As our Christmas Day comes to a close, I’m so thankful for everything and everyone in my life, and most of all for the reason for the season. I can’t begin to tell you how much Jesus has done for me - and it’s just so wonderful that 2000 years after His birth, we are still honoring Him every year on this day. We give gifts to those we love and care about because our heavenly Father gave his son to us, as a gift, to save the world. Amazing.

I hope this post finds everyone safe and sound and OFF those nasty roads! We actually postponed our family Christmas for a few days just so we wouldn’t be traveling today. It’s been such a fun day watching the kids play with their new games and toys and playing with them (until they decide I’m too lame at video games to keep playing with me - and it’s sooo true, that I’m lame at video games that is!).

On that note, I thought I’d post a few of my fam!! The awesome Sarah Mansur of Sarah Mansur Photography did our family portraits this year. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your talent with us! We are so greatful and love our images! And a big thank you to Stacy and Deemer, who allowed us to go to their ranch in Bixby to shoot on their amazing property! We had so much fun and just LOVED it out there!

We decided to do an extended family session and include my two sisters and my brother-in-law. We’ve never had a family portrait together and it was way overdue!

Since my oldest son ran far far away the first chance he got, Sarah didn’t get any individual shots of him, so before we left I made sure to get a few - this is one I just love! I know he’s not smiling, but sometimes those non-smiling shots are my favorites….

Merry Christmas and have a safe, and amazing New Year!!
