 20 Children Died and 6 adults in Newtown, Conn., School Massacre

My heart is broken, the number of children killed by a man, he had no permission to kill this innocents..I'm crying now. I'm so sad. KIDS! ! They were just kids. Being kids. I just want to scream! My god, what is going on?! ...I cant stop thinking about this tragic...I have a kindergarder  and a 7 year old child ,  I can imagine what these parents are going through. Losing a child is horrible, but losing them to this type of senseless violence is unimaginable. There is no greater loss than that of a child. 
Imagine some Christmas presents under trees that won't be opened, little smiles that will not be seen again, voices never again heard..
I just wondering what this monster was thinking, why kill these angels,  I wish he would have started with himself.
 I am hugging my children a bit tighter today.... Nothing can bring consolation to those parents ...NOTHING but I will pray for them....

Christmas and greenery box centerpiece...

  
Today has been mostly raining all day and It is very cold and very wet which is fine as it is December after all. It just came at us too quickly. The house feels so quiet when my children are at school...There is not much to do, so I took the time to decorate our dinner table and I took like ONE HUNDRED pictures...I like how it came out, I got inspired by http://anita-faraboverubies.blogspot.com .I always wanted to do something like this...
Very simple and I didn't buy anything, I just clipped some greenery from outside...

Christmas 2012

"From home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other"
 Emily Matthews
When I think of Christmas colors the one that comes to mind is red...Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I love being with my family and seeing everyone happy and laughing, buying gifts, putting up Christmas decorations, putting up the tree, driving around looking at all the beautiful Christmas lights. I love the food the warmth the love and the giving, watching everyone open their gifts and looking so surprised and everyone hugging and making New Year wishes that we will probably never keep, watching Christmas movies on TV , My children's face as they sit on Santa's lap,the cold weather, the snow on the ground, carolers singing,all that is what I love about Christmas..If I could put it into one word I would pick MEMORIES....

It wouldn't be Christmas with out red it in my home.You can never have too much red  at Christmas!

Well the tree is up,  the decorating is finished. Now I can sit back and relax.

Every morning I pass by this house...So today I brought my camera and snapped some pictures, .....Every year they are the most decorated house on the block. They have scary sound effects rolling and lots of lights all over the place and creepy decorations..........my children are crazy about this house ............. There's something about Halloween and children..

Scary window...

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

Strawberries anyone?

I went to the supermarket and bought some strawberry...cut them and frozed them for delicious smoothie... But couldn't help myself and had to start taking pictures...

After pictures were taking and load it,  I realized pictures would 've looked better if my aperture setting were lower(higher in my own language )

aperture setting was 1.8 and some  part of my pictures were out of focus  which I didnt like....Next time I will try different settings to see what works better...

Thank you....
