We have a little remodeling project going on...my sister came over with some paint colors she had kicking around and we talked colors for a while. Decisions, decisions...
November 23
My sister-in-law came over and we had a baking night in anticipation of lots of company and parties. The girls "helped".
What a face!

Shaun gave me a big surprise by presenting me with a box that said "Nikon" on it....a new lense (50mm 1.4)! It is very similar to my favorite one that walked away with my former camera. It has lots of great uses, one being that it does well in low light settings. Knowing I'd be needing wanting it for the upcoming Nutcracker performances the girls will be in, he gave it to me early so I could use it. A man who listens, understands, cares....and he's mine! Needless to say, I snapped lots of pictures testing it out.

Shaun's grandparents arrived from Florida to spend Thanksgiving with us. Shaun had a basketball game so we made it a family affair.
November 26

Shaun took his three girls to Boston to see The Nutcracker.
Sara had a great Thanksgiving week, too, warm southern style in short sleeves!

ReplyDeletemy kids, and mine :), favorite thing to do when baking!!! There is usually a fight over the beater even today!!!
How did the girls like the nutcracker?
the nutcracker? i would LOVE to see the nutcracker! i loved the pictures of Amanda's birthday, you did a great job on the cake, and what you wrote was so sweet. you are such a good mommy. have a great week ahead, we are gettin so close to the end of this project! it went by so fast.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Amanda! Lisa, even though she is a year older she will always have her wonderful big personality! Heads up for the Nutcracker. Flash photography is STRICTLY forbidden! BUT you can get some good shots of the stage rehearsals and parents are usually welcome to observe! Bring your camera today for picture day. If you stay ready, you can get a quicky in the hall! The pics will be available to purchase online soon! I usually take a screen shot for my blog! Nutcracker can be overwhelming. I hope these tidbits help!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great week! And I am jealous of both the camera lens AND the Nutcracker.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Amanda!
Loved the 1st Thanksgiving tee, and the smile!
