This Family of Mine

My very dear and talented friend, Amy, came by to take some casual family pictures a few weeks ago, and I just had to share!  I love how they turned out!  My favorites are probably the candid ones, the laughter captured is just so perfect :)  I can almost hear Andrew's little voice while John tickles him. And Ellie was just content as can be!
Such a precious day that I'll be able to cherish forever. So blessed by this little family of mine.

Gingerbread Party

Three days before Christmas, we got to celebrate our sweet boy's second birthday!  

He invited some of his dearest friends over for a gingerbread party, and everyone had the best time.  

The day was filled with cookie decorating, cupcake eating, craft making, and picture taking fun.  

Andrew especially loved blowing out his candles, indulging in endless sweets, and showing off his balloons. 

Thanks to everyone for making it such a memorable and joyous day. 

Happy 2nd birthday, Andrew!
