Holiday Photo Challenge

The Paper Mama is at it again! :)  She is hosting her Holiday Photo Challenge again this year, and guess what?  I couldn't be more excited because I actually have an entry this time around!  I wanted to enter last year, but was lost on inspiration and ideas until the very last second.  This year, though?  No lack of!

Last year's card:

This year's Christmas photo card is also a special announcement.  Yep!  We have big news!  And we waited until the holiday season to share!  What better way to brighten the holidays than with happy news?!

So, without any further ado... here is our entry for The Paper Mama's Holiday Photo Challenge!

I know that they are a little really busy, BUT, they get all the messages we wanted to send across.  I am soooooo happy with how these turned out!  I am even happier that when I went to print them at Costco, they worked perfectly and I didn't have to waste any money reprinting anything this year!  Always a plus! :)

Happy Holidays!

No Words

I love this picture.  It makes my heart melt!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I'm so excited to finally be linking up with Ashley over at Ramblings and Photos for one of her Scavenger Hunt Sundays!  I have been a quiet follower of hers for a while now, and am so happy to finally be joining in!

Here are my interpretations for this weeks scavenger hunt prompts:

{Dustin and I recently visited the University of Washington campus while Del went to class.  Afterwards, we all met up and had a delicious lunch at University Teryaki (BEST around!).  If you live in the pacific northwest, you know that we don't get as much sun as the rest of the country.  This was an "overcast" day... aka, cloudy day.}

{I am still learning all about photography, and a sun flare, I get these accidentally!  Here is one I attempted to capture on purpose.}

{For the life of me, I couldn't come up with anything for 'seven'. So here is what I ended up doing.}

{Dustin was playing with his Cars 2 cars and I was able to get him to {kind of} work with me for a few snapshots!}

{Again, just kind of playing around.  This is a flamingo that my mother-in-law has in her front garden.  I love them!  They make me smile! :) }
