i'm bursting with excitement.  

back in November we spent a lovely Saturday afternoon in downtown Omaha with one of my best friends Genai Patterson {she says she's not a photographer but I beg to differ} and three lovely assistants {my parents and Genai's little 7 month old Reitz} It was a blast goofing around a lot, taking 300+ pictures, and  then getting some delicious ice cream from Ted & Wally's.    

and here are the highlights.   

tis the season | merry christmas

apparently i love Christmas cards. i just discovered this fact about myself oh maybe 6 weeks ago when i started planning our {very first} Christmas card. we had pictures taken by Genai {click here to view} and i spent an entire Sunday afternoon creating the letter. Aaron informed me that I could download fonts {say what?! hello hours of looking at fonts} and i totally realized why people only send out {at the very most} one holiday update a year. i would cry if the norm was to do one of these with every holiday.
