Busy Week- Happy Girl!

Well I must say this week has been busy. Between finishing assignments, a quick trip to Calgary for the opening day of the final instalment of in the Twilight franchise (a family tradition for me and my sister Stephanie), photo shoots, and hockey it has been go go go. Here are a few great moments from our week.

 

~Double Date at the Movies~

 

 

Luke has grudgingly gone to all of the opening nights of the Twilight Saga with me. My wonderful sister Stephanie use to live 10 minutes away from me for years and we started the tradition of going on a double date to each part of the instalment when she lived here. Two years ago her husband got a job in Calgary and since then we have kept up the tradition by going there to watch it with them. The highlights from this year were:

- Luke Actually enjoyed this one and the look on his face during the fight scene was priceless.
- Kristen Stewart actually looked like she was semi enjoying herself.
- The end of the movie... as much as I hate to admit it, I love a sappy happy ending.
- There was action, humour, and love... all things I can get behind.
- It's nice to let the kids all play at home with uncle Mitch while we got to spend some quality time with each other and our spouses.
- My theatre poutine! It was great.

~Family Pictures~ 

 

 



I have to say even though its a bias, my sisters family is beautiful! What a wonderful mom she is and what a wonderful family she has made. Rob is a great and devoted husband and their boys are just adorable. Robbie and Charlie are getting so big, it won't be much longer before they are heading off to school, and sweet Liam is always ready with a kiss for auntie. While visiting for our movie date we took 5 minutes to do family shots (quite literally 5 minutes, if anyone else takes pictures of toddlers you can attest to their attention span- especially with Aodhan all ready to play with them!). Though they all turned out great I loved this one, and as a special bonus Robbie didn't have his braces on anymore (he has Cerebral palsy in his legs and has had casts on for the last 2 months to help correct it). And so because it was a beautiful day with a beautiful family and we had beautiful results this was a great moment in my week.

 

~ Christmas Crafts~ 

 

 

 

So I'm trying to be creative this year and I saw a cute idea on pinterest from a girls blog where she made a fabric wreath. I thought it looked so cute and since my mom has an obsession with wreaths I thought I would try my hand at it. Tada, the results look great! I know you can't really see from the picture but all the fabric is Christmas related. Now to get to all the baking and other gifts I need to get done before the holidays.

I love babies, and beautiful Asian babies even better! Our great friends Bailey and Keylan Kado had cute-as-a-button girl this week and asked me to take some quick shots for them while her parents visited from California. We got some great shots but this one made me laugh. I can almost hear her saying "NO MORE, and get this thing off me!"
