My friends baby is 2 months old!!!
For this shoot we wanted to get some shots to show how much she has grown since her 2 week shoot.
So several of the shots are almost the same as the ones we did then.
She is filling out of a lot of the chair!
Those little feet hanging out below the book her sisters are “reading” to her were adorable.
Such cute sisters.
We had the most beautiful snow coming down Monday evening!
My boys dress for warmth instead of style…
Poor little snowman.
Soft flakes make for some yummy ice cream!
It is just Milk, Sugar, Vanilla, and Snow.
You should make some!
We hurried out the next morning to enjoy the snow before it melted!
I tried out a different angle for pics.
I sat at the top of the hill so the sun would act as a back light and next to a tree to frame the shots with branches.
You can see more of the clutter in our yard this way but I like backlit subjects.
I gave my camera to my oldest so I could get in a shot!
This goof had a hat on top of a jacket hood.
He said it was warmer that way.
I found out about the Battle of Round Mountain Winter Encampment in Yale, OK right before it took place last year and did not make it!
So this year I was determined to get out there.
Friday is the educational day, Saturday and Sunday they have a battle re-enactment.
It is hosted at the Assemblies of God church in Yale.
You park in the church parking lot, go behind the church and you will see the trail sign.
There is a path that leads to the camp.
This was a wonderful setup.
She was so nice and shared so much information with us about the food during that time!
She really wanted the boys to touch everything!
We ended up buying some Molasses Cookies from her and it was like I was back at my Grandma’s house.
She loved Molasses cookies.
There were a couple of shops with some clothing, candy, and toys to buy.
My oldest wanted to know if the pants were pajamas.
This man loved to share and teach.
He wanted to show the kids everything.
I am so thankful for people like this, that share their love of history with kids.
His son was there as well and gave us a demonstration on his drum!
If you would like to hear what it sounded like, I posted a short video I took on YouTube, here.
We remember seeing this guy last year at the Honey Springs Re-enactment.
My oldest was pretty excited to see an artillery sign.
He likes the big guns…
Not sure where to start getting your children excited about history?
