Merry Christmas!

The next few days are going to be a bustle of craziness......but I thought I would throw up a quick greeting and a view of our Christmas Card this year.






Please note the typo....thank God I did it on my card only:) Too many things going at once....but I am ready to settle down for a lovely, fun, and PEACE-filled Christmas.

Rejected Christmas Card Pictures

Ridiculous. That is how I describe my life these days! Too say we've been busy would be an understatement. *sigh* I see the light at the end of the tunnel though, and that is encouraging.

In an update to all that's going on, I will give you the brief bullet points
  • Our house is still for sale. The house I wanted is not availalbe at this time. It is possible it will be availalbe later (which isn't necessarily bad that ours has had no interest right now) but it is a huge huge huge question mark. I have decided to let it go, let God do his thing, and keep my options open.
  • Thanksgiving was nice. Had a nice huge family meal, stayed up all night with my friend, sis and mom shopping that night and into the next day, and got some great deals. My mom got a puppy, the stinkin' cutest puppy in the world. Merry Christmas Mom! Some day Lucy will get that peeing and pooping on the floor is not necessary.
  • My sabbatical will start this weekend. I put in my last order of the year yesterday and today, and thank you sweet sweet SWEET Lord I will be taking a much needed break into January. I still have some gorgeous senior pics I gotta finish up and a website to work on as well as some business stuff I need to get ironed out. There will be some big changes made to MyHouse Photography.....it is no longer a hobby, it is a business, and this crazy season has shown me I need to treat it as such. I am very much looking forward to cleaning, baking, and spending some quality time with my much neglected husband and kiddos!
SO........back to the title. I worked on our card and have one that is absolutely fabulous if I do say so myself! I am WAY excited to get those finished up this weekend! My mom had bought cowgirl hats and boots for the girls this year, so I decided we would incorporate them into the card shoot this year. Not every pic was Christmas card appropriate....so I thought I would share a few of those! Admitedley...most of them have to do with Maebree and her goofy faces.


Don't worry....I got some good ones in there too:) Not that these aren't good...they pretty well tell the story of the evening...Em is confident she was born to be a superstar model, Faith is cooperative and beautiful, and Maebree is..well.....Maebree:) My favorite of the whole shoot: Faith is sweet and perfect, Emmy is giggling, and Maebree is fabulous!
