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!

Couple weeks ago I had the honor of being a bridesmaid to my friend's wedding. Her wedding was absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad that I got the chance to be part of her special day. I have known the bride since college and she's has always been there for me when I needed someone to talk to. After 7 years together with her bf, so glad to see the beautiful couple tied the knot! Some photos were taken by me and a lot of them were taken by my friend since I was in the wedding.  So glad she trusted me to do her makeup for her. She looked so beautiful in her traditional Vietnamese dress. Love this picture of Bride's grandma. I told her to give me sexy and she sure gave me sexy ;) Kaylee chilling at the ceremony. via Reistroffer Design Every little details was simply perfect. So happy for you my friend!  Hope you had a great weekend, Hubby, Kaylee and I did a mini photoshoot for the Christmas Card this year. Cant wait to share them! Happy Monda

at 9 Months I can finally announce Kaylee is sleeping in her crib! (happy dance) Well it has only been 5 nights but it's better each night. We (ok I) must learn to not run to her each time she cries or want to be held. On the first night we put her in the crib, she cried on and off for a good hour and then finally stopped. I went into the nursery to check up on her and saw that she was sleeping standing up! yes..sleeping standing up! Silly baby. Thank you so so much everyone who had clicked on the site . Even if I don't win, just knowing everyone who clicked on it really warms my heart and appreciated deeply. I am at number 13 right now! Contest ends December 29. Hope you have a great Wednesday!!
