The last day of November officially sets of the Christmas season for me. In my house, we begin the season with Kyra's annual Christmas portrait session. This year will probably be the last time she'll wear the Mrs. Clause dress. It was a pain in the butt to find this year's dress, as most stores stop carrying such styles at 24 months.
This year is sort of nostalgic. It'll be the last year she still harbors her last bit of baby-isms, like the babble that frequently slips into with her slew of new sentences and the way she still runs with her arms bobbing about, half outstretched at her sides.
By this time next year I see her in her full fledged toddler stage. She'll be a blossoming 3 year old with her first buds of little girl starting to appear.
This Christmas, however... This Christmas is mine, to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of my baby enjoying her 1st Christmas all over again, for the 3rd time. By next year she'll start understanding the magic, believe in Saint Nicholas and remember what the decorated tree and presents underneath it are all about.
Until that happens, I'll be here- watching my little Kyra see everything with wide eyed amazement. For the 1st time, for the 3rd time.
These are absolutely amazingly beautiful shots. Out of all the professional ones I've seen in the past year, these ones DEFINITELY top the lot.
