Star Wars Christmas It Was.

The older I get, the more I really appreciate having family close during the holidays. I remember being younger and having gifts and presents consume my mind and dreams. But now, just having family and friends around is the most important thing in the world. I can't imagine how fun Christmas will be when we turn my parents into grandparents, but don't worry there's plenty of time for that in a couple of years. Some exciting news happened right before Christmas too...I finally graduated from Dallas Baptist University! Took long enough huh...but hey, better late than never. MORE exciting news would be that Andrea Rogers Photography will be seeing some big changes soon, can't wait to disclose! But for now, my lips are sealed ;)

Back to the Christmas talk...most of you know that Stephen and I are big nerds and LOVE Star Wars. So I thought of a genius way to get him more involved with the decorations this year, take a look!

California Vacation 2012!

I thought I would share some of our vacation photos from Napa/Sonoma, Carmel/Monterey, and San Francisco! We crammed way too much stuff into 7 days (I'd say 5 different hotels was a bit excessive). But the view was breathtaking at each stop :) Some of our favorite places were the Cardinale Winery, the Winchester Mystery House, and the Francis Ford Coppola winery and shop. Our favorite hotels were the Carneros Inn in Napa, the Hyatt Carmel Highlands, and the Fairmont in San Francisco. Here is our trip in photos!

Brooke's Baby Shower!

Finally getting around to posting the photos from Brooke's baby shower! Donna and Alisa did a fabulous job hosting this party, everything turned out great. And I love seeing the Maternity photos I did for her and Michael displayed! I helped myself to way too much of that chocolate fountain. Kira won the onesie-design contest with her super cute animal print letters. Although, I am convinced that the Bingo game was ringed, but you didn't hear that from me! Enjoy the pics from the party :)
