Ok - Ready for picture overload? I also know this blog will be all over the place as many of the photos I have - I received from someone else.
On Thursday, a brewery local to Cleveland had their annual Christmas Ale tapping event. People come decked out in holiday attire, they have DJs, special treats and of course - lots of beer. Some ladies put together a bus to take us all there and back and we had a blast! I knew only about 5 of the women before the trip, but it luckily Jenn was with me and we always have a good time.
They do a whole ceremony complete with carrying the first keg to carolers to TONS of media coverage.
The best part of the day was we were home by 4:15! nothing like day drinking to start the Christmas season!
It was Homecoming week at Holy Name. Heidi had a theme every day, but on Friday they were all twins!
Friday was perfect firepit weather again! This time the Belciks joined us. It got a wee bit cold this time, but still enjoyable!
Saturday was homecoming day! Noah came over at 8 in the morning as that is when he could get dropped off. They took turns getting ready - I did both of their hair - yes both. They ate, had fun and I think Heidi and Noah enjoyed getting ready together.
Chris ran errands which included getting the flowers. I'm not sure why but it seems everyone got bouquets for the girls and no one gets the corsaiges anymore. Heidi liked not having to wear flowers!
I did my best to curl her hair. She wanted it not to be super curly, more blow out look
Noah was a good sport and let Heidi trim his hair. He must really like her - hahahahaha
Chris also bought his new mower! It was a lot of back and forth and even returned the original one he ordered because it was too big. He is very happy now.
Lucy was a perfect assistant - she held the flowers when needed or people's phones etc.
Chris even helped Noah tie his tie and even helped with the flowers.
Let the 5 billion photos start! Luckily it was a very nice 72-degree, no wind day. You just had to battle the sun and shadows because of the time of day.
I think they look great!
I think Noah feels comfortable about us now...
Someone is very happy about his new mower...
It was a great idea from Heidi to pre-take the couple photos on our patio as once you get the Coe lake - it is MASS chaos. Plus with the sun, there were few places to get into the shade for better pictures. We really didn't even get the group shot as they thought it was funny to all stand on a tiny dock. Still fun just the same!
Heidi meeting up with her best friends.
This is Cam. He is buddies with Noah as well as works with Heidi. He was cracking us up.
We still got some amazing shots! They looks great. (Heidi & Addy)
I know Lucy looks annoyed here - but she was LOVING being the person to hold everything.
Heidi and Paige
Heidi and Frankie
They both were willing to take a picture!
I used Lucy to try to scout out locations for pictures. We also have all the girls wearing high heels that they have no idea how to walk in - so we stayed around the one area...
Heidi and our neighbor's middle daughter, Michaela.
Paige, Heidi, Addy & Claire
They did not want to do a group shot... we tried...
Noah caught Chris sneaking a picture...
More friends...
Heidi's other BFF - Reagen...
And Kensi
Ha.
They would trade off giving their feet a rest. At least she changed into tennis shoes before the dance.
This was the attempt of a group shot. We were all convinced someone was going to fall in or it was going to unhook and float away.
After party picture...
And...Chris' new mower with the attachments...
