Happy New Year~

The last big day of raking leaves(back in November) there was the biggest pile ever mixed with red leaves from our Japanese maple tree and it was gorgeous. So, of course, we had to take just a few pictures. Once the leaves turn red they don't stay on for very long and the last few years I missed them. This ended up being the perfect backdrop for our Christmas card pictures.
The two best ones even though Mikayla didn't want to put her green sweater on or put her hair down, I didn't even care. It's just true to life. It's a big deal for them even to pose for me, they only do it because they love Landen.
So sweet!
I really like this one too. If only Landen had a little smile.
Landen's 5 months old here.
Love it!
Daddy kept taking Landen's leaves away and he did not like that.
Zach wants nothing to do with it, but sweet Mikayla stays put so Landen doesn't fall over!
Such a little cherub!
Behind the scenes. Pun intended.

What a wonderful 2009 for our family! Praise God for all the wonderful blessings He brought to us, especially Landen Alexander! This will always be a special year because of you sweet boy!

You have a lot of leaves, but they make a beautiful background! Christine are you laying down to take them?
