Yay! Got my free Christmas cards from shutterfly! They rock. I also just ordered a little present for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary coming up on the 28th. I really hope they love it.

We went on a wine trail this weekend. Just 7 of us and all family. I love my family. They are the best. It was such a beautiful November day too. Highs in the mid-60s, which allowed us to sit out on the deck at Wagner and enjoy some beer and wine. What a life. Also caught some gorgeous sunset pictures.




We spent Sunday at our Pop Warner party at the bounce house and then our annual pre-Christmas trip to Target to buy lights, wrapping papers, etc. before all the good stuff is gone. We put up our lights yesterday afternoon, taking advantage of our beautiful weather. So much nicer to put up lights when your hands are not freezing.

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a little over a week away. That means that it has been almost a year since I lost my uncle. I miss him greatly. It doesn't seem like football season without him. Hopefully Gram and Grandpa are enjoying his company.

Well, it looks like it took Shutterfly's Christmas give away to get me to my blog again. I am sure I have absolutely no followers but here it goes. They have a wonderful selection of Christmas cards. I love, simple, classy cards and this year there is an abundance. Check them out here at: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards

I fell in love with this one:

I absolutely LOVE shutterfly. I have been a loyal customer for years and years. I get all my pictures there. I have three picture websites. Two are for my kids' football team. This is from this year:

www.bvilletinymites.shutterfly.com

I believe I gave shutterfly a lot of business from that site! All the parents ordered either books or prints of their children!

I do photo books and calendars every year as gifts (http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books and http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars). I love their unlimited storage. Their products are first class and their customer service rocks. I did a large print of my sister's wedding photo. It was beautiful. She gets so many compliments on the color and quality.

This year I plan on trying my first canvas: http://www.shutterfly.com/home-decor/canvas-wall-art

On a personal note - heading out for a wine trail tomorrow with my family! I am so excited to go. It has been two years since the last one and I need to restock with my collection with some wonderful Upstate New York wine! We are hitting Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. I will be uploading many pictures to my family website.

Hopefully I will be blogging again in the near future.

Getting all ready for this weekend.

I don't know HOW I am going to be ready for the big party at the house on Sunday but I am sure it will get done. I have SO much to do.

The kids are excited that their friend Connor is coming over. They really want to show off their new swing set. He gets the honor of going on the "twirly slide".

I get to meet my cousin's new baby, Ella, on Saturday at Keri's baby shower, now the Welcome Baby party! She reminds me of my dear grandmother in the mouth, just like Sydney. I miss grandma but she lives on through all her great grand children, as does grandpa.

This blog has quickly become one of my favorites. The mom, Gen, has a great sense of humor, which is much needed with raising multiples. Keep up the good work Gen and Conor!

Well, well - I am here again!

Let's see - we had my BIL's wedding on the 28th of June. The Otesaga was beautiful. Makes me want to go there and get married all over again. What a fabulous place to get married. Of course, I am in love with Cooperstown anyway! I cannot wait to see the proofs of the pictures. Sydney was adorable and Nick so handsome in his tux. I didn't get many good pics of the kids myself as it was hard to lug the SLR around while actually being in the wedding myself.

Baby on Board signs.

Seriously, why do people think they need these in the car? Do they think that it makes them special? Do they think that people will drive extra careful because of their sign? Always hated them and probably always will.

Wow - it has been a while. I am terrible at this stuff. My best intentions to keep up with this never really pan out.

So much is going on these days. We are getting ready for my brother-in-law's wedding this weekend. Dave is the best man, Nick is the ring bearer and Sydney is the flower girl. Oh - I am in it too. It is going to be crazy but fun.

Here is Sydney in her dress.

Other than that we are looking forward to a fun and busy summer including a trip to Toronto to go to the zoo, a ballgame and then hit Niagara Falls on the way back. It is Dave's 40th birthday trip.

Hope to be back soon!
