A Christmas Photo Shoot…Part 1
Can I tell you that I love this family to pieces…
I love to see the mother look at the camera…with her eyes saying,”This is my family and I am so lucky.”
Can you see the grapefruit tree just full of fruit?…only in Texas this time of year☺
“What is my mommy and daddy doing?”…
“Here is our boy!”…
We just love him to pieces…
“Yippee, the photo shoot is done!”…
How was your Thanksgiving holiday?
As you can see by the images above, we went to Texas to see Little Man’s family on Thanksgiving weekend..
They wanted their Christmas Photo shoot taken while I was there, can I tell you it was a lot of fun?!
This is just part 1 of the photo shoot. I will share part 2 with you very soon.
I would love to share something on a side note with you.
The blog sphere can be a great place of blessing and last week, I have been blessed by someone in this arena.
Kathi, of Summer Setting Blog sent me the new book, “Whispers of Hope” by Beth Moore. When GOD has blessed you and then you turn around and bless others…that my friends is a beautiful thing!!! If you are a christian, you will love her about page on her blog…she is a gift from God. She knows how to encourage and bless. She has traveled the world and has some exciting stories to share. Oh and by the way, she just had a new grandchild!!! How awesome is that? Go visit her and give her some love.
Take care of yourself.

What wonderful captures of your Little Man and family!
What a divine way to spend your time–close to your family and making more memories. Very nicely captured. Also it’s marvelous to see your work again.
I loved your blog, and here’s a piece of my love in the form of this Versatile Blogger Award :

Awww.. These are such wonderful photos. They make me smiling..
You’ve captured their love for each other that’s for sure. So nice that you were able to spend the holidays together.
Magnificient family photos! You are SO good at this! I bet you were thrilled to capture all the love.
Wonderful photos of this happy family!
A very successful photo shoot! I also love the sentiment that when God has blessed you and then you turn around and bless others! Just wonderful and something to think about. Take care!
Given Little Man’s photogenic qualities, I suppose it isn’t surprising how good looking his parents are. Your daughter is a glowing beauty!
Always fun when we can visit with our kids and those grandbabies for sure. What a great looking family and wonderful photos of their happiness. The littlekins is so adorable. Thanks for the link to the blog to visit…I will give a peek. 🙂
You must be so delighted to have an opportunity to take photos of your lovely family! I have to beg mine to get showered and dressed up and then I get a reluctant few shots. You can see the pure love and joy in everyone’s eyes! You’ve really captured their hearts!xx
These photos are all so great! They are such a gorgeous, happy family and you captured them so well!
You’ve captured the joy of your family so beautifully! That little man is too cute. You can tell he is loved and secure and happy. What a blessing. Thanks for telling us about your generous friend, too. So inspiring. I’m going now to check out her blog.
What a beautiful family (little man is growing so fast)! Love that you used the grapefruit tree as the backdrop, it’s so pretty. By the way, it’s really nice to see you even while you’re taking a blogcation Laurie 🙂
