Christmas Dresses

Fernando and I had take the girls to the mall where we found some Christmas dresses on sale. So he let them pick out a dress for the upcoming holiday. Claire absolutely insisted on the green dress even though I tried to convince her to take a deep royal blue. Azure picked out a "Cinderella" dress. It was absolutely gorgeous. I loved it even more because the sale made it affordable.
I took an afternoon and set up the equipment to take some pictures of them in their dresses. They loved to pose for the camera and spin and dance with each other. Allie came over later and we had fun getting all three of them to cooperate. It was no easy task, but we were happy that they looked so so cute!

Christmas Eve

I know it's past Christmas, but I wanted to share. I took these pictures on Christmas Eve. The girls were sitting outside looking for Santa's sleigh in the sky. They were so excited for him to come. The sun was nearly set and I went to grab the camera to get a couple pictures of them. Sometimes, when I have a hard day or I find it hard to go on with my life, I look at these pictures and remember my two little girls that believed in someone that night. I think about how their eyes twinkled and they laughed and were so excited. And in those few minutes on the front porch of our house, all was peaceful. Peace and love are the greatest of all gifts. And they were mine that night.
I believe in Santa Claus.
