Tidings of Comfort ... and J.O.Y!




Last night, my four kiddos (still at home) and I went to get our pictures taken for our Christmas cards. I know, I know.  It is a little late to be getting our pictures taken, but as long as cards are post marked by the 24th we're good, right?  I love Christmas cards SO much that they can keep on comin' all the way through the new year as far as I'm concerned and I would be tickled pink to get them.

Chloe happens to be working with a photography studio during this Christmas season, so she scheduled our appointment to be the last one of the day.  That way, she could leave her post to be a subject in the photo without a problem.

Since Mike, the photographer, knows Chloe, he took all kinds of time with our family.  Mike posed all
of the kids and took some serious shots of each of them.

I don't ever take serious shots of my kids.

Chloe doesn't often strike serious poses.

She prefers to take photos like this one ....




pure joy.

  6. Chlo is so stinkin funny...being a lover of life is a good good thing! I had surrendered to the "no Christmas card" for the second year in a row, how sad! But I think you may have just given me a spark. Think I'll try and scrounge up something somewhat holiday-ish and snap a picture today! Thanks peeps :)
