Christmas Decorations

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Kevin and I decorated our Christmas tree over the weekend.  It is interesting how Christmas trees become a history book for your family and all the fun memories you’ve had over the years.

Kevin proposed to me at Christmas time.  He asked me to go Christmas tree shopping with him and after we put the tree up, he proposed.  One of our friends at the Christmas tree farm had cut off the bottom of our tree and wrote on it.  It is one of my favorite ornaments every year because of the sweet memories of that day.

We love this ornament because it’s very pretty but also because it celebrates the birth of Jesus and the wonderful gift His life on earth has brought to so many people.

This is not one of our most pretty ornaments.  Kevin and I were both born in the same year and our mothers both just happened to buy the same ornament to remember it.

This ornament signified Kevin and mine’s first Christmas together as a married couple.

I think this brand of ornaments is the cutest ones on the market.  I love them.

We call this the Jingle Bell.  It spins like a Disco Ball.  It’s a lot of fun.

As we decorated the tree, we broke two ornaments by mistake.  This one was only broken a little on the back but Kevin wanted to document Frosty breaking entirely.  He took this with only one photo.  I’m glad the snowman didn’t have any sentimental value.

We hope as you decorate your Christmas tree with your family, you have fun reminiscing also.  I’m looking forward to looking at our tree in 5 or 10 years and seeing how many other memories hang from our tree.

Zack, Mandy, Vincent and Lila

In October, we photographed this family’s photos in their home.  Vincent and Lila are in our kids club, the Grins and Giggles Club so we’ll have fun watching them grow over the next 2 years.  Vincent is one of the most photogenic children we’ve ever seen and Lila is so adorable.  We photographed the children playing in their backyard.

Zack was throwing a football to Vincent.

Kevin and I love this photo.  We think it looks like a children’s clothing ad.  Did I mention how cute Vincent is?

Lila made such cute expressions for us.  I love how with babies they change so quickly so something they may do something new for a couple of weeks and then they move onto to some other new discovery.  For this session, Lila’s cute new trick was sticking out her tongue.  Can’t wait to see what new thing she’s doing for the next session.

This was my favorite photo I took at their session.  The Bunkers ordered a wall portrait set of 3 photos in fun colorful frames with this photo included.  Can’t wait to hang it on their wall for them in a couple of weeks.

Such a sweet moment.

This was ours and Zack and Mandy’s favorite family photo.  I love how Lila is looking up to her big brother.   Also want to give props to their dog, Deacon.  He posed for us wherever we laid him.  He is a very sweet, easy going dog.  He’s been one of our favorite dogs to photograph.  This photo is another one that is going to be in their wall portrait set.

I love this little shy look.  Zack and Mandy, we laughed so much during your session and just fell in love with your kids.  We’re looking forward to another session with them in a couple of months.  What is everyone’s favorite photo from this session?
