Baking cookies....making memories!

My mom came over today to help us start our Christmas baking.  I love to bake but I just don't seem to make the time for it anymore. 

The kids had fun adding ingredients and rolling the dough balls in sugar to make the Peanut Blossom cookies.  One of my favorites.  We managed to make chocolate chip cookies along with the others until I ran out of salt of all things.  I think I run out of an ingredient every time I start to bake.  At least I got two of the cookies made.  Next up, Buckeyes!!  Yum! 

Here are a few pictures of our creations...hope it doesn't make you too hungry!

Thomason Family

Where do I begin? 

I am Co-leader to my daughter's Girl Scout Troop.  The leader of the troop and my friend, Mandy contacted me about doing some family photos before the Christmas holiday.  I met up with them at Hamstra Garden's at their request.  I've done one other shoot there and it's absolutely gorgeous with so many photo opportunities.  A photographer's dream!

It was a beautiful day for pictures.  The sun wasn't out all day and then just before the session we got this gorgeous golden glow. 

I have to say this family was up for fun today!  Lots of laughter!  I mean LOTS! ;)~  We ventured all over capturing group shots and individuals and then we ended the session with candid moments.  As a photographer....candids are by far the best!  I love capturing those special moments that aren't created or posed! 

Thanks again, Thomason Family!  You were all great!!

I hope you enjoy your preview this evening...
