the christmas season!

wow! what crazy fun times we have been having! i tried to get a family shoot done for my own family, but as luck would have it, the day i scheduled our family it rained like crazy! i got a few pictures, enough to get a christmas card done anyway:)

here's my adorable christmas angel:) you just have to love preschool programs!

here's a few pictures from lexie's dance recital...the grinch!

as soon as chase finished his preschool program, we took off for utah for a few days!

we attended the jon schmidt concert. it was absolutely amazing! the kids loved it. after the concert we headed to temple square, and froze our poor california butts off! but the lights were amazing. it has been at least 13 years since matt and i have been to temple square in the winter:)

our last day in utah was spent tubing! this was the day before the storm, so it was so nice and warm. by the end of the tubing session the kids had removed all their jackets and hats!

hope you are all enjoying the season! i will be back with some fun christmas pics:)

officially in hiding...

i am officially in hiding! i have done lots of family shoots, and look forward to my newborn tomorrow. i hope to return to the real world after the nativity festival this weekend! so many fun and happy things going on, i just love this time of year. we are looking forward to our holiday break with some time in the snow:) i will hopefully be back next week...maybe! i will leave you with an all time funny pic. this is one of ian's bestest buddies! you can't help but laugh when he's around!

i can't believe they were willing to go out and get this wet....it was soooo cold. i went home with my back completely soaked. a wave came up on me from behind and nailed me...i told the family to bring an extra set of clothes. didn't think i would be needing them:)

happy holidays!!!
