Luminary Night

So the day of Coopertown Civic Associations Luminary Night is finally here, The kids are excited and can't wait for the party to start. We were somewhat lucky with the weather, cold but sunny.

Kristin had made an elf hat with a friend of hers yesterday

Brian was off work this year and able to help out with the luminaries

Maura Jane - Day 8th

I stopped by their house the other day to capture some more precious images of Maura Jane.

She is just adorable, and not further comments are necessary

A few Christmas shots were required at this time of the year

On request of Daddy

So it is almost time for our annual luminary night with carriage ride through the neighborhood, that means that it is also time for the luminaries to be assembled. We met at a Coopertown neighbors house on Sunday for a little assembly party.

10 candles, 10 white bags and some sand, and the bag is assembled.

Now only another 300 bags to go and we will be all done

With some teamwork, it goes a lot faster

The sand men

Not to little or not to much

Union break

Hot chocolate for everybody

Making sure that every bag is accounted for

Big and small giving a helping hand

Then it is time for Pizza

The girls enjoying lunch

The first snow arrived the day before and there was a little time for a snowball fight.

Maura Jane - 1 Day Old

So Maura Jane decided to wait till after Thanksgiving to arrive. I think she should have waited another 2 days, so I could have won the 50/50 that I entered at the baby shower. One of the girls were spot on, the right date, sex, and weight, good for her.

On November 30th I dropped by the hospital to see little baby Maura Jane.

The newborns are so angelic. The only problem is that it does not last all that long!!

A Little memorabilia.

Maura came from the Nursery with a little bow.

Having seen a lot of newborns, I can honestly say that she looks beautiful and arrived with a perfect shaped head..

The one eyed bandit

She arrived just in time to receive her first Christmas ornament.

The only photo I could get with her eyes open.

Our Cousin's Maternity Session

Our cousin's are expecting their first child in the end of the month.

We are still thinking they planed this to get out of hosting this years Thanksgiving Day dinner! Last year she told me she really wanted to host Thanksgiving, but could be hard since her due date is the following day.

This week I was able to shoot their maternity session:

Brian (a Mets fan) and Kevin (a Phillies fan) have been battling the entire season, wanted me to make this session very special, if you understand what I mean! I love my husband, but I have to draw the line somewhere.

Coopertown Elementary School's Halloween Parade and Party

It was once again time for the Coopertown elementary school parade and following halloween party.

Kristin figured out early that she wanted to be a cow girl; (unsure if it is because Brian has been a cow for the last 15 years and maybe she thought she could boss him around for a change). She had mommom look high and low for cowboy boots and thrilled when she saw the boots for the first time.

Lots of good food at this party

Britt was a different story, she wanted to be a rockstar.... After not figuring out what to wear we ended up taking a trip to the costume store. She fell in love with the pirate coustume, so she decided to be a rocking pirate!
