Family Pictures

On Christmas Eve, we decided to take out the camera and take some family photos. It had been way too long. In fact, we also decided that we must get to a professional photographer sometime in 2011. The last time we had a professional picture taken of the three of us, was in 2003 and James was only 2 1/2 years old. We are way beyond due for that!!

In the mean time, these will have to do!! These are the best ones we took the other day. The hardest part of the whole thing was figuring out how the timer on the camera worked!

So, from our house (and hearts) to yours.....we wish you lots of the best things for 2011!! With much love heading your way........

A Holiday Mix

I was looking at a friend's blog this morning, and fell in love with a way to present pictures that she had used! Helen, you're so good at knowing about this kind of thing and I hope you don't mind that I, too, jumped on the wagon, so to speak! I think that this is a great way to post more pictures for all to see and enjoy!

Here are the best of the pictures I've taken in the last 10 days! As Hanukkah ended for this year, we headed out on one of our favorite annual outings....to the Christmas tree farm to find our tree!! James decorated his room with lights and we've been busy decorating the house, inside and out!! Within the next week, I'll be taking photos of the finished products - the tree and village inside and the outside of our house - and will be posting those pictures soon!

We hope that you're enjoying your holiday season!
