Celebrating the Christmas Holidays has always been about being All TOGETHER.
For years our family managed to get up to our farm where there is plenty of space to hang out for a long weekend to celebrate. We not only have the main house with four bedrooms but there are also four cabins on the property, what is the problem is getting the whole crew off of work at the same time. Last year our Christmas Day was January 15th.
This year was tricky, two of the oldest grandchildren now play basketball for their schools, and Christmas Holidays spell Holiday Tournament, they can't go anywhere.
With the help of my daughter Erica, we found the solution. We rented a private home on Greenwood Lake that would accommodate all 17 of us and it was a 15-minute drive to the kids' schools. PERFECT.
We all went to the games, clapped, and cheered for Ava and Owen then went to the lake house to exchange gifts, eat, drink and sleep over in this gorgeous rustic home.
It was such a wonderful weekend!
We did a grab bag that included several flashlights, the perfect tool for the little ones to make #shadows for grammy to photograph. So cute! They now know all about the shadow hunter's community and how to look for the perfect shadow for the contest.
So, what do you see?
My peanut Peyton saw it first, her dog Opie.
Here he is just sniffing around.
I told them to use their imaginations and the flashlights to make some cool shadows.
It didn't take them long to create those cool #shadows.
Here's where we stayed.
We have already talked about renting this place again.
Having this perfect location is what sold me.
Great place to photograph my own shadow.
So sweet having them all under one roof, I am on cloud nine when we manage to get all of the family under one roof. I love watching them share the love, then fight over the LAST cream puff... most times someone gets it in the face, gosh it's fun, sharing time together, now that's a reason to celebrate.
Much love,

Very bright ideas about the flashlight, kids, and shadows. These made the concept of shadows even more beautiful and great captures from you my friend. I genuinely love the outcomes. Have a great day.
Wow, that must have been a most enjoyable time. Grandkids are the best understudies when it comes to SMAShing (Showing Me A Shadow). Those are really cool ones. But you kind of missed mentioning if your grandkids' basketball team won lol.
Best of luck with the contest 😊
Sounds like a perfect solution and you all got to be together! Such a wonderful house, from the photos. :))
Yay! 🤗

oh, I am happy to be here.
Having all your family together is simply the best! And you are teaching the grandkids so much by hunting shadows with them! Thanks for entering the Shadow Contest again🌞 🌞
What a great thing to do with the grandkids! I was thinking how much fun torches are when you are little. They just love them! And so cool you found a solution to the getting together issue!
