And These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

With the New Year almost upon us I thought it appropriate to close out the holiday season with a look at some of my favorite things...

Trimming the tree with the hubby...




Cute dogs napping in Santa hats...




Bight paper packages wrapped under the tree...

Christmas cards arriving daily...

(Ya'll know you're on my fridge, right?)

Cinnamon scented pine cones...

Wish you could smell these...

Festive holiday socks...

Anything silver and shiny...

I added these to my collection this year...

Anything Snowman...

Stockings hung by the chimney with care...

Next year, you will see, there will be one more there...

And taking it all in...

I hope you enjoyed the holidays as much as I did this year.

Wishing you much love, happiness, peace and prosperity in 2010.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas to me means spending time with the people you love most. Eating good food. Keeping holiday traditions. And making memories. I painted this ornament for Rob at my parents kitchen table for one of our first Christmas's together. And while my painting skills resemble that of a 7 year olds, it's fun to rediscover little treasures like these during the holidays. I hope your Christmas was one you will treasure and remember for years to come. Merry Christmas Everyone :)

Recently my friend Tierra and I tried to do a mini photo session with her (adorable!) daughter Gracie. Let me tell you, this girl is on the move! I think I got more pics of her walking away from me than anything else but luckily I got some good headshots too. Gracie is so cute and always so much fun to be around. Love this girl.

Babies...{Talan}

OK, So I know I went a little (Ok a lot!) overboard here. :) But there were just so many cute ones of this little guy (and his mommmy too!). It's been amazing to watch the little person Talan's grown into over these last 6 months, from a teeny tiny underweight little baby to a glowing, happy, full faced little guy. He is full of life, loves his mommy and is super sweet that's for sure. I hope you enjoy! (PS if they look fuzzy, click to enlarge the pic, these are all low resolution as always)
