Wordless Wednesday - Christmas Village

On Thanksgiving my family and I visited a  magical wonderland at the Christmas Village.  Here are a few of the pictures taken there:

Family, Food, Play, Nap, & Christmas


Thanksgiving this year was wonderful. 

It was filled with loving family…

 
 
Fun play…

 
Yummy food (not pictured is the yummy meat-free lasagna we had)…


 
Sleepy nap time (naturally after all that food)…



And a bit of Christmas adventure.


Here's wishing everyone a relaxing week and a season full of cheer!

Raspberries for Christmas?

My brother in laws hates to get his photo taken.  Even so, he is willing to once a year humor his wife and allow his sister-in-law to take a few family pictures.   So off to the park we went.


Naturally (considering the primary star of the session is only about 15 months old) the majority of the photos were a result of play. 

There were a few wardrobe adjustments here and there…

And a few traditional poses attempted…

However, traditional quickly turned to giggles…
 

Proprietary was thrown to the wind…



And an “anything goes” approach was taken.

 Thanks to Jess, Joe, and the little one for a fun day at the park! 
 
Lesson 1: Plan to take photos inbetween nap times if possible, but don't force it. 
Lesson 2: Scout out the location you plan to shoot at ahead of time if possible.  There can be a neat hidden away place right around the corner if you take the time to look.
Lesson 3: It's OK to stop before the time period.  Sometimes everyone just needs a nap.  ;)

Buyers' Choice Halloween

If you follow my blog than you already know that every year my mother and I visit Buyers’ Choice around March (when we both celebrate each other’s birthdays).   After years of hearing how wonderful these trips are, my hubby decided that he needed to go see this magical place for himself.

So…two weekends ago (after being cooped up in a hotel the majority of the week with no place to go – compliments of Hurricane Sandy) he decided that Buyers' Choice was the perfect place to find some holiday cheer.
I’ll admit.  I was a little hesitant at first.  I’m one of those people that complain if Christmas decorations and sales are up before thanksgiving and the idea of going to Buyers' Choice (a place known for their Christmas Carolers and Christmas cheer all year round) was a bit intimidating.
So...you can imagine my delight when I came across this display in their museum. 
 
Seeing it really made my day and had me wondering if they set up a little display  for each of the different holidays.  Maybe I'll have to go back to see what they have around Thanksgiving.

Wordless Wednesday - Belated Halloween

Last week Hubby and I took our Annual Vacation.
Which meant an important Holiday Wordless Wednesday photo didn't get shared.
So without further delay...

 
Happy Wordless Wednesday!
