Winter is Pretty

Even if it's cold and I'm tired of wearing layers.  There is only one thing better than a warm cozy cabin in the winter-time..... A cabin by a lake when it's 90 degrees.

Grandkids with Ornaments

Every year I buy the grand kids an ornament for their tree.  I take their photo and hopefully someday I can provide them with all the years of ornaments from Grandma and Grandpa in a book.  Usually the ornament means something about their year but each year it's getting harder to do.  I shopped at many stores and thought their ornaments were ugly and when I'd get to the next store they were uglier than the last.  After many stores and many shopping days I finally found the perfect 3 and then the day before Christmas I dropped Mallory's and it broke all over my bedroom floor...... I did manage to find her another one that was more like her anyway.

Elly starts out the photos with her BLUE ornament.  I used to buy her pink everything and I finally decided to buy Elly an ornament to match her favorite color.  She loved it. 

But notice the pink ring on her finger (it's from Grandma, I can't de-pink her totally)

Next up is Garrett-Man, he is all about the dinosaurs.  I'm not usually into the cutesy ornaments but Grandpa was shopping with me on this day and he picked this one out, it screamed Garrett at him.  I Love the purple glittery feet.

Bringing up the end for this year is Miss Mallory with her crystal sliver ornament.  She is our glitzy girl that loves to play in the dirt and get dirty. 

I don't normally try to get all 3 in the same photo as it's a lot of work getting them all to sit still and be nice to each other for the 2 minutes but we tried it tonight.  Mr Garrett is the card of the bunch, he would do a big grin, I'd snap the camera and he'd run.  ALL DONE!!  I asked him to be a big boy and hold onto Mallory thinking he might last a little longer..... he held onto her but as before only 1 click of the shutter and he was gone.

I did happen to get a few that were cute and they were all looking.  

 I loved my day with everyone here, it's a great way to start a new week.

Winter Wedding Wonderland

Our bride wanted her wedding to be a winter wonderland.  She didn't care about any of the decoration details because she knew we would take care of everything.  Her words were "I love bling" and bling is what she got.  I wish I could have seen her face when she walked into that hall on Saturday afternoon, it was a beautiful silver and aqua winter wonderland.

And their were tons of cupcakes..... we had to have two cake areas and then the head table was lined with cupcakes with 2 huge boxes still in the kitchen.  I dropped one while putting them out and ohhhhh they tasted heavenly.

My favorite wedding decorations are the winter themes, it's a bit cold during the loading and un-loading but the results are totally worth it.

Teamwork gets the job done.

These girls are on fire...... they won again last night.  They are very impressive with their team ability both on and off the court.  Down to earth type of girls, great sportsmanship and full of RESPECT. 

Thank you girls for the opportunity to work with all of you.

Baby-love Part 2

 Get ready moms here are these cute little baby girls again. 

Miss M is first to start the baby love

Then it's Miss G in all her cuteness.

If these girls don't give you the baby blues no one will. 

April better hurry grandma can't wait for a baby to snuggle.

Babies sharing the blog space tonight.

I have two babies that will share the blog space tonight and then they will share again tomorrow night.  I couldn't decide which baby to post and I loved both of them, and their parents, so I thought sharing would be the best choice for all of us.

Miss G is 6 months and a joy to her mommy and daddy. 

Miss M is 3 months old and she is her mommy and daddy's pride and joy...... and I think Miss M kinda likes her Grandma too.

Miss M is wearing the same dress that Grandma had for all 5 of her daughters.

Miss G wearing the hat Grandma requested.

Miss G with Mommy and Daddy

And Miss M getting a little downtime with Mommy

Loved the baby time this weekend, now we're back to 5 day work weeks...... I haven't worked 5 days since November, this could be a loooooooong week.

Happy 1.1.11

Starting out the new year with a cute baby girl.  I will have another post with more of her photos this next week.  It's a busy weekend of photo work, decorating work, parties, and taking lots of photo memories.  

Now I'm on my way to a house party to watch the Badgers...... not sure who they are but I'll go and drink the Old Fashions :)

Here's to a safe and healthy 2011
