Last year it was the 28th, and the year before? The 24th. This year, Christmas is on December 23rd. Well, thats the day we celebrate at home with the kids anyway. Well, not exactly- Christmas is about Jesus's birthday and that isn't necessarily 12/25 anyway. But, Christmas is celebrated on December 25th, every year. We've … Continue reading Christmas, not always December 25th, for us
I take them outdoors to formally take photos with my Nikon, somewhere around peak foliage or mid- October each year. At 2 and 4, I rarely get both to look in the same direction anymore and really encourage Hunter to not give a cheeeeees(y) smile.
