The Five Before Thanksgiving | Fairbanks Alaska, Photographer

Just some thoughts from this crazy, busy, insanely sprinkled with unplanned moments, week:

1. Getting our hair cut was a family ordeal this week … yes, even including little mini me, which wasn’t planned but was needed (here’s hoping this doesn’t upset grandma & granny too much! she’s just got such fine hair & it was becoming a tangled mess back there – crazy enough it makes her look so much older!) … she was eatin’ it up by the big ole’ spoonful though (as my favorite Southern Belle likes to say).

2. Spent some time packaging what seemed like a million things for this week (but breathing a sigh of relief that everyone is getting everything before the onset of the holiday season – see, my deadlines don’t seem so bad after-all now do they ;) ). I heard another photographer mention that she loves when the orders & shipments arrive at her studio. Loves packaging them up to send off to their new homes … but then misses them just a tad when they are not there to look at anymore. I so feel that! It probably sounds funny. Right now I think I will miss this glorious image (as a 20×30 canvas) the most. I hope their mom takes a snapshot of it in the house & sends it over to share. :)

3. Homemade quilts and flower clips … they know who they are :) what a wonderful surprise to our week; we couldn’t be more blessed with friends like you guys!

4. Big hugs & love to Granny & Gramps! The post-Halloween dress-up costumes are a HUGE hit. Everyone has been everything from lady(or boy)bugs to Transformers to superheroes and lots of imaginative things in between that just seemed to fit the bill of dress-up but didn’t have a name. Gotta love it. :)

5. And, with a crazy hectic week that seemed to be in cahoots with the energizer bunny … we did a lot of reading. A LOT. It seemed to provide a sense of calm & peace on so many levels. It just felt right. Needless to say …

“And the tree was happy.”
