Christmas lights, trees, music, the parties and don’t get me started on the food.  Seriously, January 1st I will be adding a new resolution. ;p 

But I love this time of year.  I love the colors, the togetherness that seems to surround Thanksgiving, Christmas and even New Years.  This session was just so fun for me for that reason.  Loved watching this sweet little girl hold an ornament or her older brother giving her a hug.  Simple and sweet…and really such a beautiful family.

Grace, well, I might have had to work with her a bit to get used to me.  We read books…oh but what really made her smile was being able to hold a Mason jar filled with Christmas lights!  Wish I had thought of this…what a creative idea and one I will so use next year.  But I loved watching her happiness…and through that watching her Mom, Genne, watch her.  And for me, at least, these are the little things that I treasure with my family.  The simple things…remembering that it is those hugs, those magical lights and family times that make for the memories that we hold on to. 

Thank you so much for inviting me into your home!  Beautiful…enjoy some of our pics from that afternoon.
