Feliz Navidad!

Posted in my life

This year for Christmas we decided that instead of buying gifts we would all rent a place in Mexico and spend the week together, relaxing, eating and laughing. And we did just that. I don’t think I have ever spent so much time in my pj’s before!

Nathan is still really into his Thomas trains:
I am obviously biased, but I think my nephew is just the cutest and his little hood makes him look like he is from medieval times! It makes me laugh :)

The birds provided a lot of entertainment :)

I was pretty intrigued by the fact that they stand on only one leg. I thought only flamingos did that.
Curtis found a starfish:
We went 4-wheeling one of the days and found this super cool spot at the end of the day after the tide went out.

My brother-in-law is always cracking me up:

We went to the downtown area for dinner and this gentleman offered to take our picture. I couldn’t refuse it once I saw his camera. So here’s Agostin with his camera:
A close-up of the camera, which he has had for over 30 years!
And a close-up of our pretty awesome picture!

We had a great Christmas and hope that you did too!

When I got back from Mexico last Sunday, I had lots and lots of text messages waiting for me. I had to keep deleting so I could receive the next batch. Lots of them were for Christmas and Holiday wishes. Thank you so much everyone. I am sorry I haven’t gotten back to you, I promise I will. Soon! And one of the texts was from Kat wanting to do a photoshoot with her son and her parents. I called her back and thankfully her parents were still in town! I am so glad we did this. I had a really great time and capture some awesome moments of this family together.

You might recognize Xander, as we did a shoot earlier in the year. Just him and Kat. It’s amazing how much he has grown in such a short period of time.
Kat’s parents were here all the way from Canada:

Xander is so much fun!

I think they have the same smile:

Kat is expecting again. Not really looking very pregnant yet, but we did a “belly shot” anyways:

Such a beautiful family:

Thanks, Kat. It’s always a pleasure spending time with you and Xander and I absolutely adored your parents. I hope you enjoy these! Happy New Year :)

      So cute! I love the two where he is alone with his grandpa (chainlink fence and the last one). Good job!
