it's the most beautiful time of the year...

This post is going to be a little more random... just little shots of things going on in the day to day. And beware, there may even be some iPhone photos mixed in! ;) 

The other day I was checking all my equipment for a Photo Booth I was working, and set up in my office and Emmie was MORE than willing to be my model.  Love this girl and her sweet sweet smile so much. 

Emmie has been super into a few consistent things here lately- drawing her name and other letters- and playing dress up. Usually her dress of choice is Elsa ;) 

and to add to the randomness of this post.. here are some other photos I've taken over the past few weeks- Christmas jammies, Elf on the Shelf shenanigans, Meeting Santa, etc. 

iPhone photo ;) 

iPhone photo- Emmie's first on-stage performance! 

yay it feels so good to catch up! so tell me, what are your plans for Christmas?! 

deck the halls...

This is going to sound cliche' but I am so excited for Christmas this year with Emmie. She is totally starting to understand the whole Christmas thing! Decorating the tree this year was no exception. Although nothing can beat the Christmas Tree reveal from last year - going through all of the ornaments with her this year- making cookies, and handing them on the tree- THE best! 

You have to bake cookies to decorate your Christmas tree... duh!

Some of our special ornaments! On the left- Emmie's very first ornament, Starbucks Mug- where Mike and I first met. The Sunset Beach Vacation Chair- and on the right- the ornament Mike proposed to me with!! 

She was first told she had to wait until we were done with the tree to eat a cookie... but she couldn't wait! 

The finished product... well kinda- we adjusted quite a few ornaments since Emmie made it her mission to put all the ornaments together on three branches! ha. 

Now to catch up with our christmas gift list! yikes.  Have any special ornaments? I want to hear about them!! 

Check out my post on picking out our tree out here- and be sure to check back this week for more Christmas Season Photos! 


it's beginning to look a lot like chrismas...

I have SO many photos from this Christmas season that need to be shared! Phew- I'm finally all caught up on editing my sessions from this year and can start posting some of our family stuff! So you're in luck! We've got 5 days left until Christmas and I plan on sharing ALL sorts of photos of us getting into the Christmas Spirit this week! 

To start us out of our week of Christmas photos, I've got our Christmas tree adventure! We headed out one evening after getting our family photos done (sharing soon!!) to go pick out the perfect tree! We of course stopped for some hot chocolate (or hot and chocolate as Emmie likes to call it! ha) and then drove out to the tree lot. Emmie and Michael loved it so much and looked over each and every tree what seemed like a million times before finally deciding on one.  

 

Do you have any tree traditions? Are you a go cut down your own tree, get it pre-cut from a lot, or set up a fake tree each year?  Be sure to check back tomorrow for our decorating day!
