Birthday...Thanksgiving...Fun

We celebrated many this in 2010 but in the month of November we always celebrate Ben's birthday and Thanksgiving. Ben turned 33 this year but we didn't have 33 candles nor did we have two number 3 candles. So as ghetto as it sounds Ben (in images) will be 34 in 2010 and 2011. :) We had a wonderful time with family, ate cake, played games and Ben opened a few presents. Ben got everything he wanted...that being a iTunes GC, a sander and some candy. :) He is always saying, "I need some chocolate"...I am beginning to wonder if we are more alike than I had thought in the past. :) The boys also each got him a picture frame in which they helped me put their school pictures in. He now has them on his desk at work to look at everyday.





We also hosted Thanksgiving at our place this year. The house was full to say the least...thirteen people total. :) My family, my parents, my brother and his wife and their 4 kids and Emily's Aunt Anita. We ate lots of great food, and of course had tons of leftovers. Love the holidays...they truly are my favorite time of the year. I am so grateful for all my many blessings. Life is wonderful and fun of great experiences.

A Little Christmas Craftiness...

I was going through all my MANY emails today and saw one from The Crafting Chicks. I follow their blog regularly and love all their great ideas. I thought that I would write a short post and share with you their most recent entry because...well it's the holiday season and everyone is looking for different ways to save a little money whether it be to have more for presents and all the many festivites or whether it's simply because...well things are tight and you have to get creative. :) I thought this crafty idea was cute and very inexpensive for those of you out there that want to give your Christmas tree a little something new but don't want to spend a lot doing it. :) Check out this post and maybe it will spark even more creative juices for you this holiday season. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Here We Go AGAIN...

Here we go AGAIN...yet another blog post about the A...wait for it...mazing all in one camera bag. That's right, camera bag. It's not just a lens bag. Not only are ALL these bags simply gorgeous but they are extremely functional too. I would be so happy to own any one of them. Kelly Moore really out did herself when she thought up and designed each of these bags and she never ceases to amaze me (nor any other fans) with any of her NEW designs. There is a bag for all types of users. If you love a clutch she's got it. If you want a big bag that fits every single piece of camera gear you own...she's got it...and everything in between too. :) Here's to hoping I finally WIN ONE. After all, I have entered just EVERY single giveaway she has offered in the last several years (with no luck I might add). Maybe this Christmas will be it. You could make my Christmas this year Kelly!!! No pressure. :) Eternal Reflections Photography is based out of Canada and they are the ones hosting this giveaway of the Kelly Moore Bag...so check out their fantastic photography work while you are at it. All the photographers involved are amazing. Props...Radelle. :) Take a good long look at these great bags and enter the awesome giveaway by clicking the link below:
