Life's been busy as heck lately and starting this weekend, it will only get crazier. I'm TIRED. And I need SLEEP. Thank goodness I'm off from 12/24-1/2! Mama needs it.

I just wanted to stop in and say HI! I also wanted to share a few of the pictures from our Family/Christmas photo session this past weekend with my way-too-awesome friend Elizabeth. We all love the Pearl Brewery so when she recommended it for pictures, I was all for it! (I've talked about the Pearl before here when we double family dated with Elizabeth :) It was around 4:30 and V had JUST fallen asleep in the car on the way over so needless to say, she was pretty grumpy at different times during the session. Yeesh. But Elizabeth is a pro and got some good ones!

Some of the pictures were taken in the book store just for something different and to kill some time until the Christmas lights got turned on around the Pearl. We had a good time with the shoot even if I kept on begging her to not take a shot of me with full on double chin or bent over. hahaha. She's patient though and understood :) We used four pictures on our Christmas card so I'm not posting those yet but here's a few of the rest. Elizabeth sent us like 30 images! She's amazing, to say the least.

This candid shot just makes me laugh. I have NO idea what we were doing here.

8 Month Photo Sesh

I was so nervous about having Violet's pictures taken because she's been difficult to just set down ever since her trip to the ER (see: pumpkin patch pictures) but she completely blew us away on Sunday. She was in the sweetest mood and didn't fuss once during the session. (Well, except for that one time we put her on her stomach. She wants to crawl and can't so that basically pisses her off. I get it.)

I'm so glad that this day worked out for the pictures because it was seriously a beautiful day. When we first got to the park it was windy and cool in the shade so V was able to wear her little fur coat for a few pictures but it quickly warmed up so the rest of the pictures are without it. 

We just love this girl like crazy and can't stop obsessing over these pictures.

and I'm sorry (not sorry) but Ronnie and I make one gorgeous baby ;)

I still have those days when I think, I can't believe THIS IS MY DAUGHTER.

It's a crazy feeling and I swear my heart will explode at that very moment.

This day was most definitely one of those days. 

I couldn't love anyone more.

I am so grateful to my good friend Elizabeth for taking these photos.

(She's taking our family photos in a couple of weeks and I can't wait!)
