The snow flakes that are falling tonight are stunning. I used my macro 100 mm lens to capture these pictures. I am going to try again tomorrow in the light just to see if there is a difference

New head shot for my TJ
I totally love TJ's latest head shot from SOCKO! He has a soft dreamy look and I love his eyes.
He is living up to his nickname "Teen Dream" on the set

What a great day to take Karrick and his buddy sledding!
It was cold and the hill had a sheet of ice under the snow, but it was fast and fun!
I went down once and and my face was cover in snow. COLD!
It did make for some great pictures

Call me the crazy cat mom, but I had to add a couple of the kitten.
Riley must think my long arms are tree limbs. He loves to wrap his arms and legs around them

Ringing in the New Year
 |
| New Years Eve was as mellow as it could get. The boys had an indoor snowball fight. Each received a bucket with 6 soft snowballs from Santa. Then TJ went out to celebrate with friends, with strict instructions not to be driving around. Katie and Cal settled in for a movie. Tim myself and Karrick watched a movie upstairs Welcome 2014! |

Christmas Day
After 30-40? some odd years Christmas is no longer held at my parents home. My dad said it was getting too much for him. Christine and I decided to alternate years, she took this year.
It turned out fantastic, Chris lives in such a cute bungalow full of charm that it makes me miss our big old home in Oak Park. I also grew up in a bungalow in Beverly
The meal was wonderful and almost all vegan as there are only few meat eaters left.
Hard to believe there is only a year between My Niece and Karrick. My niece is just stunning!
What do you get the man that has everything? Why a Keurig of course!
Tim and I bought one about a month ago...Love it, just love it!
Due to the large group of people long tables were set up in the basement so we could all eat together. It was a great family Christmas and I like the new tradition that has started

It was a wonderful relaxing day

Christmas part 1
check out his awesome green and yellow eyes
Christmas started on Monday night when Riley came home with us. He is a 13 week old male kitten. Just the sweetest, snuggly little guy ever. Im not a cat lover, but boy oh boy he has my heart.
The boys have been asking for a kitten for a while. Tim and I went to the Hinsdale Humane society and we were led into the kitten room. Riley and his sister both stuck their paws out of the cage when we walked in. All the other kittens just laid there.
Grandma got all the necessities a kitten could possibly need for the boys for Christmas

the Week leading up to Christmas-My Boys
The last week has been busy. TJ had a Christmas promotional shoot for Family Values. They made cards for seniors to be delivered to retirement homes and read to the residents
Karrick had his annual Christmas sing at school. For the 5th year in a row Karrick is front and center...the peanut row
We made gingerbread houses and decorated our tree. Our amazing Concord fir fills our house with the smell of citrus and pine....just amazing!
I even cut off some branches and sent them home with Katie for her mom. She loved them and brought some to work. Crazy tree..love it
My Cal and katie. Cals been out with his buddies a lot...sledding and attending an all nighter game night.
He took the SAT last weekend
Karrick's dance classes are in full swing...7 a week all hip hop. He loves to freestyle around the house. We have our first competition in March in Madison WI
The TJ got new head shots with Socko this week, he looked adorable and Im hoping the picture are just as adorable. After the shoot we stopped in at Lily's Talent Agency to pick up TJ's paycheck and the print agent says "Oh my. you're so tall I love it" Do you want to do live (runway) shows?" A giant YES! came out of TJ's mouth. That is exactly what you want to hear from your agent. This was the first time we met this agent as TJ does mostly on camera stuff
A cute picture of all the hip Hop boys
We are all looking forward to the next 2 weeks of Christmas break
