Welcome back and Happy New Year! We are excited to bring you our 10 on 10 this year. 10 images taken over the period of 10 hours on the 10th of the month every month. We are excited to bring you a group of photographers that will awe and inspire you to do this challenge with us! Start your own 10 group! So grab your cameras and start shooting for an entire day, every hour for 10 hours. It is such an amazing feeling to shoot all day and be able to tell a story with my images. This month’s edition was shot over the holiday break. We headed to Chicago to visit family and celebrate the holidays. One of the first days there we took the Metra into the city, which is such a “new” thing for our girls. We wanted them to experience the American Girl Doll Store on Michigan Avenue.

In between my holiday shoot schedule and all the activities with my girls, I found some time to shoot with a friends macro lens this past weekend. Such a change of pace. Enjoy my taste of holiday macro. Happy Holidays!

These images are from last Thursday. 25 people came to our home to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. You see, that bird will go down in the history books. My mom and I have been making the same MS recipe for at least the last ten years. I don’t think Martha Stewart even has the recipe available on her site anymore. It’s an amazing one. All the root vegetables, cheesecloth and Madiera wine……I have to freeze the leftover gravy, it was that good.
More importantly, though….It was a holiday to remember. My most beloved family members were all under one roof for the day. It has been one of the most challenging six months for my family. And, I am so grateful that we were able to break bread and enjoy some of the finer things all together. Mostly, Thanksgiving for me is pure family, food, love and life. I am blessed that I get to share this life with such amazing people. I adore them. I will do anything for them. Especially fill their bellies with this…

HAHAHAHA!! I can’t stop laughing, because what you can’t tell from the pictures is that they were all trying to get the wagon up the hill and then my daredevil son and Tanner got in the wagon at the top of the hill and pushed off so they could ride down into the ditch in the wagon!! Gretchen’s boys have more sense and just watched the crazies!!
-
I want to go back to that little heaven in earth ASAP. Those boys were a blast to watch.

I am thankful for…….
the change of seasons.
the backyard. Full of happiness and serenity.
wiener dog love. My little Cosmo. He is such a sweet and loyal little pup. He is about 9lbs. soaking wet. Seen here as my mole catcher.
freedom. I love my country. I am so proud to be an American and respect our nations real heros, those who fight for our freedom every day, the US Military. Lilah’s preschool class put up 2740 of these mini flags on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this year in the front of their school so the children learned the impact of our loss that day.
laughter and the fall line up. I am in love with the new fall line up shows like Up All Night, New Girl, Suburgatory, and Happy Endings.
art. creativity. I love and appreciate all kinds of art, especially the stuff my kids bring home from school. Or the round table they have decorated in my basement off the cuff.
my education. This is something I am thankful for and noone can ever take away from me. I earned it and I am proud of my education and where it has taken me in life.
rain. Or any type of large body of water: ocean, river, lake or pond.
family night at Chick Fil A. I actually finished a meal because of the “balloon man”.
my family. They are my source of energy, love and support. I adore them.
