Merry Christmas!

A Christmas photo shoot story in pictures...

These brothers truly love each other.

Big brother Alex is 3.5 years

Middle Brother, Henry, is 21 months.

Baby Ben, is 9 months.

Henry loves to give Ben sweet kisses.

Alex is interested in nature.

Henry is determined to ride something with wheels.

These boys simply cannot resist mud. They found it a mere 2 minutes into the photo shoot.

The end result - super muddy hands...a little boy's ideal Christmas photo. =)

What an evolution of photos we get each year of our boys. This year the entire photo shoot lasted about 3 minutes. Such fun, though! Glad we get to capture them in action and get a few to put on the Christmas card.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Why, Hello Fall!

Guess it's better late than never. I've learned that Fall in Houston is late...as in, Christmas almost came first kind of late. But at least it comes.

This year the colors are amazing. We are enjoying being outside and savoring the beauty all around us. My boys love to play in the leaves and we are enjoying bike rides on the trail with leaves falling all around us. It is making for a colorful holiday season this year. Many people enjoy a blanket of white this time of year, but we have been blessed with a blanket of red, yellow, and orange. It makes quite the Christmas decor!

My big boys.
