Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!!

I have always loved Christmas!  My family always made Christmas quite a big deal.  Growing up our house was decked with wreaths, bows, candles, and all things jolly.

I’m not quite that great of a parent (though hopefully I’ll get there some day) but we did take the girls out to cut down a Christmas tree (read more here), we made Christmas Cookies, and we put up some decorations around our house.

They were so excited that Santa visited our house and filled their stockings.  Though her did forget to close the fireplace doors when he left!

We decided to take our yearly Christmas photos at my new studio; Company Fifteen, located in Moline, Illinois!  My good friend Ashley took our photos for us and I think they turned out great!  Let me tell you; getting four little girls to cooperate is NOT an easy task!

I hope you spent the holiday season enjoying many traditions, family time, and reflecting back on the true reason for the season!
