I honestly wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to take family pictures this year!
Between my work schedule on the weekends, Jackson’s schedule coming home for the weekend, the WEATHER, and…my overall desire to pick up my camera for anything that wasn’t being paid for…well. That left one weekend in mid December, and all the stars aligned!!
I almost didn’t do a card this year, because we missed all the deadlines for STEEP discounts at most card vendors, and I honestly like to upload my own simple design that focuses on the image with only a few simple graphics.
Low and behold…I randomly tried Costco! AND…you can upload your own design front and back! Huge for me, because I can never decide on ONE picture to post! And, sorry for those of you that do, but I don’t want a bunch of small images. It’s a GREAT way to share a bunch, but I really like one image of us all looking at the camera smiling, and then a more candid happy shot.
And, no coupon code needed! It was super affordable! This is NOT a sponsored post!!! I wish it was haha. But, just know, you can absolutely print your professional pictures at Costco, with the CAVEAT of marking the button at the end of your check out “do NOT color correct!”
My parents joined us!
Love these shots of them!
And Maya could NOT be any luckier in the big brother department! I kind of feel sorry for any guy that dates her…
Watch out for BIG brothers that LOVE their little sister!
That gap tooth smile…LOVE! And it’s even more gap toothed now! And will be SO gap toothed in few more months!
And…getting this guy in front of the camera is not easy.
I talked a lot about how thankful I was for Maya and my mom in the last post that I did…a few weeks ago-yes, I took a break from blogging for a while.
I need to mention that I couldn’t be more thankful for this guy! The way he looks at me is enough, but what he does on the daily…
Works his ARSE off to provide for us, while working from home and no longer traveling so that he can be HOME. He made a conscious decision to try something different because he wants to be with us, which speaks volumes to how lucky our family is to have him.
Does he “complete” me? No, but he compliments me in just about every way. Literally is not only the yin to my yang, but the yin to my yin, and the yang to my yang! In ways that I never thought I needed someone to compliment me. And I don’t mean saying nice things to me, although he does that too.
