Annual Christmas Card Photos

Since our family moved to the States in 1997, we have taken Semple family pictures every single year. I love this tradition, and I’ll make sure that my own family continues it. I had the honor of being asked to take our good friends’ Christmas photo – I was so thrilled. We took the pictures in the Houston Arboretum at Memorial Park (I am obsessed!). I took about 400 and narrowed it down – my favorites are below. Isn’t “Mister P” precious? He’s 15 months old now – see his 6 month photos that I took here and him at the hospital here. I love this family.

How Fast They Grow

It does not even make sense to me that six months ago, Pierson looked like this. I’m like the crazy “Aunt” who is overly obsessed and takes a ton of pictures, so naturally, I was thrilled when Ashley asked me to take some for his six month anniversary. It was a sunny (but chilly!) day at the park – ready for Easter (I mean, those egg pictures, c’mon!). I took 500 and whittled it down to 97 – my favorites are below. This little man has my heart!

And my favorite… I have a million captions for this one!

Sasha looks just like this when something goes awry during a Texans game.

Our Little Visitors

The past few days (or weeks, or months?) have been super busy, as Sasha has officially moved into The Manor! We didn’t stop moving from Friday after work until Sunday night – packing boxes, moving bags, unloading – buying more and more and more stuff! It’s never ending (but I love it). On Sunday, Sasha’s cousin brought his kids over, as did his best friend. These three cuties made the whole day! I’ll take pictures of the house this weekend – when the Maxwell couches finally arrive.
