X-Mas Card Shoot 2009


How did my girls grow up? Their dresses with crinoline, black patent leather shoes, and bows in the hair made them appear just that much older to me. I remember dreaming of the day when I could get them all to pose (using the word loosely) for pictures in pretty dresses. I just adore these sweet faces - even if they are growing up way too FAST!

We took them down to the Brandywine River to try and sneak in some holiday card pictures. After dressing them and doing hair, I was already exhausted but off we went. The excursion proved to fun while providing some quality family time.

Upon arriving, we found the bridge and surrounding area were being turned into an X-Mas tree stand. There was a lot of noise and movement which initially put Adeline at odds with the place. She eventually warmed up. Lila was in heaven because there were rocks everywhere. It is a good thing that her palms don't show in the pictures! She was filthy yet again. Savannah found the tranquil river appealing but enjoyed tossing rocks around with Lila too.

And yes, we got some pictures too. You will have to wait for the card to see my favorites but below are some less perfect but sweet pictures.
