Thankful.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

This has been a great year for our family! 

So much to be thankful for...

• Our healthy, super happy, cute baby boy Jack
• Mitch working hard to provide for our family so that I can stay home with Jack
• Our awesome and supportive families
• Our friends who provide us with lots of laughter and relief from life's stresses
• Our pets--unconditional love
• Our house and items that help us to have a comfortable life that others aren't as fortunate to have.
• mJoy Photography's continuous growth and the wonderful opportunities it presents to us and friendships we have made through it.
• And I definitely have to give a shoutout to my amazing husband who has had to provide me with more support than I thought possible with me becoming a new mommy. Without him, I would have simply been lost. Such a blessing to have someone by your side through all of life's adventures.

We are beyond lucky and fortunate! 

Now onto a less serious note, I am so lucky to have found pinterest. Seriously obsessed. Can't give enough love on my blog for pinterest. Check it out... After my blog :)

Anyways, a while back someone had pinned a turkey shirt from etsy onto their "pinterest board". I saw it and knew I had to make it for Jack. So I did.

Here it is:

He will be wearing it home to the farm for the weekend to see my family. 

Can't wait to put it on him! He is going to love it I am sure!

And now with Thanksgiving over... Onto Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year.

I know what we will be listening to on our drive home :)

So thankful...

Happy Thanksgiving All. Headed to a family gathering to celebrate what we are thankful for and to enjoy a delicious meal. Tis the season for yummy meals and treats :)

I am very thankful for many things....
*My husband who is always there for me and helping out
*My cat and my dog
*My family
*Our house that is always warm
*My job that I love
*My health
*All the wonderful things this next year holds
*mJoy Photography (it has given us many opportunities and provides an income)
*My AWD car...Necessary in Fargo

And just for a little extra on the post I will include some pictures because they always make it better right? :)

Mac's mini pre-thanksgiving meal. So cute right?

 How about some Cran-Slam scent in light of Thanksgiving? Yummy. 

 Mac was sitting on Mitch's back the other night and I had to capture what I saw when I looked at Mitch. HAHA. 

Also, I finished a Christmas craft last night so I will be posting pictures in the next few days to come. Depends on how crazy we go Black Friday shopping. May be tired :) 

Don't mind if i do. :)

Sorry I have neglected you. I feel bad. Honestly.

Life has been a little crazy but good has come from it.

Saw my parents this weekend. Love them. Had a good time and glad I got to see them. p.s. We picked up a lot of craft supplies for the multiple projects I have on my to-do list so I should have some projects to show soon :)

Got a bunch of preschool cubby decorations colored. They look super cute. I know will be ready for two-three months worth of decorations. Ahh I love working ahead.

Turned on the X-mas lights a few times this weekend. Broke the "no xmas decorations before Thanksgiving" rule and my hubby ok'd it this year. Yes.... We will see about putting up the tree. I am itching for them to go up. Or at least one? We'll see. We do have a few photoshoots this week so we will be busy.

By the way, I mentioned the Xmas lights. I no longer have to feel guilty about the Xmas/Christmas word debate because I googled it. X because of some language translations stands for Christ. Yep. You heard me right. It's ok to say Xmas and not feel bad about it. Although others don't know that so get the word out so that they don't silently think we are being incorrect.
Here is the explanation if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas

Found out there is going to be a "Little Fockers" movie in theatres December 22. LOVE Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers. Can't wait to see this movie.

Then we finished out the weekend with a meeting for Help Portrait. My husband, along with other photographers is coordinating an event in Fargo/Moorhead for less fortunate people/ families by supplying them with a free photoshoot. Its an amazing event on December 4th that happens in cities all over the US on the date. We are still finalizing details on what organizations will be participating.

Better head to bed so that I am ready to take on the classroom kids again this week. Although with Thanksgiving on Thursday, it gives me one more thing to be thankful of. Only two days of work this week!!!

Thank you Thanksgiving :)
