A year in review

Beautiful brides & their very adorable daughters

Gorgeous rings

Lots of wonderful vendors and

 their wonderful creations

Perfect Couples

It's been a great year this year and just wanted to 

thank everyone for their support including my family and friends.

 I enjoyed meeting new faces and getting the opportunity 

to work with some old friends.

I can't wait to see what the new year brings.

I look forward to trying to think of more out of the box shots and

being more comfortable in promoting my business.

Sorry my pictures aren't in order..

We had a good Christmas! again this year.

 Maddie ending up getting a bad virus the

afternoon of her Christmas play and missed several days of school

but we were thankful her fever had dropped by Christmas Eve.

Whew.. She didn't want to get up Christmas morning. We

told her come on Maddie let's get up Santa's been here.. nothing she sighed and rolled over. So we tried again a little later same thing Maddie don't you want to get up and see what santa brought you ? her response was 

No Way...lol

Since everyone was coming to our house for breakfast we ended up

waking her up so we could have Christmas with her before everyone came.

And boy was thrilled over the Power wheels Jeep Santa brought her.

We had a nice breakfast., simple but nice.

We cooked Scrapple, Bacon, Sausage links and Cinnamon rolls, Banana nut & Blueberry muffins and Waffles. Waffles were messy and a pain.

But they worked. I had originally planned on making Pioneer Womans

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls but canned the idea after Maddie got sick.

Maybe another time. They are on my list to try and make.

Have to admit I am a little scared of anything with active yeast in it.

Could be dangerous..lol

Its beginning to look a lot like

Her Class photo

So cute

Her at her class Christmas party. Always the only one left at the table

A hint of a project I have been working on these are the

backs of some pillows for my nieces & nephews

Can't wait to show the front of the pillows.

Each niece & nephew got one or two handmade gifts and

a toy

Busy, Busy

With Christmas parties, Christmas photos, Finishing up Christmas gifts

5 days till Christmas

I was asked by Maddie's teachers to come in and take photos of the class

and each child for a project for the parents the kids are making.

Can't wait to see what they put together.

Thought I'd share a few photos from the tons I took.

Boy was it hard to get to stay still and look at the camera.

Especially my daughter who is in the front in the middle,

she had a hard time keeping her legs closed or still for the most

part. And pouted when I told her to fix her legs..eek

Tonight is her Christmas play., so excited except it seems

that she's coming down with the crud that's going around.

She ran a fever most of the day yesterday.

She seemed better this a.m. hoping she stays that way

for the rest of the day.

Can't wait to see the program tonight

Her class is singing a song about Reindeer

and I think the whole school is singing Jingle bells

Santa attempt #2

Yum fruit cocktail

This face cracks me up

Check it out his bells

The face says it all

We took Maddie to breakfast with Santa on sunday.

Breakfast was yummy,yummy.

Plus they had my favorite Scrapple...

Maddie ate lots of fruit cocktail, pancake, eggs.

She was all for seeing Santa after she saw Santa giving out

presents to kids who sat on his lap.

But once she got up there she didn't look happy at all.

But at least no tears were shed and she loved the snacks

in the goodie bag she got.

She has a Xmas party this friday at her school and

a play on Monday. Whew.. where did the time go

10 days till Christmas... WHAT

Traditions

We painted an ornament & a lil mouse

This year my mother in law went with us to make the ornaments

Maddie had a ball and was very well behaved

2009'S Ornament

Yes that's a hole in it it fell and at least it didn't shatter but

we now have a tiny hole.

2008 Ornament - Her first Christmas

We made a trip to the local paint your own pottery here in town.

A fun tradition I started with Maddie to decorate an

ornament with a handprint.Getting harder as her hand gets bigger.

This year she was so into it and wanted to put a handprint on

everything all around the ornament, the table, a sponge

Since she was so in the mood for painting we let her pick

out something small for her to paint besides the ornament.

She picked that cute little mouse, she did a great job on it.

And it was all purple until she spotted the green.

I am thinking of taking her back sometime, maybe if

my sister in law comes home for Christmas

we could take the little ones

and go again.

Busy weekend, headed to my hometown tomorrow

to take pictures for a breakfast with Santa and pictures of the parade.

My favorite is breakfast with Santa, I love seeing the kids eyes

light up when they see him.

Each year the camera club I belong to is asked to take

pictures for their website & brochures.

I enjoy doing it and it helps me get experience.

Plus it's a good opportunity for networking

I am sure I'll have some photos to share afterwards.
