Happy Thanksgiving!

Dawn from http://www.appleblossomphoto.com/ took these pics for us - she's a genius!

Today I'm thankful for my family full of crazy, sweet little boys. We'll be enjoying a simple, mostly paleo Thanksgiving dinner of roasted chicken, mashed root veggies with onion GF gravy, and homemade cranberry sauce. We will bake individual pumpkin pie tarts with a GF gingersnap crust. Hopefully the boys will play together without fighting (too much) and enjoy a whole day with family. I won't be online or social media, so I can focus this day on making memories with these munchkins. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday, too.

I Mustache you...

About your very shiny nose! Another craft fair treat was the mustache on a stick...though I didn't sell many since I also offered Mustaches on lollipops. Which would you choose? I even did a few sparkly Rudolph noses. My family used them in a holiday photo shoot last weekend - adorable! The Mustache Lollipops went over well at our photo shoot last year, so I knew the boys would love the shiny red noses. I loved this pic of them where Max was giving the stink-eye to the older boys 'cause he wasn't old enough to hold the lolly in his mouth like that. 

For the noses I cut 1 1/2" circles on my Cricut from Cranberry CS, then Sprayed them with silver glitter Spray before mounting on Bamboo Skewers. For the Mustaches I did varied sizes from 1 1/2" up to 2 1/2" inches. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes in the center for the lollipops. Next year we need to do Santa beards, right?

Apple Blossom Photography Rocks!

Last month Dawn from Apple Blossom Photography came to Max's preschool and took school photos. I knew her shots would be awesome, so I brought Gabe and Ben in to have their photo taken too. She has such a fabulous way with kids. She got the boys laughing and taking great photos almost as soon as she met them. I literally wanted to buy them all, every single shot, but instead I bought these five. I was gonna scrap them before sharing, but they were too good to keep to myself!

She got them to hold hands!

She got them to hug!!!

She got each one to look directly into the camera and smile. 

No smirking, no strained crazy eyes, no tongues out...

She's is totally a photography miracle worker! 

You can clearly see that Dawn is an amazing photographer. With a million rolls of film the boys would not have given me these shots. We are getting a mini holiday session with her next week - I cannot wait! These pics are going straight onto Frosted papers next month!
