I made my own Christmas cards again this year. Simple. I cut out some large letters as seen, embellished them and used some Christmas lights to "light" up the picture. Above are the ones I chose to use, but they were all good. The "O" pictures below are cute. Enjoy!

 What a yummy feast! We had turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, yams, rolls, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, cream corn, raspberry pretzel salad AND five pies....chocolate caramel walnut, banana cream, apple, wild berry, and pumpkin cheesecake!

 Food coma? Yes. 

We had some wonderful new friends of ours over for the holiday and we think they're awesome! The kids got to have a lot of fun. The adults played games for like four hours and we all ate ourselves silly. That is how the day is supposed to be spent. :)

Florida. Our new adventure! Beaches. Sunshine. Enough said :)

 I finally found the time to work on my Luau post! Be sure to check out my other pictures on my Culinary Creations and Craftastic Stuff pages. Above are the pictures that didn't quite fit in those pages, but deserved to be recognized! Party favors included lais and sunglasses. Somehow I managed to get a bouncy castle that was had a Luau theme to it. How cool is that?! Water bottles were served in a beach themed floaty. I forgot to get a good photo of all the banners I made out of hawaiian themed scrapbook paper, but this picture shows a few of the decorations.

Flip flop pinata went right along with the all the other flip flop decorations. It kind of took over as the overall theme I think. The guests were directed to the backyard festivities with this tiki posts and ribbon path. I also wrote all over the sidewalks and driveway in chalk, "Luau this way!" and "Are you ready to party?!" hehe...so fun!

 

 It was a last minute decision but we decided to do the St Lukes Women Fitness Celebration 5K! I did it with my awesome sis and one of my best friends from High School, Marisa. We did the stroller wave with the kiddos. Savannah walked most of it and I carried Abigail for half of it...but it was totally worth it!

Six month photos I took of my nephew Hayden! He's a cutie! Happy Half Year buddy!

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm pleased to introduce to you Aubrianna Renee Greenwood. I had the wonderful opportunity to take some newborn photos for Emily and Kenny. Here's a few to showcase. It was so much fun! I've never done much of photography and certainly don't have a camera suitable for it but I think they turned out alright. It's not hard to take a good photo when the girl in it is as adorable as this!
