Christmas Card Pictures

This year I finally got my butt in gear and decided to do our first Christmas cards. I asked my friend, who is a new photographer, to take our pictures and I love how they turned out! It was a quick 30 minute session which is perfect because Emily was starting to have a meltdown at the end. It's a lot of work to be a princess!!

James's Newborn Pictures

I feel like I need to share these gorgeous pictures my friend Wendy took of James as a newborn even if I'm super late in posting them. Get ready for photo overload!

Family Photos

While my family was all together, we took that rare opportunity to get some updated family photos done by my awesome friend and photographer, Wendy! They turned out so great. We love them! Here are some of my favorites....

Oak Glen Ranches and Farms

The weekend of Thanksgiving was relaxing and enjoyable for my family. (Although Michael had to work so not really for him...) We went to Oak Glen on Saturday, which is up in the mountains here in Southern California. There are a bunch of farms that each have little shops and stores for visitors. Their specialty is apples so there were a ton of caramel apples, apple cider, jams and jellies, pies. etc. The scenery was my favorite part. My sister took some beautiful photos.

In between stops, I would feed Emily in the car when it was needed. She seemed to be enjoying herself too...

This is right outside one of the many shops...

We all took turns holding Emily...

It was such a fun experience! I will need to take Emily again when she is a little bit older.
