Christensen Family Photo Shoot

It's been a while since I had a family photo shoot. I was really excited when Jenna contacted me and asked if I would do it.  I was a little nervous since I am getting less and less mobile.  But I think it went really well.  They were a lot of fun to shoot.  And their little boy, I just wanted to take him home.  He is just so sweet and happy! Thanks Jenna once again for letting me shoot your family :0)

 

And by the way I just wanted to thank everyone else who has allowed me the opportunity to take pictures of them and their families.  It really has meant a lot to me.  You have all helped me get a little closer to making a dream of mine come true.  Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Getting Ready Christmas

So this weekend we started getting the home ready for Christmas.  The kids had fun taking out all the decorations.  Even though at times they argued about who got to hang what up, I think they really had a good time.

Here they are playing with the nativity scene.  I think this is their favorite decoration, because they can play with it.  This was my favorite item to put up every Christmas too! Later that night we went riding around looking at people's Christmas lights.  Viggo loved it! He was so excited to see all the homes decorated. His favorite one was of Santa falling off a tree, and his pants had fallen so you could see his boxers.  He kept saying "Mira papi mira, Santa tiene chonies."  I have always loved Christmas, but seeing my kids love it makes me just so happy.  Hearing them sing Christmas songs, and watching them watch all the Christmas specials I use to watch, decorating cookies, and just getting into the spirit is so fun.  Sometimes I wish this month would never end..... but this year I am bit excited for December to end because that means I am one more month away from having my baby boy.  Which by the way has an official name.  It will will be Micah! I love it and guess what so does David. Its kinda funny someone pointed out at church that I kept saying the name Michael.  "I can't call him Michael if I have a Viggo."  But then I found this version of Michael and I instantly new it was the one! It means like God.  Yay! So that is my Christmas present to all of you! You don't have to hear me ramble anymore about baby boy names. Hope you are all having fun getting ready for Christmas too!

Fun with Cousins

I love it when David's family comes down.  Leah and her girls came down.  And I don't mean to boast but I have the best nephews and nieces.  They are all so loving, and not too mention they are all so adorable.  Here are some pics from our fun weekend together. I miss them already.

( Sorry for the different color styles in the pictures.  I have just been practicing different overlays on the pictures for fun.)

Cheetah Celebrity Award

Today was Ariana's day! She was so excited for Friday, because she knew she was going to receive a Cheetah award, and her class got to have a star jar party where all the kids got to come to school in their pj's to celebrate! She was so cute! I know I say this all the time but I just adore her.  She got the award for having a fabulous smile, and knowing 100% of her site words.  She is such a big reader now.  Anyways, I am so proud of her, and her uncle Josh even came to see her.  This is for sure a Happy Friday!

Boys Names

Okay I have become obsessed with finding a boy name for my new one.  Recently I said I liked Logan, but David was not too convinced.  But I think I found one he will love.  It is Zaydn (Zaiden) not quite sure which spelling I like. And it means lucky.  We originally wanted to name him Zidane, but for various reasons we decided not to go with it.  But David has not found one that he has liked better than that one.  But I think Zaydn is close enough to the original one that he will actually go for it! Viggo and Zaydn.  I think I like it.  Its been so hard to find one that will go well with Viggo's name.  It just seemed weird to name our new boy a name like Michael now that we have a Viggo. Now we have to find a middle name.  Maybe he will let me use Logan as the middle name.  I am soooo happy.  I can't wait to run it by him.  I think this one will work!!! Wish me luck! 

Oh No....

I got my CAMERA back!!! I am so excited! I haven't had it for months.  I feel so rusty, so that means I  need to take lots and lots of pictures.  Can you tell that my family is so happy about that? I have been so sad without it.  I got it just in time for Ariana's assembly tomorrow, where she is getting an award!

Today is going to be a good day!
