Early Christmas Present

Filed Under: Photography

I have wanted a kitchen aid mixer for as long as I can remember. I finally convinced Kenny to buy one for me on black friday. We bought it online from Kohls and got a really awesome deal. I was not suppose to get it before Christmas but I also convinced him to let me open it early. I had to make cookies for my upcoming co-host date with Branson. See the button above to learn how you can join in.

We were given a used colored Christmas tree but when we put it up I wasn’t a fan. I did snap a quick bokeh picture though. Then we put up our normal tree.

Life.Captured.   Look whooooo’s snapping Happily Mother After

My favorite  photo from this week.

We have been having some gorgeous sunsets.

You see the logo for my photography business? I am in the process of changing everything over. I added a bunch of new photos to my blog so make sure you check it out. I probably won’t use it all the time for Naptime Momtog but I wanted to show it off. He he.

    I absolutely love your photos and can't wait to check out your blog!! Also I'm way jealous of your Kitchen Aid mixer. I've had my plain white one for about 10 years now. I'm ready for a fun color, just can't decide. It's still working great though so I'm sure some lucky person will get my white one.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
