"I Wanna Dance" photo challenge

 
 
This week iheartfaces is celebrating dance.
Dance plays a huge part in our lives.  
My daughter is a dancer, and she shares the stage with many other talented young dancers at her All-Star Dance gym.
 
Here is Cassi, one of her fellow dancers pouring her heart and soul into a solo performance in 2008.

A Year in Photos

I am not a photographer.  I do not understand apertures, f-stops, or exposure.  I do not own a fancy camera.
I do, however, like to take photographs.  Here is a little recap of what my family was doing during the year Two Thousand Nine.
In JANUARY we watched Lizzie’s dance coach get proposed to on the jumbotron at the Cleveland Cavs game.  Awwwww!

In FEBRUARY  my daughter competed in yet another cheerleading competition.  She’s been doing that for 6 years.

In MARCH we spent a cold, relaxing 5 days in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  We’re going back again this year.  I sure hope it’s a bit warmer this time around.

APRIL was a visit to the Newport Aquarium and the wonderful city of Cincinnati.

We set off on foot in the month of MAY  to explore the local university.  I love living in a college town.

OCTOBER was the month that my husband and I went apple-pickin in an orchard for the first time.  Yum.  I made delicious Apple Butter with these beauties.

November was the month to have fun exploring my cousin’s Ohio farm on Thanksgiving Day.

So there you have my 2009…a year in photos.  One of my goals for 2010? To get a better camera and improve my photography.  I am so grateful to have this blog to capture all of our memories.  My scrapbooking is about 2 years behind, so to be able to capture stories, photos, and memories on my blogs was a true blessing in 2009.
Here’s to 2010!

Thanksgiving....Down on the Farm.



Our Thanksgiving Day was spent at my cousin's Ohio farm. 

I took loads of photos.

Not sure anyone will want to see them, but here they are.


My sister Rachael made the cutest turkey placecards.  They were a big hit.









Saying grace before dinner.

This was a circle of 25 family members circling the room.






Turkey. 
Stuffing. 
Mashed potatos and gravy. 
Stuffed Cabbage. 
Apple Sauce.
Salad.
Yum.



After dinner we went outdoors to walk off all of those calories.

While I was taking these photos I felt like Pioneer Woman.  You know,  minus the mad skills in photography and the kick-ass camera.  Oh, and she has like thousands of cattle, and we had 8 cows.

Moo.

















Meanwhile, back inside the tryptophan had taken ahold.








It was such a special weekend with multiple family gatherings and relatives visiting from New York and Florida. 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again....Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
