{This is Fun}

Yesterday my camera and I had some fun.
Still on automatic.
Still fumbling through
But I was relaxed
like Nicolle said.
And I think it made a big difference.

We had the most beautiful sunrise yesterday morning.

I have no idea how to capture a sunrise.

These pictures don't even begin to do those beautiful colors justice.

After dropping the girls off at school Aubrey and I planted ourselves in front of the tree.

We had fun.

I mean a lot of fun.

jump up!

Aubrey loves the tree.

When we decorated it, we put ornaments all over

Big mistake

Now our tree is au natural from about 3 feet off the ground.

It's still pretty though.

I know I haven't even posted any tree decorating photos yet.

What am I waiting on anyway....?:)

This weekend I promise.

I did all of these without the flash.

It's funny how the lighting looks so different.

 I had to put in those "back of the head curl" shots

{ignoring that should have been wiped face....}

loving this one

and these

some time with the big girls in front of the tree

and I think I might finally have some

Christmas card photos!

Christmas music

and Elmo

Does life get any better?

Today the girls have an early school day so we are heading to get our portraits taken, visit Santa and then have dinner in the food court! Sounds fun huh? Then we are ending this Fabulous Friday with a movie night.  We are watching City of Ember.  Anyone seen it?  Riley just finished reading the book.  It sounds pretty good.

Thanks for sitting through the endless Aubrey and the tree photos

I know I got a bit carried away.

Hope your Friday is Fabulous too!

Enjoy the day,

Cindy

Funny random story about this sweetie I don't want to forget...

Monday Dave, Aubrey and I were in Meijer and while he was checking out, we were walking around the candy aisle.  She was looking in the box of Reeses Peanut Butter Trees.  She picked two up, looked them over, then put them down...took two steps, glanced over her shoulder, then went back to the box to turn the one right-side up that she had accidentally layed upside down! That cracked me up!!!:) Can you be a perfectionist at 18 months???:) Uh oh!!
