Christmas !

Livonia, MI

I don't always post the Bozaan Family because there are soooo many photos that it's kind of overwhelming for me, but I had to post this year's Christmas faces.

I will have to post my fav Christmas photos of the past few years. Maybe next year. I was thinking this as I was hanging them all on my gallery wall for the holidays. Man, these kids grow up so fast!

July 4th Up North

I was so grateful to take a break and head up north this past holiday weekend! With the to-do lists that never end, the anxiety of a busy season, more racing thoughts of that to-do list... Summertime goes by so fast here in Michigan, so it's imperative to take the time to do absolutely nothing. Laze around, listen to the loons, smell the fresh cut grass, just enjoy the sun... This was a weekend of fishing, kayaking, canoeing, ice cream, pancakes, coffee on the porch in our pj's reading magazines, the beach, campfires, marshmallows as big as your face... 

I did my best to create a Pinterest surprise for my niece and nephews, to no avail. Fail. The bubbles never glowed in the dark. But! The glow in the dark bowling was a hit! Until the mosquitoes swarmed. It was a really good five minutes, though.

I can't wait to get back to our little "vacation house" and do some more nothing.

Mommy Daughter Session

Montpelier, Vermont
Casual Session at home

I visited my dear old friend and aloha sister, Nikki, in Vermont. We all had colds and spent a lot of time cooking comfort food and watching cartoons. (How have I not seen "The Last Unicorn?" It seems like a staple lesson for kiddos, and adults, too.) This was perfect for me because Nikki is just a comforting and nurturing soul. She was a subject in a lot of my fine art work on Maui. My muse. Our lives have changed dramatically since those island years... I can't believe how big Zara has grown! I took my camera out and snapped a few of them all cute and casual on the couch. After a couple days, the sun came out and we recharged with some vitamin D. 

For one of my favorite ladies... I hope these make you smile! Love you.
