From The Fairy Tale of My Life, published in 1855

My life is a lovely story, happy and full of adventures.  If, at the time when I was still a boy and going out into the world poor and without friends, a good fairy had come along and said,  ”Choose your course in life and the goal of your efforts…I will guide and protect you until you attain it, ” my destiny could not, even at that time, have been guided more happily, more prudently, or more fortunately.  The history of my life will reveal to the world what it tells me – there is a loving God who directs all things for the best.

–  Hans Christian Anderson

We have this tree in our front yard.  It must be enchanted because ….

sometimes, yes, just sometimes, I get a glimpse of a fairy living in this tree.  Do you want to peek?

Please repeat after me…”I do believe in Fairies!”

Want to get a little closer?  Don’t scare her away!

I do believe in Fairies!

May you have a Happily Ever After kind of a Weekend!

* Theses are some of the images from our fun family adventure shoot we did on the last day of 2009.  It was so much fun.  I have a couple of projects in mind for the images but I just couldn’t help but share some of them here today.  I know, I should probably grow up and stop playing dress up, but what’s the fun in that?  I do have to thank my kids for always being willing to dress up and pose according to my crazy ideas.  But most of all I have to thank my wonderful husband that goes along and helps put kids in trees. It was a fun day.   I am not quite sure Fairytale Friday can be every Friday but it was a catchy phrase for a post title.  But you never know, maybe I will just have to try.  Could be fun.

May you all have a  Happily Ever After day today.
