Time to start thinking about Christmas! This time of year is so much more magical when you have kids. The boys ask every day when it's going to be Christmas. We'll have to make one of those chains for them to count down starting December 1st. We also picked up some chocolate Advent calanders the last time we were at Trader Joes. We have made it a family tradition to go out looking at lights on Christmas eve. Last year we drove to a house nearby that had thier whole yard covered in decorations, including one of those huge inflatable snow globes with "snow" blowing around inside of it, and a Santa coming out of their chimney that you can actually control by pressing a button out front. The kids got such a kick out of it that they didn't want to leave. The promise of Santa always gets them to bed on time though.
The night before last we took pictures of the boys, which we are going to use in our Christmas card this year. Uncle Jon shared with us the idea of taking a picture of them while they were sleeping, so we attempted it and are very pleased with the results. Staging this took quite a bit of planning on our part. We dressed them in thier matching Christmas jammies, put them to bed as we usually do, then waited for them to fall asleep. I then draped thier sheet over our queen sized bed, brought thier pillows in, then we carried them into our room. Brian took the picture standing on the bed and covered the flash with a white piece of paper. We thought we were pretty artsy, LOL. We hope you enjoy!
