  2. You guys are so funny! It looks like you had a blast doing this series with your mum. I hope you do more, it’s been really cool to see your work!

  3. Beautiful photographs! This post is so getting me in the holiday spirit – Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year! I can’t wait to bake Christmas cookies with my little sister next week (she’s 12 years younger, so almost like a niece to me)!

  4. We are making ours today! The girls are so excited. We are expecting some snow outside, we have a fire going inside, and we are decorating the tree. Add a gingerbread house to that and we couldn’t have more of the Christmas spirit here today! Thank you for the inspiration Aimee – we are having so much fun!
