linking up with Em!

Merry Christmas

From our family to yours...

embrace the camera. 12.15.11

Linking up with Em, for the first time in over a year.

These pics are just a small reminder that I need longer arms...or maybe I just need to set up the tripod.  :)  50 mm lens = half blurry self portraits + one cute baby

2nd attempt

last but not least

Link up!  Congratulations to the sweet Anderson's on their precious little Olive.

Magic

Isn't this the sweetest little "magic" of Christmas pic? 
Even though most of the tree is missing,
 I just love the dreamy stare.

Tweet tweet.

See my sweet little birds nest ring?  I've had the nest made for a while now but decided I wanted it a little bigger.  So I wrapped a little extra and then made the ring.  It's messy, I might redo it, but I love it! 

Yum.

Who doesn't love chocolate?! Check out this blog I stumbled upon...try not to eat the computer.

for the love of chocolate

currently...

I saw this on Casey's blog the other day, but I've also seen it pop up other places too.  I thought it would be fun for me, fun for you and even more fun as a way to keep up with blogging. 

Obsessing over: Advent, finishing a "secret santa" gift, Pinterest, red nails, and Christmas movies.

Working on: ideas for upcoming birthdays, above "secret santa" package, a new look for my blog, and dinner.

Thinking about: whether or not I will ever finish my quilt, how to be a better mama, moving, and a latte.

Anticipating: Christmas, spiritual growth, moving, Christmas Eve traditions, bedtime.

Listening to: 2 babies breathing, 1 husband snoring 

Drinking: nothing. :(

Wishing for: Lightroom :), ways to give more, spiritual growth, a move for our family, less whining, more fun.
