Our best Christmas gift.

This holiday season was upon us much quicker than we anticipated, and it's over before we even realized! Our new family of three was so blessed to see both sides of our family during these special weeks, and we tried to capture as many precious moments on film as possible. Here is a "quick" look at Christmas and New Year's with the Cairns family!

Eleanor, our very own Christmas kitty! (She is SLOWLY adapting to life as a big sister, aka no longer the center of our universe...)

Mimi came to visit!

2 VERY proud and adoring great grandparents.

Mommy had a mini photo shoot, trying to get the perfect Christmas photo... still lots to learn about photographing babies, though =)

Our family in the Walnut Room at the State Street Macy's (old Marshall Fields building)

The best present under our tree!

With Grandma Cairns on Christmas morning!

Mama and Daddy in tears as Grandma C reads Christmas cards to Gracie.

Turner family Christmas- guess who was the center of attention?!?!

All the kids focused on Grace- card games forgotten ;)
