Family Pictures







The day after Thanksgiving was the perfect opportunity to take family pictures (that would also be used in our Christmas card). I was so thankful that Lee's parents came down to celebrate with us and that we captured these moments. It isn't very often that I find myself in front of the camera but I am thankful that we now have these to cherish for years. I couldn't pass up on the beautiful setting in our backyard. It was literally a 5 minute drive from our house. Red Rock was the perfect spot!

Happy Halloween! (Yeah it's a really late post)

Well, since I've been so bad at blogging lately. Here is a recap of Shannon's 2nd Halloween.



Shannon had a blast running around the "pumpkin patch". I use quotations because its literally an empty parking lot filled with wood chips and stacks of hay. But... I shouldn't complain, I just miss going to an actual pumpkin patch where they grow their own pumpkins.

From these pictures, you can clearly tell how much Shannon "enjoyed" carving the pumpkins. It was a mess and a little chaotic but worth it in the end. We picked up a massive pumpkin filled with a ton of seeds just so that Lee could roast them. Mmm, this is making me crave it all over again.


We went as Alice in Wonderland this year! Shannon being Alice, Lee as the Mad Hatter and myself as the Cheshire cat. Flynn was going to be the Rabbit but, he wasn't having it. Shannon did really well with the trick or treating. We only went down our street and came straight home to host a small get together with our friends and pass out candy to trick or treaters. Oh yeah, I made all of our costumes, except for Lee's hat and jacket. It was a lot of work and I even almost lost a finger over Shannon's costume but it was totally worth it in the end. We received a lot of compliments from our neighbors.
