Holiday Family Photos With Tweens: Take 1-9

Fun Family Photos

Getting that perfect holiday photo doesn’t get easier as the kids get older. I wish it did. Getting great holiday family photos with tweens can be stressful. You don’t want to be too serious, but you can’t let the shoot get out of control. You want to capture their personality without them photobombing the Christmas [...]

We were spoiled by the amazing Social Media Celebration staff, and one of our generous gifts was a PhotoPass+.

Michael-text

I went to lunch with my friend Breanne yesterday, leaving the boys at home with their dad. Steve is nearing the end of his master’s degree program and is working on his capstone project, so I told the boys to behave and try to let Dad get work done. Jack is going through some crazy phase. [...]

We rode and rode and rode… Our final estimation is that we went on our family’s two favorites – Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror – a combined 25 times, and we found that there are downfalls of riding too many rides. You went on too many rides at Disney World if… 1. [...]
