Finally. The tree is up, the house is decorated and the stockings are hung.  In years past, we have had everything up by Thanksgiving. Over the last few years, the trips up and down the attic have become pretty tiresome, and the number of boxes of decorations have diminished quite drastically.  I think my nickname used to be Martha (as in Stewart), but lately it has been Grinch! Well, bahumbug no more I say! I love how warm and cozy our home feels with Christmas all around us. There truly is nothing sweeter.

This is baby “F” and his fabulous family. At 12 days new he is full of personality and knows what he wants! I always tell my moms that the newborn is in charge of the session and this little fella was indeed…but, once he got his belly full and snuggles from mom and dad, he slept like a dream.  With the help of my handy dandy heater of course Thanks guys for a wonderful afternoon, you were awesome and made this whole session so enjoyable! And thank you to my dear friend Heather for being a wonderful assistant…my back thanks you as well

Over night it seems my little boy turned into a pre-teen. He is now 12 growing on 21 and I’m pretty sure I have the gray hairs to prove it! I think the highlight of Gage’s birthday this year was going to Tallahassee with Jim to watch Florida play, despite the 7 hour drive home on Sunday.  With all these birthdays so close to Christmas the poor kids are getting a little short changed in the party and gift department.  Even with pictures, as I tried to lump Christmas and a Birthday session into one. Yeah, fun.  As a matter of fact, I told my Husband to not worry about my birthday next week…really, we can just skip it and pretend it never happened.  How about we do that every year from here on out and I will just stay 32 forever

SO here is my sweet boy, all grown up and a few sneak peeks from our attempt at Christmas pictures.
