My oldest daughter has been demonstrating her growing independence and her new sense of style these days. Her new favorite pants are these orange leggings with candy corn on them that she got at Halloween. I don’t know what made her take such a liking to them this January but she wants to wear them EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. When she wanted to wear them to the park a few weeks ago with her purple sweater, I started to try and persuade her to change.

This is what I found after my daughter was playing with her doll house.  Visit 5 Minutes for Mom for more Wordless Wednesdays.

After spending Christmas morning at our house with my wonderful in-laws and grandpa in law, we went to PA this weekend to celebrate with my parents and my brother’s family. I just had to share some more candid gems because they just warmed my heart and I feel my hubby did a great job of capturing the love and fun of our day together. We all had lunch together on Sunday and afterwards the youngest two of our crews took naps while everyone else enjoyed a relaxing afternoon of play.

Christmas provides you with many gems…photos which capture the moment, in real life. Nothing like posing in front of the tree to bring out the true personality of your child. Yes… this is def what I meant when I said , “Smile in front of the camera so Mom can have a picture of you in your nice church clothes.” I love this pic… I am entitling it Christmas bliss… I love that it is not posed.
