Merry Christmas!! ♥

December 24, 2009

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!! Finally tonight I got my Christmas picture done of my kids (+ cat), talk about some serious procrastination this year!

It was quite a process, 4 pictures. First the boys, then Cat, then Cayley and last CoCo the cat. They were all merged together in Photoshop. You can tell the boys are so NOT thrilled about the whole thing! Cat on the other hand was super excited knowing that it would look like she did it all, lol. She had her “evil” laugh going on during the shoot she was so excited. Cayley just loves pictures and to pose so she was easy too. Now, the cat, well that took a few (10-20) tries. She wasn’t in the posing kinda mood it seemed, lol. But finally got a good one of her sitting and looking at the camera.

Oh, and can you seriously believe this year is almost over? Crazy huh, that it’s almost 2010! AND, New Years day my eldest baby turns 13, boo-hoo! A teenager, I just can’t believe it!

Then also in Jan we are moving to San Antonio!! Whoo-hoo, I’m so excited! Don’t get me wrong, I really do love Virginia Beach, but man to not have winters really anymore, what a dream come true!! Maybe next year I will be able to get all the kids to wear cowboy boots in their holiday pic? Thinking of it all now, let the plotting begin, I know I will have one unhappy teenager when he finds that out, lol.

Norina: I've complimented this pic many times but I just can't say enough, it's AMAZING! I love it! And I love you! Merry Christmas!

amanda: I can't believe it is all merged! Awesome! and I love it!

jen: awesome photo!! good luck with the moving! and no more winter- im so envious!

cyndi: Thanks so much Norina, Amanda and Jen!!

Kara May: Oh My Goodness!! How cute are your kids?!! They are getting so big!! And they are so beautiful!! Happy New Year Cyndi!!

The “Hat” ♥

December 21, 2009

Remember the Mohawk hat I had in my last post from Gap? I got it :) Whoo-hoo! Yesterday I managed to get my little guy to pose for me for a few pictures. I admit, it wasn’t hard, I’m blessed with children who actually love to take pictures :) Now he is a boy, so we got more “funny faces” than picture perfect ones. But they are perfect to me!!

This one cracks me up, such a funny face! Check out our kitties pink paws, lol. Nope, I didn’t paint them, she is wearing little claw covers. Guess it makes it easier for the kids to torture her without fear of retribution.

Here’s a nice serious one, he’s such a handsome little guy :) I can’t believe he is now 8!

And one more funny face one, I call this one his surprised look OR “catchin’ flies”

surprise

Let me leave you with one more funny. Remember the cute “Talk to the Moose” commercial I posted? Check this out, so funny! I watched it at least 5 times :)

jen: love this!! that hat totally rocks! happy holidays! :)

amanda: too funny! LOVE the hat!

Have you seen this Gap commercial? These little girls kill me, it’s so stinkin’ cute! My daughters want me to rewind it so they can watch it again and again. Then they walk around chanting the commercial. Seriously so catchy!

Even more so the clothes are so cute!! OMG how I adore the bright, cheery colors! I need to get myself down to the Gap to get some for my own girls :)

So, ready for a Christmas deal? If your daughter has any of the outfits from that commercial and you are interested in a session, I will wave your session fee and it will be FREE!! Nothing better than free right, lol. That is how much I love those outfits! Of course you better prepare her for me singing the song the whole session.

Now, not to leave out the boys. I also LOVE this from Gap!! I’m going to have to see if I can stuff my 8 year olds head into this Mohawk hat because it is the coolest! I so wish I had a baby boy to put that little bear hat on :) So if you don’t have girls you aren’t excluded from my special offer! Dress your little guy up in either of these outfits and your session is FREE too!!

Norina: Ok gap better give you a kick back because I am running out and buying that bear hat (and possibly the mohawk hat!) outfit because it is soo cute! Zech makes me rewind that commercial as well! So funny that kids enjoy it so much. XOXO
