Manic Monday!

What a week it was!  You’d think that things would slow down with school is letting out soon, but I think the opposite is true.  This time of year is filled with weddings, engagement and family shoots, birthdays, and more!  It is a fun and BUSY time of year!  There were so many eventful happenings this past week so I will just touch on the important ones briefly!  The first is, Carter turned four on Thursday!  If you missed his birthday post, you can check it out here.  🙂  He was so adorable when he woke up….he literally thought that when he woke up, he would be all grown up.  He even told me his clothes didn’t fit anymore because he was “growed” up lol.  He had a fun day filled with presents, Chuck E. Cheese and Geleti Celesti during the first half of the day and then more presents, swimming, and cake that evening.  All-in-all, it could not have been a more perfect birthday for a sweet four year old boy.  Saturday, Kaleigh had her birthday party with her friends at the place where she takes gymnastics.  She normally requests to have her parties at our home, however, this year she was ecstatic to be able to go to her favorite place!  The girls had a great time playing, bouncing, climbing, swinging, and doing a couple of crafts.  I even had a photo booth set up for pictures….I hope to get these photos on the blog at some point.  I had a wedding that evening(crazy I know!)  This wedding was actually a Pakistani wedding and my first time ever photographing something like this.  I must say, I was so excited because all of the girls were so dressed up and everything was beautiful!  I really enjoyed getting to be a part of such a fun event and seeing the cultural differences; it was definitely a fun learning experience for me.

PIN IMAGEAfter a very long and eventful Saturday, I got to wake up yesterday morning and clean and prepare all day for Kaleigh and Carter’s birthday party with the family!  It was a beautiful day filled with piles of presents, amazing cupcakes, good conversation, and happiness all around.  Kaleigh’s favorite present of the day was the Julie American girl doll and Carter’s favorite present was his Captain America Superhero on a motorcycle haha.   PIN IMAGEI should have taken a photo of all the toys laying around the living room floor..it was insane!  Whew!!  What a whirlwind last weekend was!  Such great memories and happy times.  And now its back to work!  Here is a recap for you…..
