Each year we are so blessed to get to dress up and get family portraits. At then end of the year, we use the images for our Family Christmas Card. This year, our great friend Shillawna took a few family portraits for us right before it started to rain. Luckily, our family did amazing and we were able to quickly capture our family portraits and some fun candids too. We are so blessed to have these images and so thankful Shillawna rocked our family session despite the weather and hustle to capture these in such limited time! You are amazing my friend!
This year we celebrated Christmas at home with our family of 6. Our traditions include Christmas Eve lunch as a family somewhere nice like TGI Fridays {that’s where we ate this year}, a car ride while drinking hot cocoa to see Christmas lights, we go to our candlelight church service and celebrate the birth of our savior and then when we get home we open up Christmas P.J.’s.
On Christmas morning after the gifts are opened and we’ve eaten breakfast…we always watch a favorite movie. This year, we all voted on The Lion King. Talk about a cry fest in the Shank House! Then we started a new tradition this year! Nerf Wars! What a wonderful Christmas this has been and we are so blessed to share a little of ours with you.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
