year, i told mr. anderson that all i wanted for christmas was to spend a day shopping with him (and only him---well, and maybe olive).
i felt really overwhelmed with trying to think of something that i wanted/needed...and i felt even more overwhelmed with trying to think of something to get mr. anderson for christmas.
i have it hard because his birthday is next week too.
so, i thought we decided on spending a day with each other, picking out some new clothes and maybe doing a little thrift store shopping.
little did i know that mr. anderson decided to really surprise me---and he got me an iPhone.
i had been wanting one (or any smart phone, really) for quite a while, but i was not expecting it at all.
so now, i'm quite obsessed with my phone...it's amazing all that you can do on it.
my #1 obsession? instagram.
a friend gave me her old iPhone a while back, and i've been using that to check my email whilst at home, but i couldn't fully use it because it wasn't my cell phone provider...so, i signed up for instagram a while ago, but wasn't using it to it's full amazing-ness.
now i am!
i'm "theandersoncrew" on there, if you'd like to follow.

moving on---olive turned 3 weeks old on monday.
sister is cute...but starting to get a voice.
i s'pose it was bound to happen sooner or later.
you need a voice to compete in this house.

and last but certainly not least, i got pictures of all the littles on christmas eve.

we will see y'all in 2012.
happy new year!
wow...you are amazing at group shots...your children are beautiful! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour family is beautiful. I read your blog all the time, yet the photos still catch me off guard! Even in these posed pictures, you can tell how much they all love each other. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your iphone. I would like to say I'm above being in love with mine, but I'd be a liar. However, while I love the looks you can get with Instagram, and I like how easy it is to share pictures, it is really, really slow on my phone, so pictures of people always end up blurry. I guess I'll just have to marvel at how cute your kids look in Instagram photos!
geez, they are all so dang cute.
ReplyDeleteyay for iphones and instagram! :)
ReplyDeletelove those photos of all the littles on christmas eve.
love the last photo of them all! Look how proud Elsa is of her new baby sister!
ReplyDeleteAnother great job on the group photos! Everyone looking and smiling at once! (And, of course, they're all adorable!)
ReplyDeletei am so glad you got on instagram. i feel much more connected to you. now if only we could get ashley and hannah on there. actually alex is on there.
ReplyDeletekohen....SLOL

ReplyDeleteyay for an iPhone. i love mine though my husband had to convince me to get it. love the photos-all of them but that last one...wow!!! lovely family:))
ReplyDeletehow fun is instagram!! and as always, loving your family pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the photos and the kids' holiday outfits. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of your 3 little ladies. We struggle with what to buy each other for birthdays as well. So, instead of presents, we do a fun activity together. Really, all I want to do on my birthday is to spend it with my husband so it works out great.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your pictures of your beautiful kids together, they are just so adorable!! I'm glad you got the surprise of an iPhone! Your life will never be the same haha! Glad you had a merry Christmas! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI told my husband for my birthday all I wanted to do was go thrift store shopping/hopping (back in Oct) and it was one of the most fun birthdays ever. We did have Judah in tow but he was a good sport about it.
ReplyDeleteYour going to love IG, its a great community and you'll find some pretty neat mamas on there ;-)
Love love love the pictures!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, congrats on the new iPhone!! My hubby surprised me with one back in May and I've been in love with it ever since. My newest obsession is instagram and I actually just wrote a whole post filled with pictures edited with the glorious ap! Well, I hope all of your kiddos stay healthy throughout the weekend and that you have a fun New Year's Eve! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog, but love it so! :) Happy New Year! I'm sure I'll be around often. xoxo, cat (www.catdmoore.com)
ReplyDeleteHey momma, your family is too dang cute!! As a fellow proud iphone owner may I advise you to download the free app, leme cam! Though there's no community and you can only use pictures taken using the app to create, it's aaaaamazing and you'll be hooked!
ReplyDeletemy husband surprized me with an iPhone too.. and instagram has got me hooked ever since. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
I love the new banner! Cute. I really love the pics of your kids. Great outfits, happy faces. I gave my husband an iphone too and he's equally obsessed, but not with instagram, more with apps like lightsabers, the talking cat and virtual beer. :) I've created a monster.
ReplyDeleteYou have such beautiful children, Emily! All 6 of them are just adorable and have the biggest smiles!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had actually gotten an iphone or were just using your old one! It's so fun! And yes, Jami and Audrey are insta-obsessed. ;)
ReplyDeleteoh I lOVE how Elsa is helping hold the baby! is she in love with the baby? I bet they all are! soooo cute! your kids are beyond adorable, of course you knew that!
ReplyDeleteand yes, me being the youngest of 7, I KNOW how you have to get your own voice, GO OLIVE, yell it out sister!
