Santa Hat

Another little holiday tradition is the shot of Mia in a santa hat. I usually print small ones and stick them on cute photo ornaments for gifts to the grandparents. It's been silly and fun, but not this year. I think I've been in her face with the camera too much. What happened to my sweet lil one with the fabulous smile?

so far, the choices for 2008

my friends, my family

It's pretty much a known fact that I have a photography addiction. Our fabulous friend and brilliant photographer, Bonnie has enabled me once again! First it was this beautiful 24x36 canvas of our little family that's hung over our fireplace with care. I wrote a little bit about the day Bonnie delivered it here.

Yesterday, she did it again with these two 16x24 canvases of Daryl and me. We've moved the turtle (my belly cast), and hung these gorgeous canvases directly over out bed. Daryl LOVES them and didn't make the money face even once. Mia totally digs them. She sits there and points back and forth saying 'daddy mama daddy mama mama daddy' as fast as she can until she jumps into our arms and says 'daddy, mama, my friends, my family'.

Thanks Bonnie, we LOVE you!
