Christmas Mini Sessions

This is the first time I have ever done Holiday mini sessions, and it might be the last. There was a huge learning curve this year and I'm pretty sure I'm not finished yet. Anyway this by far is not the best picture for a card but I truly love it. One of the best looking little boys I know. As for the neg;act of the blog, well life has gotten in the way. I'm not ready to call it quits but I am ready to slow down and if that means backing off here then that's what I'll do. So much more to come soon. 

353 & 354 Merry Christmas

353 & 354 Merry Christmas

The time has flown by this year. I can't believe Santa is coming tonight.

Better get to bed after a few photos, the best of tonight's isn't mine, thanks Oma.

This is Regan aka "Dammit Dog" . That's what my Mother In Law told me.

She is a lovely Catahoula I think.

Very sweet girl.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this picture taken by my MIL was poor Santa does he have a clue what he has gotten himself into. My next thought was is this something that you put in the naughty column ?  My final thought was thank heavens I wasn't there when this happened !

Merry Christmas !!!

349&350/365 The Nutcracker

I took Little Mama to see The Nutcracker. It was really sweet for us to get to do this together.

I hadn't taken her for a couple of years because I always consider it my most expensive nap EVER !

I slept through the 1st half this year but was actually really interested in the 2nd half. 

I do wonder if it is the same every year. I mean do they change the scene backdrops? I think these were the same sets as last time I took the kids.

We did get a chance to meet the mouse and one of the little nutcrackers.

I think she really didn't want to have her picture taken with these guys, but I made her anyway.

The Nutcracker was so friendly, it was very interesting.

Our church had the Christmas pagent today.

We were the lucky parents of King Harod:

To me he kind of looks like the Prince in the old version of Robin Hood.

I think it's almost uncanny !!!

We also had a sheep.

Next year he will be a cow.

This year he did really well and behaved beautifully.

Sorry but by far the cutest sheep ever.

 And then there is the star bearer.

Where would we be without this part of the equation?

She eats this up, I'm getting her into drama asap!

We had such a great time at this pagent. The music is great and the kids are amazing.

There are people who work so hard to make this happen and I am so grateful for them.

Merry Christmas !!
