Ermshar Family – Christmas Spirit!

I would like the thank the Ermshar family for helping me get into the Christmas spirit. As you know I was holding onto Fall with both hands and my teeth… 😕 But it was this family’s family session that finally pushed me over the edge and full into the holiday season.  😀

The Ermshars wanted their session to have a Christmas theme so they chose the perfect location -Tapaan’s Christmas Tree Farm off of 72nd – Which I would like to thank Tapaan Farms for being so generous with us – telling us to feel free to roam and shoot wherever we would like. And they even tracked me down after I left some equipment behind!  😀

I loved the plaid and the red, the Christmas trees and fake snow – it was so fun!

I now have lights on my home, a tree in my house (yes Lucy has knocked it over) decorations around, candles burning (yes we have already had a small fire this year – Be careful with your candle placements!) And my Christmas cards are ordered! I have yet to buy a single gift…I guess I better get on that!

The problem with holding Christmas off until after Thanksgiving is that it is suddenly coming at you- and not gently trotting down the lane like a horse drawn carriage- No, it is coming at you like an out of control freight train!!!!!!!  😯 The trick is to not get caught up, remember to take deep breaths, enjoy moments, give yourself a break and focus on what truly is important!  🙂

The Same

I pull out {the same} ornaments each year. I love the history, the memories of them! My brother and I use to fight over who would hang this Santa on the tree…I don’t remember how I ended up with it but I’m happy it is on my tree each year  😉

And with that picture I have completed 11 months of my Project 365! It looks like I’m going to make it! I’m excited that I have stuck with it and I look forward to printing an album of this years pictures  😀

Winter

I know {winter} isn’t officially here for a few weeks but who are they kidding? It is COLD outside and the leaves are all gone and it’s December so therefor I declare it {winter}  🙄

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate each one of you that take the time to read!
