Simple gift
I was completely flattered. My husband and I were invited to a first birthday party for a friends son. We walked into the party and being me I had my camera slung over my shoulder and was asked by our friends to take some pictures to help capture the event. The request was completely flattering and instantly I tried to figure out how I would take pictures and run around after my son. Big thank you to my husband for handling the majority of that duty while at the party. I don’t even know if he got a piece of birthday cake! Luckily I was able to capture some nice moments – moments I hope that their son can look at when he is older and see how many people came to celebrate him on his 1 year milestone.
So I say thank you for asking me; during this holiday season it was a great gift. I hope that everyone receives and appreciates the simple gifts this holiday season. I’ll leave you with a shot of the birthday boy with this post.
Happy Holidays
We all have holiday traditions and one of my favorites is heading downtown the day after Thanksgiving and wandering around the streets soaking up the people, the decorations, families waiting in line for Santa pictures, and warm cups of hot chocolate. Since my son arrived we have added the parade to this tradition. This last year he loved it – while he slept for the first bit of it once he woke up he was all smiles. So much fun to see his little face light up with excitement. Additionally, we always put up our Christmas tree. It was so much fun this year. Our tree doesn’t have many ornaments along the bottom half because my son continually takes them off and piles them up under the tree. It’s almost become a game we play each and every day! I hope that you and your family have been enjoying the holidays to date. If I could toast everyone with a cup of hot chocolate I would!

So excited to put up the tree! This face makes me wish we could put up a Christmas tree all year round!
