Christmas Tags

I didn't have enough time, this year, to make my own Christmas cards. But I did manage to make some Christmas tags. These are the first ones I made. I already need to make more, so think I may switch it up and try something different for the 2nd batch.

Black Friday

My mom and I had the pleasure of getting away for the weekend, and heading down to Bismarck to shop on Black Friday!
It was a great time, and I look forward to making it a yearly occasion!

Hockey Jacket

Dominic was quite excited to receive his very first hockey jacket!!

Magic Santa

Last year my mom created emails from Santa for my kids. It was so cute, and the kids totally loved it.
I knew I just had to do it again this year. I am not quite as impressed as last year. But still way too adorable. And in the mind's of 4 and 6 year old's. Santa emailing you is "beyond cool"

And now...

Photo #3

SO SO thankful!!

A couple weeks ago, I had a minor heart attack {not literally}, minor melt down, minor whatever you must call it..When I came into my living room to find my new macro lens SMASHED! My heart just broke!!! So I bought a used 50mm macro lens {my other one was a brand new 100mm macro lens}.
It arrived today, with a UV filter on it...and that's when I made the embarassing discovery! I had put a UV filter on my 100mm lens too {can you see where this is going}. yea, it was the cheap cheap filter that was broken, not the glass on my lens! I felt so silly for forgetting it was on there, but am so thankful!

On the bright side, now I have 2 fabulous lenses to play with!

Kinley edition 2

While in Saskatoon, we were able to get over to visit my cousin and her baby again. So I came better equipped and was able to snap some more photo's of her at 7 weeks old. More to come

Grandparents

Got the pleasure of taking my grandparents photo while in Saskatoon!

Pose

Asking these two munchkins to strike a pose resulted in this! They are way too adorable!

Caught!

Catching a photo of Paige sometimes means I catch other things too! Such as my little cousin in the background! Too cute!

Cousins

The kids and I headed to Saskatoon today for one of my doctor's appointments. It was also a great chance to see some family we don't see very often.

Pumpkin Fun

We had fun carving pumpkins this year. Dominic was trusted to do some of the carving all by himself. He did one pumpkin soley (sp) alone! It took mom and dad getting their hands dirty with the "guts" before the kids would even dare it. But they stepped up and had a lot of fun doing it!
