Happy Holidays, everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank each of you for coming by each week. I’ve really grown to love and appreciate You Capture which is simply because of all of you. YOU make it magical for me. There are a lot of new photography memes sprouting up in blog land, I encourage you to participate in as many as you want! You can never take too many photos. (but I appreciate you participating in mine, so very, very much.)

I found my magic in the everyday. My two precious sons sharing their morning together, Noah teaching Eli about Christmas.

Children do simple, unrehearsed things, they do what their will tells them to and it’s magic. Adults, we shop, stay up late, bake, cook, stress, argue, plan…when the magic is right in front of you, between your family, in your living room, existing always.

Our home.

My mom and my daughter, making my Grandma’s recipe. This was magical for all of us. (especially knowing my Grandma was there in spirit.)

and a made up recipe (butterscotch, chocolate chips, m & m’s, etc…) shared in one of my favorite bowls. Sticky fingers, powdery lips, full tummies.

The ordinary turned magical.

And lights! So many lights!  Sunday night we made hot chocolate with whipped cream on top. We then chopped up mint chocolate Hershey Kisses and sprinkled those on top of the whipped cream. We headed out into the cold to look at the area’s lights.
