Christmas Eve Eve

Mike and Emily have an annual Christmas Eve Eve party at their house. There is a bonfire, sledding, snow machining and lots of comfort food. It's always a good time and the kids seem to love it.


Uncle Chris has dressed up as Santa the last two years and I think it's great! What a fun uncle.












CHEESE! This would have been a great pic if Connor liked my flash.

Thanksgiving!

I'm going back in time to Thanksgiving. We celebrated the holiday at Aunt Mary and Uncle Ed's house. Below is Connor with all his Alaskan cousins. While we miss my family A LOT this time of year...we are thankful that Ron has such a wonderful family to spend the holidays with.

On November 14, we had family pictures taken. It was so cold!! 15 degrees with some COLD wind chill! Connor was not very happy, but we were able to get a few decent shots.

Connor met Santa!

At first he wasn't so sure about him, but by the time I was finished paying, he was smacking Santa in the face trying to get his glasses off!

I am a bit behind in updating the blog! I will go back and add more posts from November, but I couldn't wait to show off Connor's pics taken by Tammy Smith. He never smiles for professionals like he smiles for me at home, but I still love these!













Here they are again with a vintage look...
