merry christmas

O Christmas Tree

Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas day! Here's a bit of whimsy from our house to yours today.

Merry Christmas!

moroccan birthday {Epcot}

David and I had fun at Epcot celebrating my birthday yesterday. I am now 35! Wow, it seems like a big number to me. I got in free since it was my birthday, and got to wear a HUGE birthday badge that said, "Happy Birthday, Kristina." I don't think I've ever been wished "Happy Birthday" by so many strangers before. An amusing experience for sure.

We ate a late lunch at the Marrakesh Moroccan restaurant, and it was incredible! The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. I would highly recommend it. It was a great all-day date, topped off by our favorite Christmas program, the "Candlelight Processional." Thanks for a fun day, David! I love you :)

ballet week

It's that time of year again. Time for what I call "ballet week." It's become a tradition in our house over the last three years since the girls have performed in the "Nutcracker." It was a very full week: Monday--staging class, Wednesday--dress rehearsal, Thursday--recital. The girls love getting their hair fixed in a nice bun and putting on real make-up. I have become much more proficient in such things as well. This year, it was a treat to have their Auntie Yvonne here to watch them dance too. Thanks for visiting, Yvonne, it was fun to have you!





On a side-note, it's my birthday today! I'll post some pics later--David and I have a fun day planned at Epcot. I'm excited!

Sarah + Aaron

It's been so rainy and cloudy lately, but the skies cleared just in time for us to have nice weather for our little shoot. Sarah and Aaron were fun to work with. Here's a few favorites.

20 weeks

It's hard to believe I'm already at the half-way point. But, it's true.
20 weeks. They've really flown by so quickly.
Life is busy and full in a good way.
I am blessed!
Here's the baby bump again.


A big thank you to my friend, Emily, for taking these photos for us today.

winter in Orlando

It's still not what I'm used to. Such nice weather in the "winter" time. An oxymoron to me. If you know me well, you know that I'm not a huge fan of the climate in Florida. I'd rather have a nice cold winter and a pleasantly warm summer. Not a pleasantly warm winter and a summer from....well, you know where.

But, you gotta make the most of where you live. And, so we've enjoyed the beach a few times recently. I really love the beach.

Happy Winter from Orlando!
