Happy Holidays 2012

So I tried printing out my Christmas cards today but the cards came out all dark for some reason. So I thought I would at least post my work online.
It is always so fun to watch the holidays approach through Nicole's eyes. She often tells me, "I just can't believe that some people don't believe in Christmas". I'm happy that she still does.
It snowed last night and actually stuck and she has been so funny. She said she is building a cave out there so she can live in the snow. I'm thinking that might be kind of cold, but who am I to ruin her fun?!!
I love my little girl and her excitement!!

First day of snow

Yesterday was the first day of snow that we've gotten. It only snowed for about an hour and it didn't really stick. But Nicole was so excited, she was still in her jammies, she bounced up, got dressed real quick and before I knew it, was outside enjoying the snow. I got some good pictures of her and Tank.

A close-up of my little princess...

It seems funny to me that you can't even see the snow in this picture. So I changed locations.

Here you can see a little bit of the snow around the bottom of the tree.

I love this picture of her and Tank. He loves having her in the back yard with him.

Getting close to Christmas...

Well here we are a couple weeks away from Christmas. We had our Christmas party at church last week, which was pretty fun. We had lasagna for dinner and tons of different desserts, which is always good. I got some great shots of Nicole.  Here she is waiting in line with her bff Phoebe waitin' to see Santa.

A couple seconds later...

Made it to the stage, one step away from Santa...

Her dress looked so awesome, like she was the grandaughter of the Claus's.

Finally made it to Santa's lap...

Now she must be getting serious, talking about all the toys she wants...

Looks like she's having a good time there on Santa's lap.

Ah, such a great little picture!!

Needless to say, Nicole is getting super excited for Christmas!!
