2012 here we come!

I love ringing in the new year! It's a fresh start, a clean slate... and the perfect time to create a resolution or two! I also love it because it's one of the few holidays that the ENTIRE WORLD celebrates together!

Cheers!

and that's a wrap...

2011 has been awesome... to say the least

I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store!
Happy New Year!

Johan & Alisha

It has been such a blessing to have my two friends home for Thanksgiving! Joey is serving in the US Air Force and he and Alisha have lived in Jersey since 2009. They are about to move to Italy for 3 years! And they have a baby on the way! So of course... this called for some pre-baby family protraits ;)
