Happy 1st birthday to Miss Nattiebug TODAY!  Sometimes, I have to remind me that she is the Hoffman’s second daughter, because oh my goodness, she looks so much like her big sister!  To make little girl’s December birthday special, Natalie’s mama has thought and glued and sparkled and baked up this little darling a fabulous Winter wONEderland birthday party.  The pictures at the end of this post show the fabulousness that is this party.
Happy birthday, little snowflake!

Holy smokes, these are some cute little boys!  They are so well-behaved, too!  Baby Weston is sure to grow up with two excellent examples of big brothers.  And, speaking of the baby, it was funny how he would perk up to the sound of a “raspberry” or “zerbert.” I’m sure there is never a dull moment under the Voss’s roof, but what a wonderful life!  Happy holidays to all of you!

What a great family we have right here!  First, I met Leann (mustard shirt) in college, and shortly after I moved to Davenport, I met Renae (grey shirt) and also the rest of the family.  I am so glad to be living in a community with such great couples.  Once after a BBQ at Brad & Renae’s, we ended up in Rod & Nancy’s basement while a huge storm rolled through.  Though a bit scary at the time, I was thankful for the conversations we had that night and blossoming friendships.  I am excited to watch our friendships grow as our kids get taller and go through school together.
Happy holidays, Heinrichs Family!  You have so many good times ahead!!

Happy holidays to the Keim Family!  Grandma Georgia asked me to come over after church to capture some family pictures while everyone was together.  Those adorable twin girls were baptized earlier during worship.  I also gained an assistant that day as another family member helped me with the “funny face” act to get the littles to smile or at least look at the camera.  (Thanks again!)
What a sweet family you have, Joe & Georgia.  Enjoy them all!

Baby Benson is here!  This threesome graciously came to visit us a couple weeks ago and we got some reallllly cute pictures.  Then, I accidentally deleted them.  (disclaimer: yikes, this is the first time this has ever happened to me!)   So, what’s a girl to do but pack up, drive through the season’s first snow and go to best friend’s house for a re-shoot.  It was sooo worth it!  I got in some more baby snuggles wth Mr. Callen a.k.a. Angry Elf, as his mama sweetly refers.  Really though, he just wants to be held and cuddled.  Don’t we all? Sorry about the double session, guys, I really just wanted to see you again.  Until next time ~ love you all!
