The Greatest Story Ever Told

And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." ~ Luke 2:10-12

When I first looked at this session I got the shivers, I was just taken away with the emotion the children displayed. This session was inspired by my friend Nikki, she asked me if I would do a nativity session with her children for her mother as a Christmas gift. At first I was a bit nervous, it was so different from anything I had ever done before. I like to try new things and this is so very different from my usual style. I enjoyed every second of this session, there is so much meaning and love. I know grandma will be in tears when she looks at her photo book for the first time. Nikki you and your children are amazing, thanks for allowing me to take part in this, I will treasure this session forever! Merry Christmas, xox

My husband is taking the day off work tomorrow and we are heading to Duluth MN to do our Christmas shopping, yes another year we have left it until the last minute. I am not sure how we are going to shop for four boys in one day.... eeeeeeks that sounds so scary to me... I am looking forward to spending time with the hubs, it seems with hockey we never get to spend much time together, but I am not looking forward to the crowds. Wish me luck.... xox

Heart Christmas Red

Thought I would share some random pictures, I love taking holiday themed photos, all the pops of red make me happy during the month of December and then back to pink in January, tee hee hee... I bought my youngest son that HUGE cocoa mug, he loves cocoa and I just knew it would make him smile and it did, he put a whole bag of marshmallows in it too, we had to help him finish it... hope everyone is staying warm and having fun Christmas shopping. xox
