Oh Christmas Tree...






This year was the first year that Harlee has been able to help decorate the Christmas tree and, my goodness was she ever a good helper! We had decorations and lights and bulbs, from one end of the house to the other! Oh well, it was all totally worth it! Let the season begin!

Family Photos











It's been a LONG time since I've udpated the blog. I always have the best of intentions, but, man, it can be super hard to find the time to fit this in! The demands on a full-time working mom can be hard--super hard.

Enough of that--onto the postings! We had our family photos taken toward the end of November, 2011. Harlee had very few melt-downs and Brykn was a big ham for the camera.

Some of my favorite things about these photos...1) I've looked and looked at the pictures of Brandon and I. We've been married nearly 9 years now and it sure doesn't feel that long. It's amazing how time flies when you're happy. Sure, we look a little older than we did in our wedding photos, but I'm so incredibly happy with the life we've built. I love you, Brandon. Thanks for being my everything!

2) My kids are so stinking cute! I mean, seriously, there are no cuter kids on the face of the planet! (Don't argue here...hell hath no fury like a mother who's told her kids aren't cute!)

3) Innocence. Isn't it amazing the innocence in a child's eyes? All that they will learn, experience, and become is yet to be. I LOVE being able to witness that.

Fantastic Family--that's what I have and I'm a lucky girl!
