Scrabble Sundays: Let it Snow

We don't get snow here in the Silicon Valley, California. I'm sure that some of you went all Hulk with envy as you wake up at 5 am to shovel your car out of an avalanche of snow. Before you pelt me with snow balls think about how much it adds to the holiday spirit. We have had several sunny Christmases in the 70's. It just doesn't quite feel right. The grass is always greener with envy.

I chose to write "Let it Snow" today because for some reason I can't stop singing it this season. My favorite Christmas songs are "All I Want For Christmas" and "Baby It's Cold Outside" (though it's got a bit of a predatory vibe). Still, this has been what I sing all day. What are your current songs you just can't get out of your head? Holiday or otherwise.

New Hampshire: Snow Day

I know. This is a lot of photos from one trip. When you have a photographer who doesn't know when she is going to see these sweet faces again she's going to take as many pictures as she can. And I did. This is probably the last post though. Then I will have some pics from some recent shoots and a new maternity shoot.

(in case you can't tell, yes she is feeding him snow. apparently that is what they do for fun in the snow. so silly)

As I was setting up the frames for our maternity pictures of course the kiddos had to play with them. And I'm glad they did. I just love the little masks they wear out in the snow. Once you see how much snow they eat while out there you begin to understand why they need face protection. =)

XOXO,

New Hampshire: Girl's Day

Last Thursday we had a girl's day out in Keene, NH. The boys got to have their time drinking bourbon, smoking cigars, and doing things boys like to do. So, for our time we did what girls like to do. Cupcakes, craft store, and cuddling ferrets and kitty cats. It was a lot of fun!

We went back home and Leah and I began making crafts for Baby Bear. I have to photograph and share the ridiculously adorable and sweet things she made for our little bun. We are so lucky to have such a crafty and thoughtful little lady in our family!


(In regards to the photo below: we did go left after I took this. We're rebels like that.)

(Leah took the picture of Sophie and I- love that little girl!)

Miss them already!

XOXO,

Tenley

Week 27: Snow Bunnies

We took this weeks pictures in New Hampshire. This is right outside their house. I have trash cans and an uneven driveway right outside my house. It snowed quite a bit while we were there, which is quite lovely when you are from California and never get it. Even more lovely when it's not your responsibility to shovel it everyday. My absolutely wonderful sister-in-law spent so long snow-blowing and shoveling for us to take pictures and go play outside. A big thank you and a Happy Birthday yesterday to one of the sweetest people on this planet, Leah!

Though I am so glad that I am not going to be pregnant when it's really hot, it's tough when you start outgrowing your coats. Hopefully it warms up a little bit soon because they aren't going to last much longer.

Victoria of Garden of Eden Designs asked me do to an interview for her blog and it's up now. You can see it here. Make sure to check out her whole blog. It's wonderful and full of inspiration! Thanks Victoria for letting me be a part of your wonderful I Wonder Wednesday series!

Hope you all had a lovely Wednesday!

XOXO, Tenley
