Halloween TMNT Style!

Could they look anymore miserable? I had to laugh!

I know that Halloween is over but I still wanted to share some of the pictures that I took that day. This year the boys wanted to be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Of course, I obliged, jumping on the chance that we could do themed costumes as a family. I hope that they will continue to let me "theme" in the future. We were lucky enough for my mom to come out again this year for Halloween, and she joined in on the TMNT fun! The boys had a fabulous time trick-or-treating at various Trunk-or-Treats around town and made out with more candy than we know what to do with. The boys were not the most cooperative when it came to picture taking, but I managed to a few good ones in. Thank you for taking the time to read and look! 

Probably my favorite pic of the night!

Family Love

I think of the month of November as a month to remember all the things that you are thankful for. It is the start of the "Holiday Season," which is either your favorite time of year or your least favorite. I feel like there is no in-between when it comes to this season, people either love it or hate it. I have always been a lover of the holidays, and I think all the credit for that goes to my amazing family. I was blessed to be born into a family that not only loves each other, but loves spending time together.  Family gatherings were things that were to be looked forward to, not dreaded like I see with many other families. We gathered together for the pleasure of each others company, and not out of some sense of obligation. I know how blessed I am to have had that growing up, and I hope that my boys will grow up with the same feelings about their family.  I cherish all of the time spent with my family growing up and am truly thankful that a love of this time of year was fostered through years of magical memories with my loved ones. I have been practicing my photography and I am hoping that I can capture some of the love and wonder of this season while my kids are still young. Here's to a wonderful holiday season!  These pictures are from a trip we just took to Bearizona & Sedona this week.
