Kara

is such a little sweetie. Within 2 minutes of meeting her we learned that she has her own schedule and it's not a rushed one and she is a master negotiator! The apple didn't fall far from the tree in her house given her parents' professions!

It had taken her hours to get down to half of her pop tart before we came. However, before the session could start she negotiated for 5 more bites. hehehehe!!! I'm pretty sure she only ended up taking one more bite, but it cracked me up that she wanted FIVE more...not one, not two....but five! Kara is one funny girl!

Want to know what she wants for Christmas? An octopus! That's not a typo....to the surprise of us and her parents she announced that an octopus was on her list of items she hopes Santa will deliver. Hmmmm, I wonder what Rudolph would think about transporting sea life?

I asked her if she could go get her favorite book. Given exhibit A above (she's on her own timeline), her daddy happily found his way up and down the stairs before she even knew he was gone. I'm so glad he found her favorite book because I am in LOVE with the family time we captured above!

I love them even more because the days of mommy, daddy and Kara only story time are limited...see exhibit C below...

Kara is going to be a big sister by the end of the month!! Not only do I love that image because it represents so much anticipation it also captures so much love in their family...Kara is just being her silly little self and her parents are loving it!

Kara - We had so much fun capturing your silly little self! You are so full of life and we loved learning all about you and your most ambitious Christmas list! You are going to be SUCH a great big sister! We can't wait to see you again!
