Collin's birthday invitation is so DARN cute that I had to post it, since no one but his little buddies will see it.

Winter race
I haven't posted in a while now because Thanksgiving kicks off the busiest time of the year for us.
We move from my birthday to Joann's to Christmas and then straight in to Collin's birthday and then Kayla's. Collin's birthday planning is always a bit of a challenge. We either have to plan and get invitations out before Christmas, or have his party a week late so that his friends have time to get invitations and rsvp, etc.
This year we're going to get our invites out early!
Collin is switching over to a new place for swimming. He will start after Christmas and I believe that is where he'll have his 4th birthday party.
He wants a spiderman theme and Spiderman, himself might show up.
Kayla continues with piano and she is doing great!
Both kids start their acting classes beginning in January.
I have a long break from shooting weddings, but I continue to stay very busy editing for O Grace and working with my own families as well.
That is my little update... more later I hope.

hanging out with the Whartons
Our week with Jim, Colleen and Hannah has been so wonderful. It was very hard to see them go this morning. We had such a great time visiting, going out and taking the kids to see "Bolt" which I would HIGHLY recommend.
Thanksgiving was the perfect meal and ending to our visit.
We look forward to having Great Grandma here for another week though!
Here are some pictures from the week.

Fun at Girly Girlz
Kayla and Hannah enjoyed a "Diva Spa Hour" at Girly Girlz.
Included in their experience was a themed hairstyle (they chose the rock star theme)
makeup, nail painting and accesories for pictures.
They had such a great time and felt so grown up!
Afterwords they put on a quick pretend rock performance outside the store.

Talent Show
We were so excited to spend the week with Jim, Colleen and Hannah.
They came in from Florida on Saturday, and we kicked off the week with a party and talent show at my parent's house on Sunday.
Everyone displayed a talent, whether it was a craft, hobby, or performance.
It would take quite a bit of typing to describe how proud I am of all of my family members and how talented they all are. This was the best party I've ever been to and I think we all had a blast! Here are some pictures from the party and talent show:
Robin's Photography
Joann's needlepoint stockings
Jim's marine science posters
Hannah's cat picture and drawings
Kayla's flower drawing
Collin's monster drawing and storytelling
Nana's fused glass and jewelry
Colleen and Kelsey's awesome recipes
Chris's rockin' guitar performance
Papa Tom's singing and rhyming with Collin
Kayla played a piano piece with her eyes closed and sang "Bleeding Love". :)
Great Grandma watched it all with pride and said that all of us were her talent and craft.
We all thanked Papa and announced that he was the one who came up with the talent show idea and he put it all together.

Kayla's commercial
Kayla's commercial was filmed on Sunday and I hear it went very well!
Tim took her to the location and stayed with her and although I was so sad to
have missed it (I had to work that night) I'm glad that he got to experience it.
He is always a calming presence so maybe that was a good thing for her first
real paid acting job.
She loved working with the director and producers. Tim said she went through the entire process of filming so it was great experience.
She had to check in to the "talent holding room", go through hair, makeup and wardrobe, and do monitor checks for the fiming crew who had her change a couple of times to get the look right. She went through several "takes" and had so much fun, while learning so much! I'm really excited for her.
The commercial will be on all the local channels, but we will also be sent a link, so I'll post that here when it is time. It will be a month or two before the commercial is running.
This week we are relaxing and enjoying time with family, as my Grandma, Jim, Colleen and Hannah are here!!!
