After my son was born, I decided I wouldn't offer a holiday collection at Banter & Charm until the kids were older.  It was hard to say no to the business opportunities that Christmas brings, but nothing compares to being able to spend extra time with these two while the Christmas magic is still alive 🎅⁠⠀

Instagram post 2177815991946073246_34742272 I was going through family photos last night, trying to decide which ones to put on our Christmas cards and came across this gem showing what we affectionately refer to as Alex's "stinker face" 😂I couldn't resist mocking up a card with his picture (and if he was our only child this would probably be our family card 😄)⁠⠀
