Lucy’s 3rd Birthday!

Posted in Babies, family, portrait  by Carrie

Lucy turned three today. It was a great party full of laughter and cute kids! Dave made her a chalkboard out of an old window, Lucy approved:) Seeing the joy on the faces of six little girls definitely put a smile on my face. Enjoy!

Dress Up!

Posted in Babies, family, portrait, Thoughts  by Carrie

Dave and I love making Christmas gifts for our family. I have many fond memories of fashion shows my cousin and I would put on when we visited our grandparents. There was a big box full of dresses, and a dresser drawer full of jewelry and shoes for us to parade around in:) So, this year we made dress up boxes for each pair of nieces. I had more fun getting costumes, feather boas, clip on earings, tiaras… I think I might have had more fun putting it all together than the girls will have dressing up! The boxes were a hit, and the girls wasted no time trying out the goods.

Enjoy!

With all of the holiday bustle I just realized I forgot to include the slideshow for Hamish & Gracie the bulldog’s portrait shoot. It’s too cute not to share. Enjoy!

Favorite Things

Posted in family, favorite things, news, Thoughts  by Carrie

Merry Christmas! The holiday rush is over and I’ve got some fun blog entries to capture what a great holiday it was for the Miles Family. Dave and I decided not to get a Christmas tree this year… it’s a long story but, after getting all amped up about that pine tree scent, going out to a special ‘Christmas tree’ breakfast at IHOP, and then driving for over 30 minutes on slick roads in a blizzard to our tree farm of choice only to find that it wasn’t open, well… we opted for plan ‘B’ … I filled up a basket I have on loan with our Christmas ornaments, put it on our coffee table and put our tree skirt & gifts under the coffee table. It was fun and quirky just like us :) . Each month I’m going to do a favorite things blog, so here is the first one. Enjoy!
