Breakfast w/ Sesame Street at Sea World & Christmas w/ Grampy and Mimi

This morning we went to Sea World to have breakfast with Sesame Street! My kids had a BLAST! Almost all of the characters were there except Big Bird. We had our picture made with Cookie Monster and Elmo and ate a big breakfast buffet with eggs, sausage, bacon, french toast, FRESH fruit, yogurt, coffee and juice!! It was Y-U-M-M-Y! After Sea World we headed to Grampy and Mimi's house to open gifts. The kids got some GREAT toys and we just hung out for a while! It was a great day!

Adoption Day Video

So Erik just finished this video and you might need to have a box of tissues to watch it. Can't believe it has been 15 months since their adoption day!

Christmas 2009

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas with Mema this morning. The kids got bicycle's from Santa and they LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They were up at 6:30 am going nonstop until bedtime tonight at 7. We had our good friends "Grandpa Mart and Grama Pat" over for dinner and it was so fun. We took the kids outside to ride their bikes and they were so HAPPY! We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Family Portraits

Well this year I didn't have a partner to take our pics so I found someone in San Antonio that would do the trick. She captured more of the playful side of my family and we had a lot of fun. The best part about the shoot is that she brought cupcakes...and that is ALL she had to say to make Hadleigh happy.

I enjoyed being on the other side of the camera every once in a while! Here are a few I wanted to share!

Happy Halloween!!

Costume quick pics was a success Satureday. We just had a few come, but it was GREAT! So many cute costumes.

Of course it took me 4X's as long to capture their images as it did anyone else. My children made quite the scene. Am I the ONLY photographer with this problem? HA! At the end we are walking back to the studio and Hadleigh says "I'll be nice Mom." (she decided she wanted a sucker like Isaac)

My little Cowboy and Indian turned out so cute. Thanks to Mema for making Hadleigh's costume and thanks to Tucker and Evan for making Isaac's costume possible!

So then Sunday morning I had to run by the studio to pick something up and Hadleigh was with me. Here's the conversation:
H: "Mommy take my picture."
Me: Do you want to take your picture inside or outside?
H: "Inside."

So I turned on the lights in the studio and here is what I got. It took 5 minutes!!
