Ok trying to keep up with that resolution. ( I was on vacation last week so that shouldn’t count, plus I couldn’t access the internet).  The last wedding of the year was a special one since it was my nephew who was getting married.   It is always a good time when I get to go home and spend some time with the family and especially for such a happy occassion.  I had to admit though they must of gotten married on one of the coldest days in December.  It was cold and I was grateful that I didn’t have to take many outdoor photos. Whew!  Well one of the incredible Hulk and his friends was about it.  I was laying in the snow to get some of those shots.  What a dedicated Aunt.

It was a Christmas theme wedding with pointsetta’s, gingerbread houses, and cookie cutters for guest.  There was a lot going on and I was kept busy. Besides being the photographer I had Great Aunt Duties.  There was a new generation who needed to learn the “Macarana” and to yell “Tin Roof Rusted” with the B-52′s As you can see from the photos Flamingo fit right in in fact he matched so well he was like an honorary groomsmen.  He’s made himself one of the family.  Like usual he got the party going.  He gave piggy back rides, danced the circle, and of course nestled up to the ladies.   He tried the Hula hoop contest but he hurt his neck.  Allen was funny because he wanted some pink too to blend with his groomsmen.  So pink socks is what he came up with.  I’m wishing blessings on Allen and his new wife Hellena.  That was one more down and quite a few to go.  The family is taking bets on a couple of prospects.  Will it be Alex and Laura  or Jeffrey and Samantha?  What do you think?  Take a guess or do you think someone will come out of the shadows and surprise us all?

Just recieved this image from Flamingo this morning.  He’s been out and about again and wanted me to know that he was ok and headed home.  Its been a while since we’ve seen Flamingo.  I thought he flew the coop.  Here he is this morning spending some quality tea time with his friend Dave Luebke of Couture books.  One of the our exciting new album lines we’ll be carrying in the 09 season.

He also sent me this image.  He’s been to Orlando visting the Holyland literally with Dave’s brother.  The Holyland Experience is a place where you go back in time 2000 years to the streets of Ancient Israel.  You get to experience and learn as you walk the streets and experience the culture of biblical times.  It is a great place where the bible comes to life.   You can visit the Wildnerness Tablernacle, see re-enactments of the life of Jesus Christ here on earth and eat a turkey leg.  The kids and I went here last Spring and Flamingo told me  he was so fascinated at what we told him that he needed to go and experience it himself.  It was a great reminder for him to remember what the Christmas season was all about.   Can’t wait to hear about all of his experiences.  Could Flamingo be mellowing out?
