family time

This blog is usually filled up with weddings and photo shoots all year long, so now that it’s holiday time and photo season is mostly over, I thought I would share a little more of me and my family. Starting with our trip last night to Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids to see the Christmas Around the World display and the fun Polar Express model trains they had running around in there.

The trees line the hallway and are covered with beautiful ornaments from lots of different countries. I liked Mexico …

… and Australia.


Very cool nativity display

There was an elaborate track running through several rooms with little recreations of old Grand Rapids buildings and little trains chugging around it. My kids loved that!

I love this shot of them looking up at the train as it passes over their heads. 🙂

Fun outside in the children’s area. 🙂



This trip was the first of several outings I have planned for us this year. I made a little advent calendar for the kids out of jewelry gift boxes. Feeling a little crafty this year. They open one each day from December 1st to the 24th to countdown to Christmas. Inside each is something special (a treat, a small toy, a coupon for an event like going to the gardens). 🙂 They are loving it!!
