Merry Christmas from the Barbeau Family

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Hope you have a nice relaxing time with friends and family!

Here's our Christmas card that we sent out this year to family:

Back:  I put a family picture on the back with no writing so that the Grandma's and other family members could put it in a frame if they would like

52 Week Challenge - Week 50

This week's theme was "After".  The kids were busy decorating a gingerbread house this week so I thought I would post the "After" they were done picture (maybe I should post an after they attacked the house picture as well :))

If you would like to play along, next week's theme is "Tired"

52 Week Challenge - Week 49

This week's theme was "smiles".  It was my 40th Birthday yesterday so thought I would do a mini photo shoot for myself.  I was too lazy to take out the tripod so my lovely daughter helped me out and took the photo for me...I think she did an awesome job, i love it!

I've tried taking more serious photos of myself but none of them look right unless i'm smiling.  If you know me well, you'll know that I always seem to have a smile on my face.  I've even had people make fun of me for smiling too much but to me that's a compliment.  My daughter came home from school the other day and commented that her friends keep telling her she smiles all the time...If she had to inherit something from me then I think that's a great thing!

If you would like to play along, next week's theme is "After"

52 Week Challenge - Week 48

I'm a little late posting this but last week's theme was "Beyond Reach".  My husband recently joined a men's soccer league so the kids and I went to watch him play.    The lighting in the soccer dome was really bad but I still had fun playing with my camera.

Here are a few photo's to go with this week's theme (my husband is the one in the red shorts):

The next one crack's me up...can you find the ball?  He's purposefully getting in the way of the ball when the other team was kicking it in (no wonder he comes home with bruises every week)

He's an excellent soccer player and did really well when we were there despite having a bad cold.  Here he is getting a goal.

Stay tuned for this week's theme which is "Smiles"
