Merry Christmas!

Behind all the commercial-ism of the season
is the simple story about a family trying to get through difficult times.
And a baby born in a manger.

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

~ Luke 2:10-11

Merry Christmas!

 May you find the blessings of Christmas - peace, love and hope...today and always.

The quest

The quest isn't what you might think it's for...

not a tree.

But that elusive Christmas card picture.

About 5 weeks ago I realized my weekends were pretty full taking pictures of other families.

Except my own.

So I actually scheduled time on our calendar for that Christmas or Holiday picture or pictures.

This session was 'take 2.'

 Take 1 was at an entirely different location and day (and those ended up being my faves).

I rarely dress my kids in traditional red/green colors for the card 

so this was a little different for me.

Though I like them very much (especially the one below),

I didn't 'love' them.

The ones that made the card will be appearing later in December.

But for now these will share my festive mood. :)
