Xmas Shoot

Since Stella will be 6 months on December 19th, I decided to do a photo shoot for the Christmas card. Last year I just made the card, but I wanted to get a nice one of all of us.  Even though Noah wined through the whole thing and Stella can't sit up by herself, and I was threatening and bribing my son to behave and smile, we still got some great, frame-worthy pics. Enjoy the sample ones below. @appletreephoyograpy by Sarah Sidor

Someone is Thankful

I stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get a muffin on my way to work because we have no food. We desperately need to go grocery shopping. I pull in to the drive through and there is a wild turkey just standing in line. My city has moderate traffic and mostly businesses off the main road. It's not like I live in farm country. I was surprised to see this massive bird just standing there. The other cars must have been equally amused because I wasn't the only one taking pictures. Looks like he should be pretty thankful he survived another Thannksgiving.

Fave Time of the Year

I heart the Christmas season. I have dozens of happy, fond memories from my childhood and now that I have children it's so much fun to relive and create new memories for my kids. The day after Thanksgiving we set up our tree and put up decorations. It's so wild that this time last year we were announcing we were pregnant with Stella and now here we are!! 

BTW: bungee cords are great child restraints ( hehe)
