For our annual Ugly Sweater party Alden scored this lovely sweater at D.I. which actually isn't ugly at all. It has since made appearances in my wardrobe and even graced the grocery store with its hip-ness.

Papa Shaum. So many things about this picture explain my dad. From the "SUP" on his shirt to the tag on his hat. Also, he may or may not be giving a speech here. Mamma Shaum sportin her new jammies.

Chelse gave Ryley a sketch of him and of her to hang on their wall. Isn't she talented? Check out the awesome chandelier my brother made Chelse and the other sketch here.

Going home for Christmas was a much needed break for Alden and I. We jam-packed the week with as much as we could and before we knew it the week was over. We are already planning our next trip back since we can never seem to fit it all in. Thank you family for a great week full of laughter, adventure and fun.

Happy Thanksgiving

Warm and cold
Cozy breaks the ice
Gravy blankets
the mundane reality
Turkey dampens tempers
while sleep takes the pie
Hearts full, stomachs fuller.


Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am grateful for my family, both near and far.

Picture 16

Over the break we had family pictures with my ever favorite photographer/person, Justin Hackworth. Click here to watch the adorable video he put together.(the link is working today, promise!) ..... These pictures are a million miles above the last family pictures we had.... Lets just say they were 8 years ago and happened at our elementary school (you know what kind of photoshoot I'm talking about..... awkward family photo worthy!)
