Does anybody else get super stressed about learning new games!?

THAT FACE!!

I wanted REAL LIFE moments – and I got them!

Brett & Lori – thank you SO MUCH for hanging out with me for the afternoon – especially on your BIRTHDAY Lori!!

Meet Brett & Lori! Brett is the Pastor at Vineyard Church of Wellsboro. Jared and I called Vineyard our church home 10 years ago. We have since gone back to our “home” church but still very much love the people at Vineyard (and Vineyard itself)!

Brett and Lori had a GIFT CERTIFICATE for 2021 but they had SO MUCH life happen in 2021 that we never were able to fit it in!

SO – Lori scheduled their family session for a Saturday in January – on her birthday!!

In 2021 they had a son graduate AND two sons get married! So it was a BUSY year!

THAT one is my FAVORITE!!

THE GIRLS!!

THE GUYS!!

I love those!!

SO SWEET!!

Thankfully it was a mild enough day that photos outside in January were not too painful!

We went back to Brett & Lori’s for some photos of what they do together!

Movies & games – AND POPCORN!!

I had to split this blog post into two because I took SO many!! So stay tuned!!

I especially love that everyone expects me to be there – so I can get REAL LIFE moments and blend in the with the crowd!

Stephanie’s mom – I LOVE HER!!!! She was VERY concerned about her hubby on those skates!!

At some point – you’ll forget how the weight of their body in your arms feels.

You’ll forget that they fit right in the space underneath your neck.

You’ll forget that they were ever that tiny!

YOU NEED THE PHOTOS!!

I can’t WAIT till next time!
