Shop Shop Shop!

Thursday was nice. I love Thanksgiving!

Friday...well, let's see...I was up at 7:30 - nothing out of the ordinary. We were out of the door at 8:30, my mom and me...

8:35 - we stopped for some mocha iced coffee...I loved it, mom said it wasn't sweet enough...off to pick up Granny.

9:10 - We've got Granny...I'm in the back seat, and it's off to the mall!

9:40 - Parking place?? We can't park here! Isn't this illegal? So what!

"OK Granny...do you have your cell just in case we get separated??" "Yes! I've got my cell!"

10:00 JC Penney - Have you seen Granny? No. Did we lose her already!? Yes.

10:10 - We call Granny. Oops. forgot to mention to her that she ought to turn her phone on! What to do? Shop.

10:30ish (I'm starting to lose track of time) The mall is packed. Granny could be anywhere. We hit a toy store. I make a purchase for my mom, friend, and neice. Mom buys something for my uncle. Who says toys are just for kids?

11:00 - about 1:30 - We stumble about aimlessly looking for a lost Granny making absent minded purchases as we go. Why won't she turn on her cell??!

About 1:45 - Finally!! Her phone magically begins to ring! We finally locate Granny! We're a bit peeved...

Around 2:00 - Granny buys us each a sweater...no longer peeved with Granny.

So we shop a bit more and take Granny home...Are we done? No way! We're just getting started!

It's off to Ross and Target...about 10 purchases later we're headed home!

Mike calls while we're on the way...He's had the kids all day! I'll be there soon honey...

6:30 - I'm home. Tired and my feet are killing me! Not to mention I lost both of my contacts during the day and my head is spinning...

What an adventure!

Not done...

Off to a birthday party!

Home.

Kids to bed.

Back in the car at 10:30 PM. I must find those toys the boys want!

10:35 - Wal-mart. Toy section...drat! I can only find one. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

Home. Shower.

11:30 - Bed!

It's going to be a great holiday season! :)

Sugar and Spice

(I know, I know...just cut and paste, OK?) ;)

Thanks for letting me share these, Lori...I really love them...

I love these people...

I took these in Lori's living room using her back drops and by an open window which she thought would be a great spot. She was totally right!

I wish I could show you some of Lori's own work. She's really a great photographer herself! We've been doing some work together lately, and that's been a lot of fun!

I haven't done one of these in a while...

Just for Crystal... (even though her last comment to me was that I look great for being 30) ;)

I'm not ashamed to say that in certain ways I'm your stereotypical woman.

Thanks Mike. Simple enough, right?

(check out that cake...4 layers of homemade goodness...I think I ate a bit too much, but hey, it's not everyday you turn 30 - thank goodness.)
