Christmas (2015)

Photo dump of Liv's first Christmas.  Christmas morning she came downstairs, looked at the new gifts from Santa and went to her toy chest to play with her old things.  However, both Liv and I were sick the day after Christmas which forced us to slow down and lounge around the house.  This provided the perfect opportunity to play with all her new toys.  I couldn't tell you which new item is her favorite, but I would say the top three contenders are her baby doll, drum and ball pit. 

Meeting Santa for the 1st Time (2015)

On Sunday we drove down to Stone Harbor to enjoy Brunch with Santa at the venue where Randy and I got married.  The day was exactly how I pictured my wedding to be with indoor/outdoor seating overlooking the bay and the doors wide open to enjoy the 60 degree temps.  However, my wedding day it poured like hell in March with freezing temps. Anyway, even though it does not feel like Christmas in the Northeast, we are happily enjoying the weather while it lasts.  Here are some pics of Liv meeting Santa for the 1st time.  I was honestly surprised when the first official meet and greet went so well.  No tears. A little uncertainty and awe of the man in the big red suit.  But when it came time for her to sit on Santa's lap was a different story.

Christmas Card Photo Shoot 2015

Now that the Christmas cards are out, I wanted to post the photos from our shoot back in October at Batsto Village.  All the stars were aligned b/c we did a 15 minute mini-session with our favorite photographer, Brianne Elizabeth, and the weather was perfect along with a cooperating baby.  This type of time frame can be hit or miss.  I can only guess since it was a success this year, that next year will be an epic failure.
