Christmas Card Pictures

Instead of heading to a studio (and experiencing all the pain that goes along with it)--we enlisted the help of Leah's finance, Phil, to snap a few photos of us for our Christmas card this year. You'll recognize the ones that made the cut--and the ones that didn't! The Oak Park Ave. train station made the perfect background. And the weather was more like a spring day than a winter one!

The adorable dress Lola is wearing is a Tate Peck original. I've been looking forward to Lola wearing it ALL year--ever since Shelby let us borrow it last Christmas. And she's already worn it twice since the pictures! John says she looks like a present--which makes sense because she is the ultimate gift.



"No, Mommy--I don't want to take pictures!"

Tinley got its start in the railroad industry--hence the vintage engine.

Jingle Bells!

And as our card said this year:
"May this Christmas be you most blessed and this New Year be your happiest."
John, Kristen & Lola
