My Family *Photo Shoot

Facebook saves!  Yes, before my external hardrive decided to stop working, I was able to upload a few pictures of my family and at this point, that's all I have!  So, here is the Hynson Family Christmas photos we have so far.  We headed out to Theta Pond in Stillwater with camera in hand and captures feeding the ducks and my sweet parents with all their grandkids along with my brother and sister with their precious families.  We have so much to be thankful for!  God is so good! 

Ryan LOVED this!  Who wouldn't?

Us three...

Ryan loves her daddy!

Eskimo kisses.

My precious family!

Mommy getting kisses.

Ryan straight faced...if only we knew her thoughts here.

Boys will be boys...

My precious mom and dad.

My sister and four boys!  Oh, Paul would make five (hee hee).

My brother and his sweet family (with #4 due February).

My sister and her boys.  There's nothing like a mommy and her boys.

The Buddies x4!

My parent with their blessings!  Eight grandkids with #9 due February! 
What a beautiful legacy!

Precious!

Ryan after meeting Santa Clause, which she hated...but it was worth the cookie!
And Grammie to hold her...

Not sure what she's doing here...directing?  Who knows, but I love her little Santa skirt!

Baby Asher with Santa Clause.  He was so chilled out!

Angelic!

Christmas 2011

What a month this has been!  As you can see by the limited (actually no new post entries) that we have been a little busy with the season, traveling, shopping, photography, sewing, etc.  BUT this week is a slower week so I'm catching up on blogging and editing pictures (oh, where to begin?). 
At this point, I'm only able to share our Christmas celebration with Kris' family since my external hardrive is not working and there is a possibility that a lot of my pictures are potentially lost, but at this point I'm choosing not to dwell on this thought.  So, I'll share what we do have!  After spending a week in Stillwater, we headed to OKC for the weekend of Christmas and enjoyed our time there.  What a delight my in-laws are and such joys to be around!  Here's a sample of our time together (the last time we will be in the home Kris grew up in since Jay and Karen will be moving within the upcoming month).  Good times! 

This is one of my dresses as a little girl.

She's ready to go!  Glasses, bracelets...what else does a girl need?



I just love this sweet picture.

Aunt Janette got her a Veggie Tales Castle - it was a hit!

Ryan kept wanting to go into the garage and finally she decided to put her shoes on.
And of course her bow...it was 40 degrees or so out there!  But when has that mattered?

Reading a book with Grandpa in her favorite chair, his!

What a face!  She loves her Grandma!

Elmo and Ryan...she was so excited!

Her new best friend.

What you can't see is her hand is in a bag of Jelly Beans! 

Band Aids are Ryan's new favorite thing...no boo boos needed...
I guess she uses them as stickers.

Uncle Matthew & Aunt Heidi!

Mommy's Make-Up

It's almost daily that my little Ryan Elizabeth helps me with my make-up and getting ready process.  This morning the only difference was I got my camera and let her dive in with very little restraints, as you can see.  She loved it and has figured out how to get into my mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and much more!  So here's to my little make-up artist in training...

We discovered this season that candy canes are one of her favorites...
and watching herself in the mirror.

Ryan knows she is up to something...

How pretty! 

I just love this sweet picture and her eyes! 

*Photo Shoot Play

As many of you know, last week I launched Tricky Squirrel Photography & Designs (you can visit my site at www.TrickySquirrelDesigns.com) focusing on photography and custom cards/invitations.  It's a perfect time right before the holidays to get started!  And already I've done 3 photo shoots with another scheduled tomorrow morning...so fun!  Anyway, today during our time I was able to capture Ryan Elizabeth so here's a few of my favorites. 

Pinterest Addict...

My sweet neighbor introduced me to this online pin board called Pinterest (if you have not started I advise you to think twice as it is VERY addictive!). Since this new find in my life, I've begin crafting and making things that I've seen from other people's pins. Here are a few of the things I've made. (Book pumpkin, cloth pumpkins, ruffled t-shirt, a scrappy skirt for Ryan, book wreath, and burlap wreath.) I have a sneaky suspicion that I will soon begin crafting/sewing more!
