Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and Happy Holidays!!!

I got home late last night to my dad's and I'm excited to get my snow boats on and head outside where all the trees are perfectly covered with frost! It's absolutely breathtaking out here at the Hahn Ranch to see the snow covered hills and frost covered trees. 

I have been looking at the weather and pray that everyone gets safely wherever you are heading for the holidays. Spending this time with your friends and family is really the true gift of the season. 

I know children are anticipating the final countdown to Christmas morning.  I have always anticipated the Christmas Eve service with candle light and the traditional carols that uplift and bring a smile to everyones face. It truly brings "joy" to your heart! 

Drive Safely...  Celebrate the Season... and Merry Christmas to you all!

Family Session

Happy Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and Happy Holidays!

I can't believe how fast this year has went. I mean I'm already feeling behind on my Christmas shopping. hee hee  Yes, I am one of those who likes to get their shopping done... oh about a month or two before Christmas!  It works great for the ones I can't wait to buy gifts for. When Christmas gets here I find more gifts I want to make or get for them! 

But more than gifts... this time of the year is about what we have to be thankful for. For spending the time with our family and friends and celebrating in the real reason for the season!

I got home after a wonderful thanksgiving meal with my boyfriends family and sat down thinking about all that I have be thankful for. This year alone I have been blessed in so many wonderful ways. I was worrying about not making time in the past few weeks to be able to blog and share all the great sessions. That's when I realized... WHAT A GREAT "problem"! 

THANK you for being the wonderful, supportive family, friends and clients that you are! I have been blessed to meet many of you for the first time this year, to celebrate with you on the enormous moments in your lives and to capture the memories. 

I have much, much more to so say thank you for, but it is time for dinner. I am off to take share in a meal with family and friends in town for the holiday!  

Take care!  Thank you!

A beautiful Trick or Treat night...

I think last night has to go down for one of the nicest nights for the little trick or treaters!!! It wasn't windy, it was warm and a clear sky to enjoy the almost full moon. The Halloween's I remember as a child we were bundled up and driving through snow storms lots of the time. ha ha! The things parents do for their kids!

I hope everyone enjoyed the night last night!

Last week went by so quickly I realized I hadn't even sat down to right a little note. I spent a majority of the week designing Christmas Cards and then finished the week off with two great sessions.

Friday morning Kinsie and her mom drove up from NE for her senior session. The roads were a little slick most of the way but when they arrived in Rapid we didn't have slick roads to get through but... wind!!! Lots of wind!  Kinsie toughed through it though and we have lots of fun images from the outdoor session!  Thanks for making the trip... You did a great job!

On friday afternoon, Colton and Summer came by for their engagement session. I was thinking the night before when the weather wasn't very good that their trip from Minnesota may not happen, but they made it! I haven't gotten to look at all the photos from the session but they did such a great job that I know there will be lots to pick from! You two have a great relationship of giving and taking and getting through obstacles and distances. I wish you so many happy memories planning this wedding and for all the years after!!! Congrats once again! I'm smiling thinking of how exciting it will see Summer in her wedding gown walking toward Colton and the look that will be on his face!  You two look at each other in a way that makes anyone smile if they see it. Thanks for sharing this time with me! 

The other exciting news this week...

4th of July

Independence Day, what a wonderful day to get together with family and friends to celebrate!  This 4th of July we cooked some amazing kabobs, fruit pizza, blended up some fruit smoothies for the kids, enjoyed some chips and dips and great company. I would have to say after a weekend with family and friends and lots of food, I am ready to go on a seriously long walk!  I also have had the privilege to work on my bean bag skills! If you aren't familiar with bean bags then I will try to give you a little information about the game.  It is a game that consists of two teams with two people on each team. Each team has four bean bags that are a little bigger than the palm of your hand. There are two boards that are at a slant with the ground and have a whole cut in the top part of them.  The gist of the game is to try to be the first team to get to 21 (not go over 21 or you start again at 11).  It's lots of fun and kept all of us entertained for hours! My cousins are the best celebration dancers EVER! Thanks Mike for the victory lap around the block! Ha ha

Also when I was home for the 4th with my family we worked my dad's yearling steers. I enjoyed riding the horses and getting up early to enjoy long full days with my family and how it used to be. If you have ever worked yearlings though, you will understand the frustration that comes with those young steers and the first time they have to be rounded up. I think it took them about 20 minutes to figure out that the open gate we pushed them to was for them to go through. ha ha Also what a fun time!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and enjoyed some time with their family and friends! If you have a fun story to share PLEASE DO!!!!
