Merry Christmas from Our House to Yours!

by the way it snowed

if you call a 1/4 inch, and that's being generous, snow =) the kiddos were all about it though. Decked in full snow regalia, ready to take on the cold.







a snow ball or two



or maybe more like snow pebbles





even a little snow angel on the side-walk,







i had to draw the line on eating it though

the miller kiddos

I was so so so bummed after 2 fun hours, some treats, and lots of snuggles from little "Z" not ONE group picture of these four adorable kiddos turned out. I mean I'm talking dream after dream last night of angst, and we all know how weird pregnancy dreams can be, ha ha. Well, I did manange to get a few cute ones of the kiddos by a lovely window in the entry of their home. They are seriously the sweetest family and I hope they manage to get at least one holiday photo for gifts to their family. Also, any photographer friends with tips for shooting in doors without a flash, please please share =) Much obliged...























three sweetest little faces... say it all about how I feel =( They're probably thinking about the same thing as I am... a little chocolate is sure to help =)

I had the privelage of taking pics of some sweet little ladies today. One is Desi's cousins little sugar and the other is her neice. Are they not adorable? The Good Lord sent enough sunshine and smiles I think we got a few good ones. Hope they like them!

holiday cheer

have you figured out the holiday outfits for your younguns? I'm perplexed this year. Aiden will prob not be too enthusiastic about a holiday sweater lol. I''m thinking this little number for Jillian, it's not terribly traditional, and many prob will dislike it, but then again, I'm not so traditional =) It's the one on the right. I'd live in it if it were for grownups. But I'd prob look silly =)



she might need one of these too, just sayin..

memories

...she told me today that I'm her best friend

...when Jilly asked him the other day why he loves me soooooooo much he said, "It's a Secret"

I'm not ready for them to grow up...
