Hope your Christmas was wonderful , memorable and filled with lots of love !

Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved  { Augusta E. Rundel } Kaylee and I would like to wish you warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year.

I am über excited about Christmas this year mainly because it will be Kaylee's first Christmas. Got all my shopping done and gifts are wrapped! Christmas cards are going out today and stockings are hung. Now just waiting patiently for the snow and Santa to come visit us since we went to his workshop over the weekend to visit him! Last picture made me chuckle! Are you all done with Christmas shopping? Can't believe 5 more days until Christmas!

Last week we had our first holiday family shoot. It was a chilly beautiful day, the husband was terribly sick but managed to smile in the photos. Our friend played photographer  and she did an amazing job! Will be using them for our christmas card this year! We also did a mini photoshoot for Kaylee and will be posting them up soon too! Happy holidays from our family to yours! This year I joined the Cold Hands, Warm Heart Swap hosted by Much Love, Illy and Sandy A La Mode . My swap partner was Jess from Pretty Physicist . She got me blue gloves, scarf and necklace to match with my teal Jacket! Thanks so much Jess! Love them!
