Christmas in Houston





Our Houston Christmas was a holly jolly good time!! Beautiful weather, swimming (yes, only in a Texas winter!!), feeding ducks at the pond, playdate with the Boles and Dimiceli kids, playing at the park, dinner at Giuseppe's, breakfast casserole, homemade marshmallows, toffee, and a sea of presents (Maka always outdoes herself :) The kids loved every minute, and we did too!! HO HO HO

The Coldest Shoot EVER.










Oh, what we will do for a Christmas card!!! It was FREEZING and the winds were brutal, but even that couldn't bring us down! The amazing Janica Boles captured our families perfectly.
I love having photos with Maka, Pop, and Team Barnes. It makes my heart sing...

Jolly One


Dear Santa,
This year Stella wanted a "Dora ring" and sam wanted a "skateboard". Oliver wants you to just surprise him.
Merry Christmas big guy!

Flower Girl


Stella was a flower girl in my friend, Amy's, wedding. It was her first gig and she was adorable...Stella walked down the isle at Green Pastures and threw all of the flower petals in the air when she reached the alter. It was like a petal party with her accomplice, Mikayla. Towards the end of the ceremony, Stella was really eager for the kiss. She was kissing my bouquet, kissing her hand...just waiting for the big finale. Later at the reception, Stella ate a ring pop and her tongue turned blue. She made it to almost every table in the place, showing off her electric blue tongue. She was a hoot!
Now if anybody needs a seasoned flower girl, Stella will be pre-booking for 2012.

Little Bugs, Halloween 2011








On Saturday we invaded the St John's Pumpkin Patch to snap some Halloween photos, ride in a wagon, play on the playscape, eat m&ms, and grab a few pumpkins.
This year Stella wanted to be a purple butterfly and Sam wanted to be a bumble bee. So Oliver had to be a spider to fit in with his older brother and sister's bug theme. I love my Little buggies!
