Family Photos 2013

For the first time ever, we decided to have professional photographs taken of our family. Since Bryan is a photographer, we've always justified not needing to hire one. We realized we don't have many photos of all of us together, so our friend Lauren photographed us at a hiking trail in Calabasas. It ended up being REALLY windy that day, so our hair is pretty messed up and my eyes wouldn't stop watering. Lauren did a great job despite the rough conditions and got some incredible shots of Willa!

Holidays 2013

We recently got back from a great trip celebrating the holidays with family.
LA----->Detroit----->Cleveland---->Detroit---->LA
A lot of travel, snow and cold, but its always worth it to be able to be "home" for Christmas!


Willa at LAX



We went to the Original Pancake House for breakfast one morning and got to see cousins Gavin & Bennett, Uncle Matt and Aunt Kristen. Willa and Gavin had so much fun together!



Willa & cousin Kate at Greenfield Village. We had a great night exploring with cousins! It was a bit cold, and we've noticed that the longer we live in LA...the bigger wimps we become. 


Willa and Daddy at the mall right in front of Santa Claus. This is as close as she would get to Santa. He blew her a kiss and she blew one back. 



Willa, Kate, Grant, Oliver and Ben. Its always the best watching Willa with her cute cousins (Thanks for these 2 photos, Linds)


All of us on Christmas morning wearing our PJ's from the PJ exchange we did Christmas Eve!


Passed out on the couch after a long day of opening presents, playing with cousins, and eating. 


The day after Christmas, we drove to Cleveland to visit Poppy and Kiki. 


Willa playing Poppy's drums.


We met cousins Katie and Alexis at the Great Lakes Science Center. It was Alexis's birthday and the girls had so much fun together!



Kiki, Gus and Willa. It was fun to see how well Gus has adjusted to his new home. He is the sweetest, calmest, and most playful little guy... and its safe to say that Poppy and Kiki have fallen in love with him.
