1560 Days

The month of December went by so quickly! Here's what we've been up to…….

December 1st, our first decorations. The end pieces, reindeer, and sleigh were passed down from Grammy, Paw Paw, and Shelley. I love that we have representation of our extended family in the house.

Matching shoes for matching dresses!

Ruby's first pair of shoes.

Family Night at Ari's school

Performing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town."

Attempting a group Christmas photo before going to the mall to see Santa.

The individual photos didn't go much better. First up, Ruby Star! The baby with separation anxiety that causes her to cry when she's not in my arms or touching me in some way, shape, or form. She's also mobile so 90% of the photos I took of her came out blurry.

Next up, Lucy Scarlett! Just turned three years old and with her third birthday, came a desire to be as uncooperative as possible. You wouldn't know it from the photos, but Lucy pouted through most of her photos (see that last group photo). The smiles came after she was promised a lollipop. Nope, I'm not above bribery with this one.

Last, Arianna Solice! Finally, a cooperative child! Ari was all about posing and having her picture taken. She was definitely my favorite that day.

Photo a Day, Day 19- tis the season to….go see Santa!

Santa photos. Lucy was crying because she wanted to go ride the merry-go-round and Ruby was crying because Lucy was crying.

Ru's shoes fell off and she tried to go after them. Ari is laughing at her, Lucy is crying, and Santa is glaring at me as I snap photos. Merry Christmas!

Jon and I

Photo a Day, Day 22- sparkly.

Lucy gave me a gift and Ruby stole it.

All wrapped up!

Stockings stuffed and ready for the kids.

Presents and family!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

WE HOPE THAT YOUR DAY IS SPENT ENJOYING THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES, LAUGHING, AND COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS! 

LOVE,
