merry Christmas!

merry Christmas to all my family, friends and the incredible people that i got to work with in 2011!!!!  :D :D :D  may God bless you and the ones you love!!!  xo!

...and before i sign off of all things blog/Facebook-related for a few days, to be with my family....  i also wanted to share this song with you -- a reminder that Christmas is Jesus.  Emmanuel.  God with us.

deck the halls!

ahhhhh...i just LOVE the music of the season!!! enjoy another new favourite of a much-loved carol! :D





3 more sleeps!!!  :D  (...the anticipation isn't building or anything.  NAHHHH.)  ;)

our 2011 christmas card.



...and a few extras too!  ;D  the kids & i had some fun in front of the tree....very much an IMPROMPTU photoshoot (which, let's face it, is the way to go with kids...  my kids, anyway.  the less stress about what they're going to wear, capturing them 'in-the-moment' -- the better!).  anyhoo...  we had fun.  :D

first up, jacob....  my eldest son will be 9 in january!  (GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!  Time.  seriously.  we've had it out before.  slow down, would ya?!!).

...but was it shot with canon or nikon?!

;D

haha!  this is awesome!!!!!!  (...and yes, i'm a canon girl!)  :D





on a side note.... i finished my Christmas shopping this morning!!!!!! woooooo!!!!! now to wrap it all! ha!

stay tuned for our family's Christmas card and a few more from my mini photoshoot with the kids!  teehee!  i love this time of year!!!!!!  have a wonderful pre-Christmas tuesday, everyone!
