FRIDAY

well Devin has been such a good boy, hanging in his room, I have had a chance to catch up with friends and sites, thought this is my last fast stop and I have to start my day, many things to do.
I have like 5 photo sessions this weekend, lets see how the weather treats us. I think after this weekend I will take a break from the photography, I have been swamped with it, which is a huge blessing, but I don't have enough time to do all that comes with it, prep the photos and material that goes with it takes so much time and well with my hair clients and the kids as well. I am pooped out.
I love the photography though and will not stop just not going to feel the pressure for a bit.
I made salsa yesterday for Brad's employees and our neighbors, that is like 30jars that need to be made, obviously though the 4 batches I made didn't make enough to go around so I bought more last night. Hopefully Saturday between work and my niece's play I will have time to grill veggies and get it all made and into the mason jars for Brad to take to work and us to deliver to the neighbors for a nice treat.
I LOVE Christmas, the lights and the smells, the feeling of hope and what it all stands for.
My childhood memories of the fireplace and wood crackling, grandparents, decorations, of course Christmas morning and taking all my gifts to my room and just looking through it all, then so fast it was all over and dreary January was upon us.
I have organized our annual neighbor gathering for next Saturday, we will be staying in for this one, we will house hop for drinks and snacks, if all participate. I am starting point, we will see who joins in, if none then we will be in the street with the fire pits, which is not always a bad thing to me. I like the fire and cold. Kind of like salty sweet to those of us that like that....
There is a dueling piano bar opening soon, in January I have us organized to go there for our actual Christmas outing.
That should be a great time.
so that is what is going on, Brenden is on a field trip today with school to see Scrooge, he likes that play, Saturday we go to see my niece in a play. I don't even know what its about, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Junior high so it will be cute I'm sure.
Have a blessed weekend, here are a few pics of recent sessions
