Cookies and milk are easily a favorite of my little Izzybella's, so trying to come up with a creative session was easy this year. For some reason, Izzy just all of a sudden has become a camera hog, wanting to take selfies quite often and leaving the evidence behind on my phone. While I haven't had a good session with her in a while, she was more than willing to participate in this one. Perhaps the cookies helped! These photos were used for Christmas cards and gifts for grandparents. So sorry to spill the beans, but I figure we are close enough!
Some of you will remember this bear; she has been around since before Izzy was born. My sister's mother-in-law, with help from my nieces, made it out of a blanket that was my grandmother's. The blanket wasn't in the best of condition then, so we keep the bear put up on a shelf so that she doesn't get hurt. We use her only for photos to show how much Izzy has grown over the years. As a newborn, Izzy fit snuggly in the bear's lap. Now, well, Izzy has grown. Such a bittersweet realization. I'm thankful we have this as a way to always remember just how little Izzy was. While she is growing like a weed now, she started out at only six pounds and six ounces, losing down to five pounds and fourteen ounces. At four years old, we can hardly pick her up! She is still our baby, though. If you are thinking about newborn photos and what items to include, I strongly encourage you to find something like our bear. Also, I have a photo of Izzy in my hand - her entire body in my hand (!). This photo hangs on our wall, so I see this every day.
For Santa this year, Izzy has specifically requested to make red sparkle cookies. Wouldn't you know, Walmart had red sparkle icing. Score! We'll be baking and decorating on Christmas Eve, and I sure do hope this becomes a tradition with us.
I sincerely hope that everyone who looks at this blog - and everybody else, too! - has a hap, hap, happy Christmas with many blessings.
Also, don't forget that I offer gift certificates if you are in need of a last minute gift. I can send it straight to your email so that you can download and print it or forward it.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
