Season’s Greetings w/Delphine {Philly}

Wednesday, January 5, 2011 Posted in Children, Family, Travel

Now that the holidays are coming to an end I wanted to post a little blog sharing what I did with my time over the holiday’s. In return if you would like to comment and share what you did, I would be glad to read about it.

This year was filled with lots of family time! And this holiday season was no different. My Christmas began with lots of cookie baking which is a very important family tradition. I literarily spent a good week in my kitchen preparing Tot-Tots, Poppyseed cookies, Pizzelles, Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Nut cookies, and ginger cookies.Once the bake-goods were completed I begin to enjoy the snow outside and fun xmas gift wrapping. Which I will admit, I love to wrap presents! Once we left our house in Milwaukee it felt like we hadn’t returned till after the New Year. My husband and I started in Beloit (where my In-Laws live) and enjoyed their traditional tree decorating party. Which is a very special tradition that I have grown to love more than Christmas day with them. Had a pit stop in Chicago for our ‘Friends-Mas’ Christmas party that was hosted at Whitney and Dustin’s new apartment. And then back to Beloit for Christmas Day with the family.

On December 29th we flew back east to have xmas morning with my side of the family. I was particularly excited for this visit because it was my nieces 1st Christmas! I also managed to have several mini-photoshoots with her…and that is what I have chosen to share for the majority of this post. With that being said, I hope you enjoy adorable babies and big eyes & cheeks.

After a lovely xmas morning (celebrated on NewYears Eve morning) at my Mom’s house we went to Philly to spend New Year’s Day in the city. Besides continuing my little obsession with taking photographs of Del we got the opportunity to enjoy the Mummers Parade. I would like to add that I have never experienced anything like it. City Love experiences.

Monday, 3rd of January we met up with my Older Brother, Sister-in-Law and miss Del for one last meal with my Mom before our flight and said goodbye to the City of Brotherly Love until we return again.So, I am leaving all of you with one last adorable photo and wishing all a Happy New Year that is filled with joy, love, adventure, and good health.

You are amazing. I love all of the pictures, you know how to capture emotions and to have the recipient feel the intensity of the photos. I laughed and felt the warmth of your family. I especially loved the photo of Delphine holding the star. It was like she was reaching for the stars, for her future. Again, you are amazing, thank you for sharing your moments of life.
