holidays...

I don't know about anyone else... but I am so very ready for the holidays. I have already started looking up new and fun recipes for Christmas gifts and cannot wait to get started!! It's not even November yet and I'm ready for Christmas. I just love everything that Thanksgiving and Christmas bring. Family time, warmth and coziness in fire places and sweaters and soft blankets, and of course all the yummy food!! I do wish that families cherrished each other more throughout the whole year. I'm so very thankful for mine! Obviously the most important thing to remember is our Lord and Savior through this holiday season and every day of our lives. He is the reason we are here and we need to be aware, not of the things we don't have but all of the wonderful and undeserved blessings He has bestowed on us. I am so thankful for His mercy, grace and love.

Funny Face, I Love You...

I have so many "funny face" pictures that I decided to dedicate a blogpost to them. They give me a good laugh every time I see them.

This is Hannah and I being goofy...



Candace and I...



My little cousin, Justin...



Bryson and his silly face...



Madilyn and her precious silly face...



Micah being Micah...




My nieces Karliegh, Crysta and Katelyn...







Silly pictures are so much fun to take and even more fun to look back on and get a kick out of. I think I have more funny face pictures than I do real ones.
We need to always remember to have fun, laugh and enjoy our times with each other.

The shoot

So weekend before last, I had the privilege of going with my little cousin on her senior picture photo shoot. I had such a great time and I'm so glad she invited me to go!! I took dozens of pictures and only about 3 of them turned out well. I have since seen the "finished product" of her shoot and she was so beautiful in every single shot. I'm so proud of the young woman that was once the little girl who followed me around. I love her dearly and I know she is about to start the beginning of a huge adventure in her life. She will be graduating in May and then in the fall she's off to college. It will be so fun to continue to watch her walk with the Lord get stronger and watch her life unfold.
These are the ONLY 2 pictures that really turned out well. I was really upset that the others were so blurry but very happy to at least have these 2.
