We hope that everyone had an amazing Christmas, full of love and joy and so much laughter!! Ours was that and so much more!! We can't wait to share it with you all!! But today our photos from Thanksmas our up!!
As I mentioned in our family portrait session post, Nic's side of the family gets together for an entire week in early December each year for what we like to call Thanksmas. Because everyone is married and settling down, and crazy work schedules, we have found that the first full week of December is the week to meet for us!! Each year we try and mix it up on where we are going and what we are doing. Our first Thanksmas was celebrated in Arkansas at a cabin in the woods. And when I say in the woods, I mean in the woods. The second year we used our wedding as a make shift Thanksmas because everyone had to travel to us to see us get married. Last year we celebrated in Bluffton where Nic's parents live (Just off of Hilton Head Isalnd, how epic is that!?). I was very pregnant and very swollen haha. But this year was my favorite by far. WE spent the week in an amazing cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside of Boone, North Carolina. It was such a relaxing week, complete with a hot tub with a mountain view. It was a great time with family and celebrating the holidays!! We had a great Thanksgiving and an even better Christmas morning where our little man was so spoiled by all the presents and all the love that he was shown. We truly enjoyed every minute of it and we are so looking forward to next year! Here are a few of our favorite photos from the trip.
And thats our favorites!!! There are hundreds more, but I felt like these ones gave you the best feel for our amazing week together!! Im already excited for next year :)
Our post about our Christmas morning and all the fun that went with with will be up next week so be looking for it!! There is so much cuteness to be seen!!

Morris Family Session | Personal | Portraits
Every year in December we get together with my husband's side of the family to celebrate the Holidays. Nic has three older sisters who all live in different parts of the country than we do, so it makes getting together with everyone pretty difficult. But once a year, we set aside time to celebrate Thanksmas. We do a big Thanksgiving dinner one night and the following morning we do Christmas and all exchange gifts. It is really just a time to be together and to celebrate all of the greatness that is family. This year we decided to do family portraits while we were all together!!!
We were so sad that one set of our siblings were missing this year, but for a very good reason!! We gained two nephews this past week!!! Jessica and Patrick have begun the process of adopting two precious little boys!!! Even though we miss them like crazy, we are beyond excited that next year, our Thanksmas family portraits will include two beautiful nephews that have been longed for, prayed for and more than anything, wanted...

This past week was an amazing time of life, love and enough laughter to last until we can all be together again. Thanks for sharing part of our holidays with us. Be on the lookout for our full Thanksmas post next week!!
