We are celebrating David's 31st birthday this year by heading out to Tomales Bay on Saturday. Oysters, cheese and wine always a good time! Remember this post? Well we're doing it all over again except with a new birthday boy!

One my friend, Kristi, has asked me to come take some photos of her newborn and 2 year old son. I know I am not a professional photographer by any means but I love that she is calling on me to capture some memories for her! We are taking them inside near her fireplace. Any suggestions photographers? Settings I should have?

This Sunday we are getting our Christmas tree! And let me tell you not having it all week has made me sad! I am so excited to go chop it down!

I am also happy to say I have completed almost all of my Christmas shopping. I put David in charge of the boys in our family (except I took care of my five nephews) and have one present left to buy for my littlest nephew, Logan! Pretty great feeling!
Hope you all have a fantastic week! And don't forget to link up with us next Thursday!
Linking up with all the ladies!

Great job on your Christmas shopping! Seriously impressive! And what a fun link up idea!
ReplyDeleteWow jealous of your Christmas shopping progress! My advice for your pictures is shoot on any setting without a flash, you don't want a wrinkled brow or to wake the baby up. I use manual mode. Also bring a space heater. You will burn up but it will keep that little babe comfy and asleep if y'all decide to do naked pictures! And definitely allow yourself PLENTY of time. Newborn shoots take a really long time especially if you have a fussy baby that needs to be fed or held. If y'all are planning on doing sleeping pictures ask Mom to feed him right before you get there so he will be good and asleep. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWe got our Christmas tree last night! We didn't chop it down though, just picked it up from Costco! That's awesome you got all your shopping done!!
ReplyDeleteI wanna go to Tomales Bayyyyy!!! I've never heard of it just now, but I want to go!! have so much fun! and I wish I had my christmas shopping done! I wish I had even started it!! haha you've inspired me.
ReplyDeletejust found your blog- you're adorable. I'll be back.

I love that you cut your own tree!! Can't wait to see it all decorated :)
ReplyDeleteOysters, cheese and wine sounds amazing! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteCan I join you guys this weekend...that sounds amazing!
ReplyDeletelove the linkup idea! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you the cutest tree cutting lumberjack I ever did see?? Aaron's birthday is this month too and he is also turning 31! His is the 19th.
ReplyDeleteI've been sad this week too since we won't get our Christmas tree until tomorrow. But, our money for our tree went to a charity this year, so I try to remember that every time I get sad.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your weekend and Tomales Bay! I've heard it's gorgeous there!
Can't wait to see your decorated tree!! And I'm totally impressed you have all your shopping done! I only have 1/2 that many people to buy for and I'm still working on it - starting to feel the stress of the days running out! ;)

Chopping down a Christmas tree seem's like so much fun! I've never gotten to do that before, but I feel like I should definitely try it someday.
ReplyDeletei need to get my chrsitmas shopping butt in gear!
ReplyDeleteYou are on top of it girl! I have ZERO shopping done, ugh, I'm starting to feel the stress!
ReplyDeleteHaving Christmas shopping all done is such a good feeling! I'm so close!

Your tree chopping pictures are adorable. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI want to cut down my own Christmas tree! That's awesome! Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have our tree yet either and it's so depressing!! We going to go today but it's pouring rain here so fingers crossed for tomorrow or Sunday.
ReplyDeleteWe got our tree decorated last night! It makes me so happy! Have fun cutting down your tree! It was so weird, I've NEVER gone to a tree lot and just bought a pre-cut tree, but we did that this week since we're in SF now. So different than the tree farm! But, we went with my parents last weekend and cut theirs down, so I didn't miss out on the experience at least! xoxo Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have almost all of mine done - two people left to finish! Have fun getting the tree - we got ours last weekend!
