Holidays

We spent the holidays having fun and enjoying time together and taking plenty of photos.

I pulled out our Christmas china one night and had dinner together during all of the holiday hustle and bustle. Oh, and I made us each a little elf place marker!! 

Beach Photos

Lily is loving photography lately and she took these great pictures recently. I enlarged the pier photo and framed it for over our bed.  Love it.

Photos By Lily and Shelly

Lily is taking a Photography class this semester and Shelly is part of a Photography Club at her school. So they are both busy taking all kinds of pictures. I'm so impressed with their photography skills.

Cousin Photos

When we were in Virginia Beach at Thanksgiving we had a photo shoot with my nieces and nephew and the girls. Here are some of those pictures:

The writing above their heads says. "We're all a little weird"

InstaFriday

I'm linking up with Life Rearranged for a little InstaFriday look at my week in Instagram photos.

A stack of magazines that I really need to read. Magazines stack up around here and I end up reading January's issue in the middle of the summer by the pool.

On Monday the girls were out of school. We spent the day shopping and went out to lunch at Steak 'N Shake...fun day!

Shelly's new leopard Toms...love them. I think I may want a pair for myself, as well.

The corner by our front door got a little makeover. I moved the coat rack to the left and added a canvas above the white bench.

John helped Lily study for her Spanish test. Oh, and she aced it!!!

Photo Shoot

This weekend the girls and I were out shopping and as we headed to the stores, we passed through a street that has a sweet little arboretum on it. Years ago, Lily and I would go there for walks during the spring. She would be in her stroller and I would push her while we talked about all of the pretty flowers.

But, it had been years since we had been back there. So, we took a shopping detour and stopped for a walk at the arboretum. While there I took out the iPhone and snapped a few photos of the girls on this perfect Fall day.
