Christian’s Baby Luau [Photos]

Birthday SmileWell, the first year has come and gone, and we had a great baby luau to celebrate Christian’s first birthday.

And as you’d expect, Papa was there with camera in hand to capture all the fun times. We were so happy that our friends and family could be there to celebrate with us, and even the ones that couldn’t make it were still able to drop in to say Aloha!

As we look ahead to what this next year has in store for our ‘ohana, we are truly blessed with all the support we’ve received during our first year as parents. It’s been so great being able to share the happiness our son brings us with all of you.

Enjoy the photos,

Turkey Day 2011 [Photos]

Gobble, Gobble.

I hoped you enjoyed your Turkey Day as much as we did, and if you’re not already shopped out with Black Friday shopping, maybe some photos from our feast will bring you some cheer.

With this being Christian’s first Turkey Day, and his first birthday less than 10 days away, you just knew we’d be capturing photos, didn’t you? Dinner lasted a little over 2 1/2 hours, so there was so much to do – and our little guy was a true champ throughout.

Enjoy the photos, as well as a few of our favs below:

Holiday Photos from Old Orchard [Photos]

Everything is just coming at us so fast. I don’t know what’s crazier: Thanksgiving just 72 hours away or less than 2 weeks until Christian’s Baby Luau?

I’ll tell you one thing – the holiday season waits for no one. So while we were out getting started on our shopping list Sunday at Old Orchard, we took a few minutes to start letting the spirit sink in a bit, and take some photos in front of one of their giant, decorated X-Mas trees.

Not the last of the season, for sure. But as these weeks go flying by, these two just keeping getting cuter and cuter. We’re so blessed!

Enjoy the photos.

Our Door County Weekend [Photos]

A little out of order, as these were from before Halloween, but our family ended the month of October with our final road trip of 2011.

Last weekend, we made another trip up to Door County, and had some absolutely beautiful weather. Much better than our October trip in 2009, that’s for sure.

And while we were able to enjoy the weather outside, we took advantage of the remaining fall colors to snap a few photos.

Was such an amazing time. Right now, we’re thinking our next Door County trip will be in early February, but obviously there’s a lot to do until then.

We hope you enjoy these photos.
