Monticello Chocolate Fantasy - Friday, February 8, 2008

The 4th Annual Chocolate Fantasy will be held on Friday, February 8, 2008. Participating merchants will be serving a chocolate delight to each person that has purchased a ticket to the event. With the event being held only 5 days before Valentine's Day, each shop will be filled with great ideas for all of the special people in your lives. Whether you are buying for your sweetie, mom, dad, teacher, or best friend you will be able to find something for everyone on your list . Tickets are $10 and must be purchased in advance. Ticket sales are limited to 300.

The ticket you purchase will have each participating merchant's name, address and a map printed on the back. When you visit each store they will check off their name. After you have visited each participating merchant you will write your name, address and phone number on the back of the ticket and leave it at the last store visited. Your ticket will then be placed in a drawing for a basket of gifts filled by the participating merchants.

You have many reasons to buy that ticket. Among those reasons: You definitely have cabin fever and are looking for a reason to get out of the house; you need to buy Valentine's presents and each shop is filled with great gift ideas; you have a chance to win a basket full of great gifts; and you are going to have a great time!

A little girl

Little Miss A was welcomed to her family in December. She is one of my excuses to use pink and have a little fun. Here are a few of her and her family.

New Family Member

Little Miss T welcomed her new brother to the studio for some great family photos. Congrats and welcome little A!

More holiday family photos

Another family outing. They wanted a few funny ones along with the serious ones.

Senior Style

Get out on the town for your senior portraits. J had fun with his. Took the truck out, hit the tracks and then back to the studio for some more formal shots.

Holiday Family Fun

What a great time to get all the kids in one place over the holidays. A family photo was the ticket to capture this memory.
