Photo session.

So, for Christmas my mother-in-law hired an amazing photographer to come to her home and snap a few photos of our crazy amazing family since we were all together at last (that rarely happens as all the Maples are now married and living in different places). It was so fun, and we are all so silly...and all so close. Nina really captured the essence of the Maple fam and how much we all adore being around one another.

Anyway...here's a few of my favs.

Me and my sis-in-laws, who I adore.

The Maples, Hoaglands, Hochhalters and Thomas'.
So fun.

And me and my Corey.
He's so cute.

And here we are again...appearing to be much more tame and serious
than we actually are.

And how stinking cute is this niece of mine. I just want to squeeeeze her.
She loves the fact that she and Auntie Hannah have matching
cowboy boots :)

The boys. Or, ahem, men. Playing football. Or attempting to.
Rather hard to do when your husband has a 100-pound black lab attached to his leg...
by his teeth.

And, duh. Of course we were going to pull out the extensive collection of rather
amazingly tacky Christmas sweaters and wear them, along with our antlers, in a picture.
I mean, duh.

So there you have it...some insight into my Maple Christmas.
Hope yours was just as lovely.
so sad it's over.
Can't wait until next year.

Have a wonderful Monday. :)
