Christmas Morning

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love spending time with my family, decorating, eating way too much, and laughing until your stomach hurts or you pee your pants whichever comes first. Christmas is also one of the best times to have kids. Having little ones around helps to remind me of the magic of Christmas. It has reminded me of not too long ago when I was counting down the days, looking out the window of my car to see all the houses lit up with Christmas lights, building snowmen, and baking cookies with my mom to take to the neighbors.... I have so many wonderful childhood Christmas memories I only hope my children will look back on these times with the same love that I do.

Christmas Pictures

Pals

These girls are the best of friends they are just three months apart in age. And if you can't tell from the pictures they love being together. I love this age everything is fun and still new. They don't have a worry or care in the world... Just exploring, laughing, and loving.

Larson Family

We did these pictures at Murray Park. It is usually at great place for a family photo session, but for some reason it was really busy today. It was almost impossible to take pictures without a stranger in the background. It was really frustrating waiting especially with a one year old who really just wanted to run and play. But we got through it... and it was definatly worth it they got some beautiful portraits.

Johnson Family

i guess i am a little biased, but i think they are a georgous family.

i still can't believe how blue her eyes are. she was not a fan of the camera at all. but she brightened up after a while and we got a few good pictures. her tongue is out in all of the pictures. so cute!

she is a little spit fire...seriously this little girl has more personality in her little finger than most people have in their entire body. she is so much fun. she keeps us all laughing.

she is such a tender hearted little girl, you can't help but love her. doesn't she have the most beautiful complexion?

Fall...Please stay!

I took these pictures while we were visiting my grandma's house. I love how golden the sunlight looks. It was a gorgeous evening with lots of fun.

He is burying his doll in the leaves. Such a boy!

Grandpa's Swing

The kids love this swing. Every time we were visiting during the summer we ended up outside on the swing. Only problem is there is only one swing and three grand kids...can you imagine the tantrums.

Rondevou

So I am pretty sure i misspelled the title of this post.

Rondevou meaning, a mountain man pow-wow.

Our family goes to the fort Bridger Rondevou every fall.

We usually just go up for the day while the rest of our family camps for the week.

There is just something about almost naked, old men in loincloths...WEIRD!

One day is about all I can take, then it's home to my nice soft bed.

I have to say though even with all the crazies around, I love the time with our family.

I wouldn't miss that for anything.

Wearing the fun period dresses is one of the
fun parts of the day.

She can be such a serious little girl.
