Christmas 2015

We spent Christmas Eve with family (the Reisners & the Cooks). Dinner, the Christmas story, fun with cousins...

& then we were going to take a sisters selfie, but Payson kept popping into the frame. It became a challenge to get a selfie without him in it...

...which then initiated the interest of others...which eventually turned into resignation & laughter...c-5...and then the quest to get everyone squeezed into one selfie. Hmm, I sense the formation of a new holiday tradition.c-6

And here's Christmas morning. Keeping tradition (a tradition initiated from my grandma Freestone) everyone is drinking their juice before being permitted to go in and see the presents. c-7c-8c-9c-10c-11c-12

Kelsi & Taylor luncheon

The groom's family organized a beautiful luncheon! I was in love with the beautiful floral centerpieces, the food was delicious (one word- churros!), the program was adorable (all the siblings got to share fun quirks & advice about their sibling for the new in-law) and the entertaining space (minus the cold weather) was perfect (there was place for the kids to be occupied so the adults could visit)!

Lynnae wrote the cutest poem. I'm mad that I didn't catch all of it (or that I didn't tape anyone else...I was taking pictures though), but here's a snippet.

Kelsi & Taylor Lysenko wedding

I got to be the official wedding photographer for my my youngest sister this past weekend. She married Taylor, (a fun loving boy from Connecticut who perfectly compliments Kelsi's own fun, spunky personality), in the Gilbert, AZ temple. It was a beautiful wedding & Kelsi & Taylor were a beautiful couple that had a contagious optimism that I believe shines through in the pictures.
(Oh, & I have to put a plug in for a man named Farai. He was the wedding videographer and he was a joy to work alongside. For anyone interested in a videographer, his # is 602-552-4556 & his email is Fjk747@gmail.com).
