Christmas Stockings...

It is crazy to just be looking at Christmas photos. It seems like so long ago. Every year before we go to our parents for Christmas, we do our family Christmas, and open our stockings. Absolutely one of my favorite things we do as a family!
 This was my chalkboard for the Christmas Season, and one day while we were eating Mason said, "Hey mom you forgot something on your chalkboard?'..."What?" I asked...." The verse. It is Luke 2:11" I have no idea how he knew that. First that he could read it and then that he remembered the verse. I love a church or preschool that is instilling God's word into his heart!
 We really do have a family of 5!
 Mason's gift for Craig...

Christmas Card Photo Shoot..

I am back to doing one of my favorite things...blogging about our family! After the Christmas holidays, I have been consumed with getting my 2nd wedding edited. I could do nothing extra until it was completed, and now I am done! I am taking February off and only taking pictures of my babies, organizing which I love to do in January, and do some fun crafts I have wanted to do for a long time!
 
This was our photo shoot for our Christmas card. As a photographer, I always have unrealistic expectations of what I am going to capture. If I can capture other peoples kids, I should be able to capture my own! Right? Ha! I left very frustrated thinking I didn't get anything which is absolutely wrong. These are our babies, and I was able to catch exactly who they are at this stage of life. I am thankful for Linda's help other wise I would have not gotten anything at all!

 This will be on Mason's wedding slide show one day... life with two sisters!

 More real life in this one... Micah doesn't like physical touch unless she initiates it.
 Sweet boy loves his baby sister...


 These girls look up to their big brother...
 Micah dropping sticks on Reagan's hair...
 then giving her a kiss. That's about right!
 This is what most of the pictures look like... no one listening to me.
 Reagan is loved!


 Sorry Reagan!

 This girl eats everything... I don't think the sticks tasted very good.

 This is the only way we got her to sit in one spot...puffs.
 I had this vision of a picture with them running towards me and Reagan crawling... yes didn't turned out like I thought but still love it!


 My precious angel!
 Such a sweet smile...


 How is he almost 5? Mason looks so big in the picture...
 Finally a good smile...
 Sometimes the best pictures are not planned. Mason was so done and just wanted to go. This is how he was waiting for me to get done. LOVE this one!
 So thankful for Ms. Linda's help! I couldn't have done it without her!
