The Adorable C. Family

This family of eight is so cute! We met at this fun little country park near us and their children were hamming it up at every turn. I loved it!

Oh Baby, Baby, Baby!

I was able to be at my daughter's side for the birth of our first grandchild. What a blessing! So grateful to her and her husband for allowing me to share in such a miraculous and tender moment. I will never forget it. I didn't take many pictures in the hospital, but I am glad I got their reactions. There is no shortage of love for this sweet baby girl. She is the most precious little newborn. Here she is just hours/days old. I love her and her beautiful parents.

My People

We attempted to take our own family photo again this year, first at the beach and then in the country. Each attempt was super quick, with a brother taking one and a tripod the other. It is not the easiest thing. I am vowing to trade with someone from now on. But I love my people, silliness and all.

As soon as I got behind the camera and started taking of just the kids, I was in heaven. Look at this good looking bunch!

***Now for the bloopers***

My tripod had the wrong footing for my camera and my remote was not working, so Bradley and I just held eachother's spots open and took turns snapping away. Here are some of those results. Q was blowing bubbles with his gum, Bradley was modeling, Loren was moving from his spot, haha! It was a Christmas miracle that we got one after all, but oh I love this bunch!

Hermana Hanson

Loved spending a morning with this Sister Missionary. She hadn't been set apart yet at this point, but I am thinking of her and her family today, as now she has been. In fact she is probably on a plane to the Provo Missionary Training Center now. Love her and am praying for this sweet girl.

My Baby's Having a Baby

Look who came to visit for Christmas! It was so incredible seeing my firstborn, pregnant and watching our granddaughter move inside her. She has about 6 weeks to go. She and my son-in-law are seriously my favorite. I love watching them together! I had to take them out in the country and snap a few maternity photos real quick one morning! They were good sports.
