Happy Valentine's Day!

Courtesy of the adorable Chase and Brice! Seriously, could they be any cuter?!?!

Many thanks to Maya for a quick and easy Valentine's Day mini session. There were so many beautiful photos to choose from!

Blue-eyed Brice

I apparently forgot everything I knew about DSLR photography over the holidays, except for one afternoon in Concord when the light was perfect and I was able to capture a joyful Brice and his glorious blue eyes. Aside from cropping, none of these images were retouched.

Holidays 2012: Christmas in Concord

The day after Christmas, we quickly packed up and set out for Concord to celebrate Christmas with the Lamonts. I am so disappointed because I barely got any pictures! We had such a great holiday (again, with so many gifts!) and laughed so much. These photos only gift you a taste of our celebration.

We got Amelia a microphone with a base that plays music. It was a hit! All three of the big kids serenaded us (Uncle Scott did introductions).

 

 

Brice and Grammy

One of the prized gifts was a giant Minion. Chase is a huge fan of Despicable Me ("Despicable Movie" as he calls it). The Concord Lamonts came across this Minion at a carnival-type game and had to have it. Grammy even hand washed it to ensure it would be perfect for Christmas!

 

As I said, we are lacking in pictures! Consider this fair warning, family: We will be sitting down to take official pictures at every gathering going forward.

 

Regardless, our time in Concord was lovely. Chase especially enjoyed playing with his cousins and Brice loved crawling all over the place and following the big kids around. Stephen and we all enjoyed being with Grammy and Grampy, Geoff and Carrie, Scott and Amy, and Sandra and Stan. We were also happy that we got to spend a little bit of time with Carolyn, (Reverend) Ray, Tucker, and Ally. Another reminder of why we love the holidays!

 

Merry Christmas, 2012!
