Christmas Vacation Day 1 | Tallassee, AL

I thought a fun way to capture memories this Christmas vacation would be to post photos from each day spent with friends & family. Today I am writing from the booming metropolis (serious sarcasm here!) of Tallassee, AL, located between Auburn & Montgomery, AL. Joy’s parents’ home is nestled on 50 or so acres here on land that her mother bought from her grandfather way back when. It is a lovely place. Brennan absolutely loves ‘Baldwin Farm’ as he gets to feed the horses, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, dogs, & cats every day (the only thing this place is missing is a llama!!). Plus, his Papa always takes him for rides on the tractors.

I would love for you to take pics of what your Christmas time looks like & shoot me an email. These are my pictures from Day 1.

What genuine joy!

Brennan & his Papa. I love the lighting & the expressions on their faces in this pic.

Knox isn’t able to fully enjoy the outside yet but is working up a sweat indoors. He has officially learned how to roll over from his back to belly… he will be crawling in no time.

He is so stinkin’ cute!

The ‘quack-quacks.’


This is Valentine. She is a massive but gentle longhorn. Regardless of how gentle she may be, when you see her trotting down the hill toward you, it is quite intimidating. She likes to follow you around like a dog. Then she puts her nose in your personal space such as your chest & you realize that if she makes one swift move with her neck… you are done. Thankfully she is a big softy.

Here is the Nanny goat & her kids.

Here is Hot Shot the horse. He is as gentle of a horse as I have ever known.

This is one of the ‘cluck-clucks’ as Brennan likes to say.

This is Dixie the black lab. She is by my side the whole time… she is my side-kick. I’ve threatened to bring her home with me on several occasions.

What does your Christmas time look like? I would love to see pics from your Holiday vacation. Until tomorrow!!!!
