Family Photos

We had some beautiful family pictures taken this fall that I just had to share. We used a new photographer this time, and she did an amazing job wrangling our boys and even getting a few couple shots of me and Ryan (that hasn't happened since our wedding!). Thanks, Sarah Avitua, for the wonderful photos!

The most wonderful time of the year...

We've had so much fun celebrating the Christmas season with the boys this year. We've been to see Santa (three times!), watched some amazing trains, decorated cookies, and looked at Christmas lights. Here's a quick recap of all we've been up to.

PS - two of our visits to Santa aren't documented because my usually social first-born was freaking out at the sight of the merry old elf. Thankfully, he warmed up by the time we went to see him at Bass Pro Shop. Jasper, on the other hand, screams every time he sits on Santa's lap - guess its a good thing he's not big enough to wiggle away yet :)

Trains at Northpark - the boys were IN LOVE with all the amazing little engines!
