It's beginning to look a lot like..........

Christmas! What a beautiful time of year for a wedding!!! Mr S and I are getting ready to attend the wedding of one of our son N's best friends, Christopher. They met in Kindergarten and have been best buds ever since. I will never forget Chris's adorable round face with the big smile staring out the window of the School Bus each day.......always sitting in the very first seat. One of the best things about their friendship is it brought one of my best friends into my life......Chris's mother.....my friend Mary. Love you guys and am really looking forward to celebrating with all of you today!

Seeing Santa

Miss J and I took Ryleigh to see Santa today at the Bass Pro Shops in Foxboro. For those that don't know this......a visit with Santa is FREE at the Bass Pro Shops. They even allow you to take your own photos of Santa with your child/children! We had a fun day, and did some Christmas shopping while we were there.

Ryleigh wasn't too sure about what to think of the big guy........

Procrastination

I MUST work on my procrastination. It is probably my worst trait........

Let it snow

Loved the snow today. It prettied things up around here.

Do you see the "bird" in the tree? I had to do a double take when I first saw it! 

Deck the Halls

How's your Christmas preparation coming along? Have you got your tree up yet? Your house decorated? Your shopping started?
Yeah.....I'm a little behind on all of the above. I did start decorating the house. Hope to finish that tomorrow. The thoughts of decorating inspired me to make this image:

This year Christmas seems like it's approaching so quickly, huh? But ready or not....here it comes! 

Edaville Railroad

I went on a roadtrip to Edaville Railroad in Carver MA with my Camera Club last Saturday evening....to photoraph the Festival of Christmas Lights. It was a chilly evening, but with virtually no wind, it felt comfortable and refreshing to be outdoors. As always, I had a great time out photographing with my friends.

With the magic of a slow shutter speed....

And finally the star of the show.......the train of course!

I know I have been slacking with my blog posts recently....it has been brought to my attention :-). So....I am going to try to post daily from now until Christmas day!

Christmastime with Ryleigh

Christmas is going to be extra special for our family this year, since we now have Ryleigh to celebrate with. She brings so much happiness, love, and joy into our lives!!!
