Party of 5, wk 3

Party of 5 wk3

No, I didn’t forget to post a picture for this week’s Party of 5.  Since my laptop took an untimely departure due in part to a 2 year old who shall remain nameless,  I usually use Marie’s laptop when we go on trips.  Well, the same nameless 2 year old also got her tiny little hands on Marie’s laptop and it is in the shop after a nasty fall. Thank goodness for Best Buy’s Protection Plan.

I was able to round the girls up for this group shot right before everyone started showing up for Thanksgiving dinner. The lighting was beautiful and I was able to get some great shots of everyone on the deck (stay tuned for the Thanksgiving recap Sunday). 

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, great food, and lots of  laughter, we sure did!

Party of 5, wk 2

Party of 5, wk 2 S 11th birthday

Week 2 has us celebrating Madison’s 11th birthday (a post is coming about that soon).  I love how Montana & McKenzie ham it up when the camera comes out.  Their faces are priceless.

Party of 5, wk 1

Remember when I decided to partake in the 365 picture taking last year and this year. Well, I failed both times. I enjoy taking pictures of my favorite subjects, my girls. Well, while surfing the blogs this past week I found an interesting idea of taking a weekly shot of your children in a group. I can’t take the credit for this brilliant idea, that belongs to Karli over at The Bonnie 5.


Here’s the gist.  Take a group shoot of your Party of X, which in my case is my Party of 5.  At the end of your 52 weeks you will have a nice photo journal of your children changing right before your eyes.  And what a great gift for family members too.  A weekly shot for 52 weeks.  I can handle that, can’t I?
