Mom's Collection of Glass Christmas Trees

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I am blessed to be surrounded by family.  Although my hubbie's absence is never far from my mind and heart my parents, cousins, grandparents, aunts & uncles are doing a great job of keeping me entertained.  Cheers to you all! I'm off to help my mom in the kitchen.  :)

Honoring Mom

Everything happens for a reason.  I was originally supposed to come up to SLO last week for some photography work but it was postponed and I ended up coming up this weekend, which just happened to be Mother's Day.  I'm so glad I got to spend this day and weekend with my mom!

We spent the morning on a brunch cruise on Morro Bay - absolutely lovely!  The weather was gorgeous and we had a nice big group of family to celebrate with.  I just wanted to take a few moments to share pictures from this morning...

Happy Mother's Day to all of the beautiful, amazing moms out there! I hope your day was special.

I love you, mom!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thirty Days of Thanksgiving - Day 25

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you have a day filled with joy, love, and friendship.  We were honored to be invited to a friend's home for the most unique Thanksgiving I have ever had.  It was a mixture of Sicilian, German, Swiss, and American.  All wonderful people, and of course delicious food.  We had a fantastic afternoon.  Now we are home and I'm reflecting on everything I truly have to be thankful for.

Today I am thankful for:

1. Wonderful people to spend Thanksgiving with
2. A truly unique Thanksgiving experience
3. Not having to cook the entire meal by myself without all of my wonderful kitchen tools that are somewhere along their journey to San Diego
4. A fantastic family who I can't wait to see when I get back to the States

What are you thankful for today?

Buona Pasqua

Happy Easter! Just a short, quick post and then we are headed to a friend's house for an Easter potluck. I wanted to share a few pictures of the eggs that Les and I colored last night. We had so much fun!
