our christmas

   

Christmas was heaven this year.
The husband is a spoiler, for me & lex.
he kinda got jipped this year, sorry ty

I have been struggling with different problems with my camera or lenses the past couple of months and i have been longing for a new lens! He waited for a good 10 minutes before he even brought me my present in. Making me wonder if he really did make the splurge, and he did.
and i was super thankful and could not appreciate it more!!

I get that camera equipment is expensive,
especially now since I am not taking on photo sessions any longer.

But capturing beautiful little memories of our family in pictures is priceless to me,
and worth every penny.
so thank you ty!! i love it and appreciate it more than you will ever know!

I wanted to capture lexi's christmas in video so I made a small little clip
to remind me of her that christmas morning, when she was 2.
I am pretty sure this is going to be our new christmas family tradition.

We looked like paparazi all lined up, me, my mom, and dad...
all with cameras & cell phones up and ready..
lex got a little embarrassed when she came down stairs..
oh and don't mind my husbands matching pj's with lex ;)

it's so different holding christmas at our place.. kinda not the same as my parents!
Christmas Eve,
we picked up last minute things & went out for lunch,
got Christmas Eves dinner ready/my mom & ty did..
got everything finished for Christmas morning, headed to Tyson's grandparents for the nativity reading, came home made Santas Cookies, watched a video from Santa, set out the cookies & milk and Santas Key, had a late night snack, and tucked baby girl in bed!

Christmas Day,
Woke up to presents, played with every. single. one.
lexi's only request all season was that she wanted a slide..
my mom fixed Christmas dinner, went on a drive to see Christmas lights,
then decided to go to a movie (guilt trip) -lexi did amazing & i LOVED just being with my family and enjoyed just being at the movies -it used to be one of my traditions growing up but it's been hard to keep up with it since Lexi was born.
then enjoyed our last night with my parents
