a bit of happy news!

Happy (mid to almost late) March! I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a blog post. The year started off a little crazy and then just got every crazier with the Covid-19 quarantining…

family pictures {2019}

Our family Christmas cards were sent out at the first of the month (woot!) but I also wanted to share the remainder of the photos from this year’s family photo shoot. Christmas cards and family photos are my very FAVORITE thing about the holidays. We send out many, many Christmas cards every year and receive almost as many, and it brings me SO much joy!

We had the wonderful and lovely Ashley Vos behind the camera again this year, and if you are local to Seattle, I cannot recommend her enough! The location was Volunteer Park in the Capital Hill neighborhood.

daphne {second birthday party!}

Just this past weekend we took the morning to celebrate our sweet Daphne turning TWO!

Unlike parties in the past, I purposefully kept this party (very) small. I really wanted it to be about Daphne, so we invited two (close) family friends (who have a younger sibling Daphne’s age) and family. Usually we end up with a house-full of people which is SO fun, but we often don’t get to see and actually chat with our guests. We also kept the food scene super low-key (a few snacks and cupcakes) which meant we all enjoyed the party!

Invitations from Paperless Post which you know is my favorite since I love all of the designs. Plus the guest tracking is amazing.
