Christmas Eve

Every year we spend Christmas Eve with Chad's immediate family, this year was no different. We just had a new member to add to the clan, Maci, and some new alcohol to celebrate with, Prairie Fire.  Both excellent new additions if you ask me!  It was a great Christmas Eve complete with way too much food, way too many group pictures (in SOME people's opinions) and way too many presents.  The perfect start to our Christmas celebrations!

Patrick Turns 1

I decided to take a break from my blogging sabbatical and actually make a post!  How could I not when I have these adorable pictures to share?  I adore this family, and I LOVE the fact that Mom is always prepared with fun ideas and props to make the pictures even better.  This particular session was to celebrate Patrick's First Birthday.  Patrick was conveniently born on St. Patrick's Day so you MIGHT notice a theme in the pictures.  Of course we decided to let Big Sis and Big Bro sit in a few pictures with him first and then we dove into really celebrating Mr. Patrick.  Enjoy the sneak peak!

And now some of just the {LUCKY} Birthday Boy!
