TWAS' THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS......

Checking out the neighbors bright lights! ugh!! (don't get me wrong, i love lights)

Making sure the reindeer are fed!

Is It....could it be.... Santa's reindeer?? Oh, nope..... just some wild turkeys!

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse....

I'm so far behind!!

With the ice storm that reeked havoc on so many of us, we were without power for almost 5 days, and 3 out of the 5 of us got the flu during the power outage! ugh!!
when the power returned it was my turn to experience the oh so wonderful stomach flu! So needless to say, i'm feeling a bit, no that's not the right word, extremely behind on everything!!! shopping, decorating, baking, all of it, but i am so grateful to my fiends and family for helping us out with the use of their homes, showers and meals during it all! we were so blessed, isn't that what the holidays are really all about?

Fun session...

I did this dad and his daughter about a month ago, but haven't had a chance to post in a while, they were so fun, then they picked out the one of her by herself for their christmas cards, the one with the hat on, so cute!

My christmas card

I had a plan in my head of what i wanted to do for a christmas card, so i got the kids ready on a whim, threw some clothes at them and told them we were doing photos!
NO!!!! they complained, they whined, they moved in slow motion.... i actually had to bribe them with something, but i couldn't even tell you what that was, it has slipped my mind! Well, what i had in mind for a card went right out the window, they (my kids) had other plans, so here is my christmas card, they wanted it to be fun instead of posed and boring like their mom was going to do. then i asked my friend kelly if she had any ideas for a card template,(she's a photographer too) something to go with the whole peace thing, and this is what we came up with. thanks kel!

some more images of them, after all they were in a cooperating mood!! LOL!
