It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas At Retro House
Christmas came early for our photog Chup. He was gifted some needed camera equipment. We spent the weekend playing with our new stuff. May I just say what a difference a good flash makes?

great pics!!
Well, he is a lucky duck. I personally could use a good flash, but I had a terribly weak moment at Antropologie (they are have a HUGE sale) and it seems my Christmas can now be found wrapped in one of their big white bags.
As always, that picture of The Chief is too cute for words. My gracious he is precious!
Those are great pictures! I agree that The Chief is absolutely DARLING.
The Chief has the cutest cheeks ever! Merry Christmas to the whole family!
I LOVE that nativity! Where did you get it? And I think my little monkey is cuter than the Chief, but I could be biased. ;)
First of all cute pics. Second - where did Claire get her jeans!!
great pictures so far! there is nothing like a new flash to inspire some great new photos! You should do a dress up photoshoot with the kids......superhereos, princesses, etc. Make them look like real portraits and such. Just an idea!
Great pictures! And I must agree, the Chief is a cutie!
So Jealous of your sushi! We make our own here on the farm in Kansas-we are getting close to mastery but not THAT CLOSE! Got my Nie t-shirt yesterday-LOVE IT!
Wow! Great Pix--so nice to see some of your fun weekend. I love the last picture of you and Chup!! I am wondering if you got 2784 responses to your giveaway---How many of us are peeking in every day!!! WOW!! We love you Courtney!! I am so glad to see a pix of Claire--she has sure grown. What gorgeous, dark hair!
Merry Christmas to all of you!
What a sweet little Nativity!
love the pictures my two,three no....four faves are in no particular order......but you can guess, the table setting, you kissing chup, the chief, and the vitamin water! Great camera and flash + great photographer = super duper pics! Check out a card I made for "you" Courtney it can be your Santa Chup!

Looks like fun! Always good to get the camera stuff early to document all the fun Christmas times...
I'm jealous that you made sushi so well with the rice on the OUTSIDE. I have a kit and I can only make it work if the nori is on the outside.
Merry Christmas to you all.
Courtney,
Just wanted to say that you look absolutely STUNNING in that 4th photo!
Have a great holiday,
Jennifer
I know you know this but the Chief is just beautiful.
We ALL need the 411 on the nativity. I need something hands on around and fast.
I love the vitawater in the snow. I love them all... great flash
what I meant to say is that you are really good at flashing.
Love the window picture especially.
I hope that you are enjoying the blessings of this amazing season.
Please give us another Nie update before Christmas. Bless you as you carry on dear one!
I'm not just saying this because I want a free book or anything, because I can download it for $5.00or purchase it for a mere $19.95, but your baby is darling.
Darling, I say.
And I have 5 of my own.
Nice shooting, Chup. And you sure know how to pick a wife.
LOVE the playmobil nativity scene; we have one, too. Aren't those the BEST toys, ever? Except the Chief might want to eat the small pieces for a couple of years...
God bless all of you!
Oh, I love the PlayMobile Nativity!! We have the Fisher Price version, but that one is way cuter!!
Em
Playmobil: an example of GOOD plastic toys that couldn't be matched by wood or metal. I love that knight (if that's what he is) guarding the creche on the right.
Love the pictures.....especially the early missletoe shot. ;)
Guuuuuurrrrllll!
You can't say it's a good flash and NOT tell us what kind! (I'm hoping for a new flash for Christmas, too...)
Is it this one?

That's the one I'm wishing for.
The Cheif is adorable and I have to say Courtney you are looking great too. Keep up the good work.
Know what? I saw a little of Gigs in that picture of the Chief. I did a double take...
Merry Merry Christmas. You are loved.
The Chief is ADORABLE!
they are terrific pictures. what kind of equipment does the photog have? i'd like to know as i'm starting to think about acquiring some (after i get my iphone for christmas!) (oh, and after i earn some money).
it seems i didn't see all the pictures. others are referring to some pictures that i didn't see.
however, i did see your precious baby (what a great photo) and your kitchen table pic. i love those. did you make that table top mosaic? kissing your hubby; really cute.
hmmm I'm not seeing all the pics either.
Love the one of the Chief.
Totally not fair that your Playmobile Nativity is still so orderly. After the 5th time putting ours bacck together (the FIRST day it was out), my 11-year-old gave up tyring to keep order. Now all the wise men are taking naps and the animals were all kidnapped (er, animal-napped) to an undisclosed 2-yr-old "safe house." (Did I mention I have 4 boys? . . .)
The merriest of Christmases to you all.
Your baby is delicious. I now understand your cannibalistic tendencies towards him.
O.k. I agree your Playmobil nativity scene is way too orderly. Maybe it is just a set up for a shot? I too wrote about our nativity scene from Playmobil which is still joy & a toy to my 10 & 13 yr old children. See my blog:

