Since my freshman year of college, my brother, sister and I have taken a Christmas picture together to give as gifts to the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. It's become an expected tradition by all and over the years it has morphed into something all it's own. The first few years it was a nice, traditional shot of the three of us in front of the Christmas tree, but one year, in our haste to get all of our holiday "things" done, we almost forgot! So, on Christmas Eve while we were all wrapping presents together at my house, we remembered that we hadn't yet taken our picture so we scrambled together and got a shot that ended up being HILARIOUS! That night when everyone opened up their picture, they were in hysterics....and from that point on, the bar was set. Each year we have to try and out do last year's picture and let me tell you, it is SO MUCH FUN! This year, because of the new addition to our family, I came up with something totally different, but equally hysterical (partly due to Sam's footie pajamas). Here is the finished product. Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a blessed holiday.

finally
I'm FINALLY getting around to posting photos from our 4th of July beach trip! I had an amazing time with my family and friends. This trip has been an annual vacation for so many years (and with the same crew) that I can't even count! I am so blessed to be surrounded by such a wonderful circle of people that I love so dearly. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the week...enjoy!

happy "BITHDAY" adam!
Last Sunday was Adam's birthday. He was in town visiting all week, so I had planned and promised to bake him a birthday cake...but since Mamaw Dean so graciously baked one for him, I reneged on my promise (and in the process hurt his feelings :( ...which EVERYONE knows about since he spread the word quickly!!) Anyway, even though I didn't bake a cake myself, I was determined that he should have a cake on his actual birthday (since he ate the WHOLE cake that Mamaw made well before the day!) so, on our way home from dinner we stopped by Publix to pick one up. After choosing a cake, we asked the bakery lady if she could write "happy birthday adam" on the cake...."Sure!" she said. I went off to grab some milk and extra icing....that's right, EXTRA icing...because there just wasn't enough on there already for the birthday boy......and I left Adam at the counter to wait on the finished product. When I returned, I looked down and this is what I saw...

.....that's right, folks! I'm not going to write anything else, because really, what can you say?!

love Thursday
I had originally logged on to post about loving my camera and taking pictures and blah, blah, blah....basically I have nothing to blog about and was feeling guilty for not posting in a while. But then I read this and my heart ached. The love she has for her children is strong and fierce. She is Adam's sister-in-law and Canon is his niece. I am hoping and praying that the diagnosis is a good one and that everything will be fine. I believe deep down that it will be. Prayers are precious...so if you do it, add them to your list.
