Merry Christmas!

LOVE this hat!

If you are addicted to hats as much as I am, you have to check out Snuggle Bunny Boutique!




Ignore the booger nose, I tried to get it all clean. We are all fighting off a horrible cold. Hopefully, we all feel better for Christmas.



Do you ever just know when you take a particular photo that it's going to be great? That is how I felt with this one.











I hope everyone has Merry Christmas!

Day 7: My Favorite Dessert

These are called the Monster cookies, and they are delicious. Friends of ours were kind enough to surprise us with these. They are my absolute favorite!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Portrait

Believe it or not, I found a great place to take pictures with good lighting. The folding counter in our condo's community laundry building...LOL! Great thing about this spot is that it is so interesting for Parker, he will sit and take a few pictures for me. Our condo is on the bottom floor, and while they are wonderful in the summer, we have huge shade trees that pretty much cover our windows. Sometimes Parker's room catches some good light, but it's usually at a real inopportune time.

2. Nostalgic


My daughter's first Christmas ornament, I bought this just after she was born.


3. Time


You can't pause TIME, but you can take a picture.

4. Full of Light



Big Christmas tree at Desert Ridge, it was so tall I couldn't get the whole tree in the picture.

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day Six

Day 6: Someone You Love

Of course my daughter and hubby are also on top of the "people I love" list. I just get a lot more opportunities to photograph Parker, since we are together all day.
