HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

As I'm sure you've guessed, I LOVE this holiday!  Not only because I get to shower the 3 men in my life with love, gifts, and amazing food, but also because I just love the idea of a holiday dedicated to saying "I LOVE YOU!"  How sweet is that?!

So, whether you have a significant other, a sweet little one, or just amazing people in your life- get out there and tell them how you feel!

Today I have a lot to blog about- because, well, I love a lot of people! :)

First up, a little spot dedicated to my number one love: my husband.

Here is a little trip down lover's lane for us:

(from top left: summer 2007-first vacation together, Jeff's bday 2007- night he proposed, Sept 2007- first dland trip together, nov 2007- married!, nov 2007- first honeymoon at belagio in vegas, jan 2008 second honeymoon in cozumel, feb 2008- first valentines, feb 2009 second valentines together, feb 2011 fourth valentines together)

I seriously couldn't imagine a better life than the one that I have with this amazing man!

I MUST tell you what he did for me for Valentine's!  (We always celebrate on a different day, since I'm not a fan of huge crowds and horrible service, plus I like to spend the actual holiday as a family)  So, El Jeffe was very stealth this year- which is really hard because I'm a huge snoop!  First, he slyly stole my great grandmother's 50th anniversary ring out of my jewelry box (I got it from my aunt for my birthday, but it was too small...yes, I have sausage fingers), he then took it to a jeweler to have it resized!  Next, he noticed 2 more things I had my eye on and GOT THEM totally behind my back- doubly impressive, since I am a hawk with our finances!  Then, he lined up some babysitting and planned a cute night out at my favorite restaurant last night.  WHAT A STUD!  Seriously, best Valentine's ever!  I've never been so surprised and felt so special!  I love my man!

Now, time to link up with Melissa at The Life of a Not So Ordinary Wife, for a fun game to see how well El Jeffe knows me! :)

My Little 4-Year-Old!

Let the Celebrations CONTINUE!

Last week, someone shared a thought that was so inspirational.  They talked about how we shouldn't stop at 12 days of Christmas, and how important the 13th day of Christmas was...

Well, for me, that really hit home.

Because, on the 13th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

A child.

He is kind

He is smart

He is important... He is SO important.

So, on this 13th day of  Christmas, we do not stand in long return lines, we do not tear down all of the Christmas decorations, nor do we agonize over the many unwanted pounds gained... No, we are far too busy celebrating to do any of that!  Our 13th day is filled with waffles, playing, candles, and wishes!  Oh, and some hulk-tastic fun!  (yeah, that's right, we're hulk fans around here!)

Here is my little Hulk Smash's (he chose his blog name) 4 year photoshoot:

Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta HUG....

As you FLY off, we hope you have a WONDERFUL day!!

Thank you for stopping by!!  

xoxo,

Loo Who

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas!

HO! HO! HO!

I hope that Christmas Eve finds you with 

*The stockings all hung with care

*Presents all wrapped up tight

*Food all cooked and ready to devour

But, if you're anything like me---

'Twas the day before Christmas, and all through our home..

There was scurrying and hurrying and all sorts of things needing done.

Presents awaiting their final assemble, 

And pictures of side dishes we hope they soon resemble.

But amidst all the chaos and clatter,

We look around and see that none of this matters.

Our bows may not be tied just right,

The wrapping may look like it's gone through a fight.

Perhaps the food is not so picture-perfect,

But, come morning, it will all be worth-it.

For, the best part of Christmas can't be wrapped, bow-ed, baked or bought,

The BEST part of Christmas comes from our 2 tiny tots!

Ok, ok, I'm not the greatest poet- ON WITH THE SHOW!

Today, is MONDAY MUST, with a Christmas twist..

First, I must recap last weeks Monday Must- Roberts was AMAZING!!  AND, Estrella is a VERY close second to Roberts- the flavors of the food are on-point!  They definitely do not disappoint- in fact, when I got home, I told Jeffe that Roberts may be losing it's first place ranking in my fav restaurants category.  Jury is still out- apparently there are a few more dishes I need to try before I cast my final vote.  None the less, Estrella is TOTALLY MUST-WORTHY!

Now, on to Christmas!!

This Monday MUST is dedicated to giving.  I don't care what religion or non-religion you are, there is nothing wrong with stopping and appreciating those around you!  This Monday MUST is a Must-Do, today and tomorrow, I challenge you to give as much love and joy as you can muster to those around you.  Be they friend or foe, family or stranger- we could all use a little more love in our life!

I love Christmas, I really do.  It's a time to turn our hearts to faith, love and family!  I love my little family more than anything!  I love to see those smiling faces! 

Which, brings me to the giving segment of this post.... We, here at Looky Loo, LOVE TO GIVE PRESENTS!!  And we were racking our brains as to what we could give YOU this holiday!  And, what better gift than the gift of  SMILES!

We have shared such touching moments with our fans this year- and we are so touched that you allowed us to be apart of some of your biggest moments!

To give back, we are giving away TWO photoshoots for Christmas.

So, how, might you ask, does one receive such a present?

Well, one family has already been chosen, by us for their immense kindness and giving throughout the year.  The SECOND, will be chose by YOU!

So, here's the scoop.  You email me with your pick of a family most deserving of a free photoshoot.  Tell me what has impressed you, how they have changed the lives of those around them through selfless act of kindness.  And I will give them a FREE PHOTOSHOOT!

Details:

*You can't nominate yourself

*You have two days to email me (today and tomorrow)

*I will pick my winner Christmas night

*It must be a family in SLO County

Ok, those are the details, I'm sure you've already thought of someone who would be perfect, so what are you waiting for??!!  Stop reading this and get to your email asap!  

Well, I am a photographer after all, so I leave you with these smiling faces to send you on your Merry Way....

xoxo,

LooWho
