We got to spend Thanksgiving with my family in OKC this year. Holden is absolutely in love with my dad. I have no idea what the deal is, but whenever my dad is around, he goes absolutely nuts and either follows him around everywhere or wants to be held by him. It’s so crazy….he literally wants nothing to do with me or Jay and just totally ignores us when he’s around him. Holden was sitting on my dad’s lap this afternoon watching a Christmas movie and Jay and I walked out together with bags because we were loading the car and Holden looked up at us and said “Bye”. He was totally content with us leaving and him staying there!
So after we forced Holden to come back to his terrible life in Texas with us, we got all the Christmas decorations down and put up the tree. Each year, we light a fire (no matter how warm it is outside), put on a good Christmas movie, make some hot cocoa, and put up the tree. I just love our tradition. Although this year, it was a little more difficult with Holden wanting to help out. He just walked around picking up ornaments and saying “ooooh”….! At first I thought he was thinking that the decorations were so pretty and then I realized his little one year old mind was most likely thinking “oh, more cool stuff of mom’s that I can take and hide in random places all around the house so she’ll never find it”. Um yeah, lately you never know what you’re going to find in our house. Shoes in the laundry basket, a cup of 4-day old, curdled milk behind the curtains, our undergarments in his rocket, floss and a cow floating in the toilet, my credit card in a watering can in the backyard. Holden definitely keeps us on our toes lately!
On another note, here are some images of my last senior of the year. Guys are usually a little harder than girls because they’re usually not as excited to get their pictures done and would rather show up for a quick shoot and then leave. But I just couldn’t let this one escape so quickly! He brought great clothes, the best sunglassess AND his guitar! On top of that, we had a cool location and he was a great model so there was no way I was letting him off the hook! Sorry for all the work I made ya do! But we got some awesome images and I think it was worth it!
From here on out, I’m not taking any more sessions for December. I’ll be wrapping up some orders but other than that, I’ll be resting and enjoying the holiday with my family. I’ll still be posting some so be sure and check back over the break!
