harrell family shenanigans.

my snuggle bunny.

i am so sad eliza wants to grow her hair out.  i love this "ramona beasly" haircut.

brad rockin' the rock star shades.

mom stopped by for a visit during our shoot.  i love my mommy!  she is the bestest.

eliza was not digging our second location choice.  she was worried about ghosts and spiders.  she got smiley when we bribed her with a blow pop!

oh how i love these rolls!  i told ryder that i wanted to fry up his fat baby legs and eat them.  brad looked at me with a disturbed expression.  : )

i love these two shots!  i think i am going to get canvas prints of these 3 black and whites for ryder's room.

thanks hannah for capturing these wonderful images for me and my family!  oxoxo

i am also going through some of my personal photos from 2009 that are still prisoners of my computer.  i take tons of photos of my family, but they just get dumped on a hard drive and forgotten. : ( one of my goals for 2010 is to keep my personal photos up to date and to banish the big bucket o photos forever!

my husband and eliza have gone to floydfest for the last three years.  it is a wonderful family friendly music festival in the gorgeous blue ridge mountains of floyd virginia.  last year was the first year that i got to go since i am usually working on the weekends.  it was also ryder's first music festival and camping experience.  he was a great little festivaler at 2 months of age.  : )  we had such a great time as a family at the festival.  i plan to block off that weekend every year and make it a family tradition to go to floydfest.

there was a costume parade for all of the kids.

the second line weaving through the crowd.

eliza's favorite thing....face painting!

mel and tim could not make it to the festival, but this is her sister alison and ryder.

our friends brannon and sarah.

the kids area is so great.  there is a huge wooden boat, a dress up area, and a kid's stage.  eliza got picked from the audience to be in a play.

one of my favorites, peter rowan.

nana likes to smile.....

and chris likes to be serious

totally their personalities...very sweet...

i could shoot here every day of the week .... and they have good martinis

I still can't believe this amazing place is in greensboro!

did I mention that it was like negative 50 degrees this day?  nana is brave. very brave.

love these cool blue suede shoes....elvis ain't got nuthin on molly!

getting their party hats ready.

molly and her crew.

the ceremony was at castle mcculloch.  i love the giant chandelier.

molly's girls rock!  they changed the lyrics from "hey micky" to "hey mattie" and choreographed a dance to go with the song.  it was awesome!

matt and molly thought it was great too.  : )

almost midnight.....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
