Flash much?

Love this laugh!

I apparently don't. Imagine my surprise when I tried to shoot in manual out in the dark and then went d'oh. This photo was after taking one of AG with the flash..she laughed so hard b/c she's NEVER seen the flash ROFL.

Thanksgiving was good...I had a great time with my brothers and my SIL and my kids and husband and Mom and Gram. My inlaws were also here. My tree is up and everything is all decorated (minus the mini trees and lights in the bedrooms). We had turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, jello, green beans, yams and pies. YUM. I love the holidays.

Downtown Lights

K was in a concert downtown for the lighting of the creche at a local church..and it was simply lovely- the lights and the singing...really put me in the mood and makes me grateful for everything going on in my life. Life is good :)

School is over in two weeks...it's crunch time and i am trying, trying to stay stress-free. Next term isn't until Jan 11th! My birthday is this week and I *think* I get to play driver for my teenager that day She has a concert (thinks she might have a speech tournament- but can't do both) and also has a dance that night for school-semi-formal. Aye ai ai...I've got no life anymore.
Shopping here is done and presents are wrapped...the newsletter is all typed out..I have to apply changes to it and figure out what to print it on but otherwise I am *set* for the holidays. I can't wait. We leave the day after xmas (hopefully) to Florida for a week. Should be a wonderful break.
