Fantastic Four

 As promised, here are more pics of the gorgeous family I had the pleasure 

of photographing a few weeks ago in their home...

I loved every minute of this shoot, and laughed so much my sides hurt- 

thank you Mr. Big Brother for being such a ham and a delight to shoot!

Christmas Morning Part 1

Joyeux Noel!

One of the best parts of being married to my incredible man is that he 

loves Paris & french food almost as much as I do!

That being said, it wasn't hard for us to come up with our Christmas Eve menu;

we watched Disney's Ratatouille while making our own,

and served it up with some delicious crab & baguette.

Vive la France!

With full tummies we moved on to new pajamas,

 Christmas stories that never fail to make us cry,

and a homemade treat for 'ole Saint Nick.

Marshmallow Men

Marshmallows are big around here.  In fact, the store of minis I keep in the cupboard for making fondant is constantly shuffled around like a key witness in a safe house.  I've never been a big fan, myself, but we do all sorts of things for the ones we love-

even suppress a wicked gag reflex to play a game of Chubby Bunny with the hubby.

Yep.  

I love you that much, Babe.

Down by the Bay

One of the great Christmas adventures we took this year was a trip through Willard Bay's fantasy light display.

It's one of those places we've driven past repeatedly and had yet to experience-

and it was amazing!

A huge state park completely decked out in light displays, free horse-drawn wagon rides, s'more kits for roasting around the bonfire, and, of course, 

a visit with the big man himself.

And, for the first time in my life, I tried a deep fried oreo:

Mmmehh.

Luckily neither that or the arctic temps could damper the holiday spirit!
