Growing Up!

I had a busy week, but I still managed to get down the road to see my sweet little buddy for a quick visit....He is growing up so fast!

Dorothy's Wedding

Two weekends ago, I was a bridesmaid in my friend Dorothy's wedding. It was a beautiful weekend, and I am so happy for the new Mr. and Mrs. Kort Peterson! I tried to get pictures of all of the events, but I didn't realize how challenging it is to be a bridesmaid and a photographer at the same time! :) I did manage to capture a few shots.
Getting ready for the big day: I loved Dorothy's hair:

The beautiful bride:

The flowers were exquisite, and smelled divine!

First Presbyterian Church decorated so pretty for the wedding:

The Hay House where the reception was held is a gorgeous historic home. This is just one of the many rooms in the house!

A lovely display of pink carnations greeted the guests in the main hallway of the Hay House--a fitting tribute to Dorothy's mother who is rejoicing in heaven....the pink carnation is the emblem of Mother's Day, and sends the message, "I will never forget you."

The happy new couple:

I din't get a picture of the event, but I caught the bride's bouquet! If I count correctly, this would be my 6th one to catch!

Dorothy's Bachelorette Party

On Saturday night, we went out to celebrate the upcoming marriage of this beautiful bride-to-be: We went to an authentic Moroccan restaurant and enjoyed being steeped in this tradition (complete with belly dancing! :)

(Yes, I can dance and take pictures at the same time! ;)

Winter Storm 2011

It snowed! And boy was it pretty! We had so much fun watch it all pile up, and even more fun playing in it!

After all that cold, it was nice to come in and warm my footsies in front of the fire!

Birthday Girl!

My best friend's little girl turned one yesterday! Happy Birthday, Bonnie Ann! We met to take some birthday pictures, but the conditions were a little less than ideal: 1)She had just had her shots, 2)We woke her up from a nap, and 3)It was a little chilly outside! She is a cutie pie anyway, and here are some of my favs:

Christmas 2010!!

Christmas with my family was so special! We got an upgrade in our stocking size this year! It was so fun to see them all lined up together! God sent us an extra special gift--a White Christmas!

A few days after Christmas, our friends came to see us and we celebrated again!

Thomas enjoyed playing with Bonnie Ann:

The three girls and our babies (my babydoll George filled in until I can round me up a real one!)

Thomas and George are nearly the same size!

New Year's Eve was spent loving on our precious nephew....me and my little buddy:

Auntie Kat:

Uncle Jon-jon:

Thomas laughing with his mommy:

We dressed our little buddy up like santa for a photo shoot:

Granddaddy and Grandmommy:

Happy little santa:

The best stocking-stuffer EVER!!

Christmas Party

We had a great time on Saturday for my mom's side of the family Christmas party. Of course, the hit of the show was our precious bundle of joy, who is now 4 months old!
