Holiday Cheer
Only nine more sleeps until Santa arrives, and we are soaking it all in while we can! It’s always a little bittersweet for me this time of year- it’s my very favorite and I love every second of the holiday season, but it always seems to go by a little too fast. The forecast calls for a {slight} chance of a white Christmas, and I have my fingers crossed they might be right.
We took these pictures a few weeks ago with Julia for our Christmas card. We had our shoot scheduled for weeks, and I had big plans to head to the beach with this little tree and my crew and take some sunset pictures. The first snowfall, and some hail, threw a wrench in our plans, so Phil quickly set up this little festive situation in our backyard for a VERY quick picture before the baby got too cold. And while it wasn’t what I had originally envisioned, it’s one of my favorite pictures of my little tribe yet.
