Christmas at The Bonnivier's {Personal} Winter 2012

Deck the Halls with Disco Balls! We had Christmas early here in MO because Levi & I are heading to Philly on Sunday! Thank goodness we didn't make plans to fly out today...it's quite blustery! Dodged that travel nightmare ;-) I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful snowy day. I am loving it! (Mostly because I know tomorrow it will be back to 50 degrees). haha! Anyone else with me on that one? 

Last Saturday was so much fun! It was a very 'Springfield Christmas', complete with Elle's truffles (and by the way...holy DELISH!) and cupcakes from The Cup. We devoured some Italiano hor d'oeuvres (what a treat) and enjoyed glazed ham, roasted chicken, rice pilaf & roasted veggies for dinner. Everything was delightful! So thankful everyone could come over & celebrate with us! Love you guys!

Merry Christmas ya'll! I will be out of the office next week visiting my family on the East Coast. I hope everyone gets to steal some time off to spend with loved ones. xo

Warm wishes,

Christine

Twinsies! I would have never been able to relax if it hadn't been for Kiley...she rocks in the kitchen. :-)

You know those "Awkward Family Pictures" that we're all too familiar with? This is Andrew & Kiley's take on it...so freakin' hilarious! We laughed and laughed. :-) 

Things I love Thursday: Adieu l'automne! {Christmas 2012} Springfield, MO Photographers

Goodbye Fall! It's officially the holiday season! Time to deck the halls with disco balls! ;-) I've been so blessed to have photographed so many wonderful families & couples this fall season (and all year, for that matter). It's been go, go, go and I'm really looking forward to relaxing and spending time with friends and family these next few weeks. That is why I love Christmas :-) Everything is cheerful, sparkly, cozy and peaceful & I love it. ;-) I have all of my shopping done, as we are celebrating Christmas next week here in Missouri with Levi's family. Christmas day we will be in Pennsylvania with my family...I'm so excited! This past week or so I've been hard at work with plans & goals for 2013. There is an overwhelming amount to do but I know it will all be so worth it. We're doing a complete re-brand...logo, website, blog, business cards, bridal show booth and it's been such a great experience so far. There's a bit of a learning curve with the process and I'm really thankful for all those who have helped me thus far. Pretty exciting stuff! I'm looking forward to New Years day when we officially launch! We'll be having a cyber launch party and will be giveaway something super sweet, so be on the look out! ;-) xo-chris

Sunday we took advantage of a mild Missouri day and photographed this bunch! So much cute, I can't stand it! These lovebirds and their chickies were so much fun! Enjoy!

Happy Holidays! {December 2011} Springfield, MO Photographers

I am so overwhelmed with joy this Holiday Season! As I reflect on this past year, I am just in awe. It could not have asked for a better 2011! I am blessed with such wonderful clients, friends and caring family. It just all feels so, 'right'. I have never been this excited for a new year. I'm not just saying it! ;-) Thanks to all who have lent a hand, given advice or  just have 'been there' for us. Really, from the bottom of our hearts (cliche I know), hubby Levi and I are truly appreciative of everyone's support.

Special thanks to the wonderful girls who keep me sane and always have my best interest in mind, Alissa & Elise. Everyone deserves such compassionate & gifted people in their life. Thanks for being there ladies!

So here's to you and yours! Have a Happy & safe Holiday from all of us at CBP!
