Howza 'bout a few babies doing the kitschy Christmas stuff??? I can't stand it!!! These guys are too cute for words.... I don't know how the Dads feel, but I know the Moms are going NUTS!! Some of my fave shots from the season, so sad it's all over, can't wait till NEXT YEAR!!!

This is another holiday pair, just lighting up the camera with their antics and stunning beauty. I got an all time fave shot of them last year with little sister falling over backwards laughing, and this year, she did it again, giving her brother the biggest, squooshing hug that he was not a willing recipient of!!! Classic childhood brother/sister moment, totally spontaneous and real. My favorite way.

These beautiful children are up here for the second time, we made pictures together last year. How lucky am I- look at the color scheme here!!! I don't think there is a camera on the planet that can do proper justice to it, but oh, how I tried!! They define the word: fair. My first try with the flash? They completely disappeared. Their mom and I got a laugh out of that!!! I love the creamy skin tones against that deep red backdrop. Porcelain skin, indeed. Beautiful.

I first met the oldest two of this foursome when they were the sweetest little toddlers and they used to play with my son in our local playground. I laugh when I think about how their mom and I would complain about how pricey the Thomas the Tank Engine toys were!!! I only had one boy to please; she had two to keep supplied with them! We moved away, and I didn't run into her again until now, so many years later, we met once again at an activity shared by our younger, more recently added family members. It was so good to see her again, she hadn't changed one bit. I remember we also used to talk about having more kids way back when....little did we know how it would all turn out....what a beautiful family she has!!!
