Christmas Cards

I la, la, love Christmas cards. I am so excited the whole month of December to see what and who appears in our mailbox. And I am always sad to take them down. If it was kosher, I would keep them up all year round.


This year an amazing friend and photographer from Indianapolis (www.kimberlyannephoto.com) came and took our family pictures. Hope was just around 2 months old (so much younger than her now 3 months age), so I thought brilliant--we can do family photo, infant pics, and Christmas card all at the same time. One thing I forgot was that muwah, would not necessarily be back to regular form, shape or size. But hey, I shouldn't be so vain, rt? The night before, though, I was completely second guessing my decision to do family pics when I was frantically trying to find something that fit and didn't make me look preggo!! Because really the photos are all about me, of course.

Well, Kim our lovely photographer, who did I mention is A-maZ-ing, came and we all piled in for the landscape and then beach photos. Let's just forward to the end of the night, where Matt and I were both drinking our adult beverage of choice, mine being San Sebastian. Matt's exact words, "Well, we won't be doing that for another 10 years." All I could do was nod, as I sipped on SS, for all my energy was drained, all my resolve completely taken away.

But despite our non smiling, non happy, non docile children, Kim still performed her magic and got some great shots.









Now after a month to recoop from our shoot, next year I will be bring copius amounts of candy to bribe, hipe up and entice our 4 little models. Shhhh, don't tell Matt we will be doing it again.

Presents


I love waking up to a sea of gifts on Christmas morning. Is that lame, materialistic, etc - maybe - but mostly I just think its fun! And on Jesus' birthday we should have lots and lots of fun. :) And boy did we :).

It was a Power Ranger and Lego Christmas for the boys :). 

There is nothing better than surprising my mom and getting her a gift that she actually likes. She is the Rock and Heart behind our Maz family. Without her we are all nothing, seriously. 


We got my parents Kick Scooters for Christmas. And they were a hit!!


There is no way she is in her 50's!! 

My dad was racing the boys in no time. Isaac wasn't about to let him win!
My husband is amazing, putting up with me and my cra-A- Z-ness during Christmas.
