Since I was just back on Xmas, thought I'd share the santa photos we had taken this year. I was absolutely stoked with them.
We normally head into Smith and Caughey's, but this year, even getting there just as the doors opened, the ques were so long we decided to flag it.
So instead we decided to go to our local mall and have them done there. The kids choice. And I have to say how thrilled I am with them.
This next one is my all time favourite.
This year, we decided to 'pay it forward' and paid for the person who was behind us, photos too. The photographer/elf couldn't believe we were doing this, and the lady who was after us, chased us down to thank us. Was a little embarressing, but quite special. I hope it made her day, like it did ours.
Looking back at these photos makes me freak out a bit. The kids are just growing up so quickly.
Anyway, last night was New Years eve for us here in NZ. Was talking to a friend in the States this morning and he said I was "from the future", interesting thought.... so Happy new year to you all! I hope you have a wonderful night (if you're still to go through it) and a safe and prosperous 2014! But above all, may your health be strong and good.
Super gorgeous photos and a lovely gesture with pay it forward. HAPPY NEW YEAR to the McClune family.

Absolutely beautiful pics and I love the bottom one a lot! That's a beautiful set up though, I don't think I've ever seen a chaise lounge used before and the back drop is gorgeous.