Have a Merry Christmas.
What beautiful pictures! I'm pretty sure 'Santa' is bringing me a new camera for Christmas...since he broke my old one :).
Merry Christmas!!! Of all the people I know, you and your sweet family deserve a Merry Christmas the very most :).
Wow, what a difference new camera stuff makes! The pictures are colorful, beautiful, and simple!
Do you guys make and eat sushi? EWWW.
That lego set of the nativity is one of my favorites. I am the ward activities person, and at our last party "In a Manger", I had several people bring in their nativity sets to display. I loved the lego one; I had never seen it before, and now I've seen it twice in 2 weeks!
Is that how you guys cool your drinks? I loved the colors of the various drink flavors against the white snow.
Seriously, you guys are brilliant! I am so glad to see some of Chup's new work!!! Merry Christmas!
The Chief is absolutely adorable. the cutest baby ever. yay for cute babies with their cute innocent sweetness.
also yay for vitamin water in the snow !
Great pictures~ I love the one of you kissing chup!
Also, the chief looks scrumptious!
that looks like a nice speedlite to me! very worthy investment
I am enjoying my new battery grip and awaiting my lens hood. Merry Christmas to a fellow photog
Why am I not seeing a pic of Claire in cute jeans? Am I going crazy? Maybe the pic was already taken down?
My goodness, your son is DELICIOUS.
What wonderful shots! Amazing pics.
Can I come over for some sushi?
My fave and looks delish!!!
Cute baby! And great way to cool drinks, by the way
What a wonderful present! I really want new camera equipment myself, so I am uber jealous right now.
Can the Chief get any cuter? Seriously.
Cute picture of you two btw!
That great flash does a great job of it alright!
Love the decor - and the sushi - with a finger in it? hehehe
Have a very Merry Christmas!
oh my goodness, i heart heart heart your mosaic table
Chief makes my ovaries ache! I almost licked my screen. You and Chup must get busy making more of the cuteness!!
I am always up for a good flash!!!!!
Simply Gorgeous..
Love, love, love your nativity scene!
The baby ain't half bad, either. :)
Love the pictures! We're glad Chup got his present early! Just think of all the memorable pictures you will get during the holidays. Your family is beautiful. Still praying for Stephanie and Christian and all of you. May you feel the special feeling of peace and love this Christmas season!
Now it looks like there are more people wanting to eat your baby than just you...you might need to get security. Have a great Christmas and send us more picts!
How fun!
Merry Christmas Retro House!
agreed. o the wonder of a flash.
Oh...you might want to write a new book titled "How to serve the Chief". It could include things like recipes (starring him as the main dish) and how to do his laundry, amoung other things! I'm extra silly today because I'm home with my 5 girls! (And now I know I'm definately not the only one with 5 girls.)
Love the new photos from the retro house. Chup must be a happy boy with his new toy!
By the way, did Courtney get a chic new hairdo? Very pretty!
Merry Christmas!
you have a SERIOUSLY cute baby.
awesome pics! love the one of the bottles in the snow. chief = utterly adorable too! and playmobile rocks!
As if my home already isn't full enough... one look at that DREAMY photo of The Chief has me figuring ways I can make room in the house for the crib just one more time! heehee
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
i wont let my husband see this post! He wants a new EVERYTHING for his camera. Fun for you guys.
So sweet!
That sushi is making me salivate and so is your baby. Promise I'm not psycho, I'm just sayin.
We have had that same Nativity for years! It is always shown lots of love.
Enjoyed your photos...have yourself a merry little Christmas, cjane!
cool pics - I like the last one the best!
wow...you seriously have one beautiful little muffin there...really...i'm fairly well known among my kind to be a baby connesiour, and that is one gorgeous kid. just sayin'...
Did you order The Chief through a catalog by any chance? If so....I want one!
ooohh I love the one of the Chief, I love those cheeks!!!! HE IS SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!
That boy of your with those eyes is going to be a ladykiller..just you watch:)
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I saw a story of Christian and Steph on KSL tonight!! So fun to see pictures of their new home. I'm so excited for them and can't wait for them to be able to move in!
that's one very handy bottle cooler! the manufacturers should use that pic! t.xx
The chief being gorgeous is definitely factual. Thanks for all you do.
Camera goodies are the best!
fantastic pictures, especially the last one :)
Love the pictures! Wow, did you make the sushi?
Oh, look at that sweet little baby's face! It's strange, while your family travels through a journey most of us couldn't imagine, we see you all as being so very, very blessed -- even the more for it.
I hope you and yours had a beautiful, loving holiday (it looks like you did), and continue to receive such blessings throughout the coming year.
Love the pics! What kind of camera does he use? I'm a photo freak! :)
Could your son get any cuter? Yikes!
