It has become an annual tradition in my family to cut down a Christmas tree, so 2 weeks ago my blue-eyed 'threenager' Quintin, my handsome hubby Ken, and I set out to Quail Creek Ranch to get our family tree...but this time we were determined to capture a few family photos as well. As a photographer, I am always behind the camera - so it's a rare occasion when I find myself on the opposite side of the lens. My amazing photography counterpart Kate was kind enough to brave the rain and capture a few absolutely precious moments of my wonderful family. Kate, thank you so much for these memories.

And, in true Erin and Kate fashion, no Parallel blog post would be complete without a few photo "pretties". I took a break from the editing rush last week and took my camera for a walk to capture the winter details in my home and neighborhood. Love this season!  

Sending warm wishes to you and your loved ones, from our Parallel family to yours.

Happy Holidays! - Erin and Kate
