A Bright Christmas

This Christmas was a benchmark for our new family. It was Paxton's first Christmas.

As a family we did several things together including driving around and seeing some pretty incredible Christmas light displays.

Which involves parking the car in front of people's house which is kind of creepy.
 

There was some photo taking of course.

We built a Gingerbread house which is ridiculously harder than it looks.

And of course there were Christmas presents.

He wasn't huge on opening presents, but we were pretty excited about some of his gifts.

One of my aunts asked that I take some family photos when they came up from Texas for Thanksgiving.

We were planning on going to Hafer Park in Edmond but we took the pictures on Thanksgiving morning, so we didn't have a lot of time.

I wanted to do some shots that weren't so traditional, but there are not a lot of poses for a "grown up" family without getting corny. So, I focused on backgrounds to keep it a bit more modern as opposed to traditional.

It was a lot of fun.

But a reminder of how special family is... Even brothers and sisters.

And of course, Mom and Dad.
