PS.  Sorry I’ve been gone for so long.  But I’m back!

Thank you Cinderella…..as Maddie said on her delightful day, “This is the BEST Party EVER!!!”.

For Christmas this year, I want a new baby brother or sister. If its a baby brother, I will teach him how to build blanket forts, throw ball, and make mud pies. If its a baby sister, I will still teach her how to build blanket forts, throw ball, and make mud pies. We can play choo choo train and watch Curious George together, and eat ice cream until our bellies ache. If I can have this Santa, I promise I will be good forever. By the way, can I also still get all the toys on my list as well???

Love,
Evan

And Evan, Santa delivered your Christmas package early this year. On October 15th, little Mia Catherine was welcomed to the Arnold household. Along with a whole lot of bribery, we were able to capture the sweetest moments of this beautiful family. Happy Holidays to all of you….

xoxo-

So I couldn’t resist telling Amber and Brian that we needed to do their holiday session in the vineyards. Of course, it offered yet another opportunity for some tasting!!! They love wine, I love wine…it was the perfect compliment. and for little Lindsay…the perfect opportunity for her to be herself with no constraints…loved her purple dress with princess high heels. Yes, she had to wear her fancy best shoes. The baby doll….only once or twice did Lindsay allow her to be put down. Many new adventures for the Ross family this holiday season and for the new year. So here is a little peek of our glorious outing…. enjoy Hawaii and Happy 5th Anniversary!!!
