Thanksgiving Weekend 2012

All I can possibly say is that we are so very grateful for all that we have. Amazing friends, the best family and lots of love.

Thank you to all who made our Thanksgiving 2012 special.

On Thanksgiving Eve - we hosted a buffet style party:

And then woke up on Thanksgiving morning and headed out early to my parents house for food and drinks.

After lunch with my family we headed to Massachusetts for dessert and to spend time with Stew's family. 

We were lucky enough to enjoy a second Thanksgiving at our house on Friday as well. By Saturday, Stew's family had to head back to Florida. IV had so much fun playing with his cousin and seeing everyone again though - it was a great weekend! 

On Sunday we put up our Christmas Tree and "Clark" (the Elf on the Shelf) arrived.

This is my favorite time of year - I can't wait for the next month of activities. 

Friday Morning

Life has been so busy lately - that I'm actually wondering what I'll do during nap time today seeing work is slow.

This morning I mailed out three photos session CDs that I shot last weekend. And I have another two this weekend.

Yesterday, IV and I had a fun morning grabbing a bite to eat at Starbucks together - something we never do...because, well technically, I should be in my office working at 10am on Thursday. But some days you just need to throw work out the window and enjoy a morning with your 18 month old. Right?

I grabbed my camera to charge the battery for my sessions this weekend and I had to snap a few shots of my little man.

Happy Friday, Friends.

Wordless Wednesday: My world

My world. The end.

Christmas Photo Shoot

I usually don't share our Christmas Card Photos until we send out our cards...but these just can't wait. I have to share a few of my favorites.

All week...

All week my little guy has been fighting a cold. A nasty cold. 

All week I have been so busy with my real job and my side business. 

All week I've wanted to open a bottle of wine before 5.

All week I've realized how awesome my son is. 

All week I have been drinking gingerbread coffee. I just love winter.

All week I've thought about decorating for Christmas.

All week I've been craving chocolate. 

All week I have satisfied that craving.

All week "they" talked about a Nor'Easter. On Wednesday we got it.

All week I've been thinking about buying myself a treat. 

All week I've been ready for Friday to get here. 

Happy Friday, Friends.  

Wordless Wednesday

I took this picture last night - and for some reason he reminds me of my late Grandfather in this picture.

That's all. 

Happy Wednesday. 

Trick or Treat Party

What an amazing day yesterday - IV and I started off with making a t-shirt to wear for the day.

I loaded a few of his favorites - kitty, tractor, scarecrow and Curious George. He picked George...of course.

And if you haven't tried iron-on paper yet, you should. A pack of 10 sheets is only a few dollars. You just create what you want, print and iron. It's pretty easy. I used an undershirt that IV had...simple, cheap and easy. 

Next up...our Trick or Treat Party:

And finally it was time to take IV out for his first Trick or Treat:

Awesome. Just awesome. That's the only way to describe our Halloween. I hope you all had a great one! Now - on to Thanksgiving!
