Easter Sunday

Being a mom on holidays is the absolute best! I know it will become even more fun as my boy grows and understands them, the baking and crafts we will do together... I can hardly wait! This year for Easter we started the day at Church followed by lunch and egg hunting at my mom's home. Isaac is always happy to be outdoors running free! He doesn't understand the whole concept of egg hunting, but he was more than thrilled to carry his bucket around tossing in the eggs he would spot, and looked absolutely adorable doing so.

Easter 2012

I took Isaac to have an Easter photo taken last week, and what should have been me leaving with prints of one pose ended up being me leaving with a disc of all images. I even gave myself a pep talk before going in for his appointment, promising I would stick to the one pose deal I had a coupon for! But once I saw the images of my gorgeous boy there was no choice but to take them all. He was just such a sweetheart, I couldn't bring myself to choose only one or two. So here are a few of my favorites.

Isaac and Santa

My son isn't exactly keen on being held by many strangers, especially men, so as we sat in the 2 hour Santa line I fully expected his first Christmas picture with Santa to be a total melt down. I think he was just so tried by the time we made it to Santa, that he didn't really care at that point. We couldn't get a smile out of him, but regardless, he wasn't screaming for his mama or dada.

I've always thought pictures with Santa were a little weird, waiting in lines and paying high prices to have a quick snapshot of your child with some random old man... but as a parent I feel drawn into these silly traditions now. And I have to say it will be pretty exciting to compare the pictures each year! 

So here is my sweet boy in his first cheesy Christmas picture with Santa!

I know these are pretty late, now that we are in December and the focus is on Christmas and all, but how could I not post these pictures of my adorable boy's first Thanksgiving? We had a great day filled with family and too much delicious food.
