8 Photos of Happiness

Thank you to my good friend Vidya Sury for tagging me in the 8 Photos of Happiness Blog Hop!

My lilies in full bloom...

Celebrating birthdays with my family...


Walking around the University of Notre Dame, such a great day....



My Mom and Dad all dressed up for a wedding in the spring of 1988, just as I would picture them in heaven,  happy and pain free....


Family selfie this summer at Twin Mills Campground in Howe, Indiana... 

Family selfie being silly at Silver Beach in St. Joseph, Michigan.




Enjoying fireworks with my husband this year on the 4th of July

A happy Halloween memory of my kids dressed up and ready to trick or treat in two of the best costumes I ever made them! YAY me!




Bonus photo...just because!  Me and my mom at a Notre Dame football game having the time of our lives.  GO IRISH!!!!  Notice me, young and skinny!!  Those eyeglasses though...way to BIG for my head. HA HA HA!

So now, let's spread the happiness and keep it going...

Here are the guidelines for the eight photos of happiness bloghop:
