2011.

grateful for 2011.
hopeful for 2012.
happy new year!
much love, t

just the way you are.

happy birthday to the girl
who sings in the backseat,
makes everyone laugh out loud,
and still has us wrapped around her little finger
six years later.

our court. who is amazing.
just the way she is.
love you.

merry sounds like.

hayden singing all three verses of silent night by candlelight.
occasionally with his head on my shoulder.
court whispering "let's wake mom up!"
and then running in yelling
"santa stuffed our tree!!
wake up! it's merry christmas!"
at 5:48 am.

hope your day is merry, too.
much love, t

we were dreaming of a white christmas.

...but we know there's probably plenty coming our way soon enough.
wishing all of our friends & family safe travels and a very merry christmas.

baby, it's cold outside.

outtakes.

sometimes it's spontaneous and easy and court hasn't even combed her hair.
sometimes it's an epic saga.
all in all, they're pretty good sports for their crazy mama.

too kissy.



too close. nobody will buy that story.



too mischievous.



too true.



my second fav. just after the magic photo word.

to missy.

we were in the right place at the right time,
which is how i usually feel when we're together.
happy, happy birthday, miss.




oh, and i might add, the best light.
the make-all-your-photgraphy-dreams-come-true kind of light.
these are my all time favs of the boys.





love you!

ps you really only look like you're 33.
