christmas came and went so quick, i can’t believe it! i wanted to post some photos from christmas, although i didn’t take too many. a lot of these pictures were taken by my dad because i was busy helping leland open his presents and chasing him around. it was so cute to see him open his gifts and run around with bows from the wrapping all over him :) we visited our families, ate ALOT of food, and reflected on our Savior’s birth. think christmas is one of my favorite holidays…i was still listening to christmas music yesterday, i guess it’s time to turn it off haha. i’m definitely looking forward to the new year! :) any who, here are a few random photos of christmas…the picture above was one of my gifts from my folks: lovely pillows from pottery barn! (love that place)

a little bla bla bear …so cute!

a little gift to myself :) kinfolk mag

haha, just being himself…

someone knew i was indecisive…..

yipee!! love these…

Lately, things haven’t been too exciting here….just getting ready for Christmas, traveling, photographing a few weddings.  I haven’t really sat down and just written in a while so I thought I’d at least post some random photos from my phone over the past week! I can’t believe Christmas is only about a week away!! The weather here is so warm for this time of year and feels a bit like spring more than winter :) Maybe it will snow this week in time for Christmas? Anywho, here is my not so exciting update and post for the week! Hope you are having a beautiful week and have a wonderful weekend!! Much love.

Happy Friday! I was so blessed and encouraged while reading the comments on my last post (the letter about singleness) and also for all who entered the giveaway! Wow!! If I had a million dollars, I’d so love to be like Oprah and give the giveaway to everyone who commented :)

The next few days are going to be a bit busy!! Tomorrow morning I’ll be photographing a Christmas wedding then afterwards we pack up and head to Indiana for Christmas at my grandma’s (a bit early.) We’ll come back and then I head on out again Monday with a good friend of mine to go to Nashville. We are attending Jeremy Cowart‘s photog workshop, so excited!! So if I’m not on here for days on end, that’s why! For now….I guess it’s time to go and get some sleep before a very early and busy day tomorrow. I still have a little bit of baking to do before the night is over. Much love to you all and I’ll have to do another giveaway in the near future! For now the winner of the giveaway, thanks to random.org is…..

Congrats, Ashlee! I’ll contact you soon for all of the details!
