My goal has been to get a blog post of our kids up before Christmas:)  I am cutting it close, so here it goes.  I can  hardly believe another month has gone by.  My New Years resolution is to blog more snapshots of my kids…I have hundreds just sitting on my computer!  Maybe I could do one post a month….

Julia was baptized the weekend after Thanksgiving.  We had her baptized at the nursing home my Grandpa is a resident in, it was wonderful and such a blessing he could be there.  Her gown was made from my wedding dress and it turned out just beautiful!

Growing up, we always had chocolate advent calendars, but when I saw this one, I couldn’t resist:)  As soon as Elias wakes up each morning  he brings this into my room and we build the creation for the day.

Love this picture of my babies together and Julia went through a phase a  few weeks ago where he tongue was always sticking out, so it is perfect!

Elias is such a happy kid and I LOVE spending my days with him and Julia.  We miss him when he is at school, I don’t know what we will do next year when he is gone all day.

She is full of smiles all day long!  The way she looks at Elias just melts my heart!

Like I said, she is HAPPY and we are all so in love with her!  Oh, and we think she is kinda cute too:)

She loves to sit up and be a part of the action!

She started eating cereal a couple weeks ago and she goes wild when she sees the bowl coming.  Elias loves to feed her.

We didn’t bake much this Christmas, because my mom gave us a ton of wonderful goodies, but we did make a few special treats to deliver to Elias’ friends.

I am still getting use to seeing that missing tooth….he is growing up to fast.

We also made gingerbread houses with “the cousins” and it was a blast!

Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph another baby Julia!  Her mom had their home all decorated for Christmas, so it was a perfect time for her nine month photos along with some Christmas card shots.  Julia was such a little doll and I really enjoyed our session!

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my aunts and their families traveled up to Williston. While they were here, I had the opportunity to photograph them. We had a gorgeous day for photos and I always love shooting out at my Grandparents yard.

First up, the Dorwart Family:

Often when I was in Jr High and High School, I would go to Colorado and visit during the summers….I cannot believe how grown up everyone is….that means I am older too:)!

Look at this little doll!  I was so happy that our move here was timed perfectly to photograph this little sweetheart!  She is the fifth in her family and is so adored by all of her siblings, in fact, I don’t think there is ever a time when she is not held….just how it should be:)
