A Pictoral Ode to my Amaryllis

Happy Valentine's Day!

Personal - Xmas/Valentine's Day Bowling Party

I know I know - I've been MIA lately. But, an event came up that I just had to photograph: a Christmas/Valentine's Day Bowling Party. Yes, Christmas was six weeks ago but the Christmas party got canceled and was postponed until now.


The rules were if you dressed up in Valentine's day decor, you would get extra points. Since I'm no pro-bowler, I wore two different shades of pink and even donned a shirt with hearts on it, something I usually swear off. Our whole team also wore these glittery heart tattoos!




One team wore furry flashing heart necklaces - totally jealous! Here's Amanda modeling one.




We all brought treats too but not many of them were as pretty as Meagan's cupcakes,


or Emily's cookies (this one I took a bite of and then decided I just HAD to photograph it!)

And gets a strike!


Sassy Shanon!

The final score (yes, that's me with a measly 99 points but I was proud because I nearly got to 100!)


I vote for making this an annual event - until next year!

Thanksgiving Day (Personal)

On the way to my brother's house, we came across some deer crossing the road. This is shot through my windshield so it's a bad picture but you may be able to pick out the furry dots in the frame if you look closely.


Turkey!


Hot turkey!


The spread.


Then we all went for a walk by Lake Michigan. It was freezing but pretty.


My nephew, Josiah, wanted to go in.


Going...


going...


nearly gone.


The rest of the day was spent playing Rock Band. Here's my hubby rocking it out on the guitar.




Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
