Christmas time!

My last session is edited...my house now has a few winter decorations sprinkled in it, Christmas cookies are baked, a few of the gifts are wrapped, my Christmas cards are sent ...yes these all seem like important Christmas things, but really they are nothing in the scheme of things.  I enjoy Christmas and all those things, but really  I LOVE and appreciate CHRIST and what He did for me.  I anticipate the JOY of  HEAVEN soemday (and being with my sweet babies I never was able to enjoy long on Earth). I want to bask in the PEACE the PRINCE OF PEACE wants to bestow on my heart.  May these be the essence of your Christmas!

Because every photographer MUST have  Christmas pics...

here are ours.  

and the back...

I was trying to decide how this might go, especially with Erik...my BUSY 1 1/2 year old.  What would entertain him...what treats do my children like... my conclusion- COTTON CANDY.  I'll tell you a little secret- you know girls are supposed to be the ones with the sweet tooth???? well, MR. Hubby is crazy about cotton candy and has passed that along to my boys. (I won't tell you who's nuts about chocolate though. Wink, Wink! )

I couldn't resist another canvas, so the following image is setting on my basement mantel as a canvas.

Christmas blessings to each of you! And amidst all the crazy hub bub of Christmas, stop and focus on why we celebrate this time of year...JESUS!
