Ho Ho Ho!







Just some pix to start off the Holiday Season and celebrate the 1st day of December (or the "first day of Christmas", as Taylor says). We got that picture of Sophie with Santa taken in Grand Rapids. We had a little bit of time one day before the realitor could meet with us so we went to the mall to walk around. Sophie looked so cute and there wasn't a line so we had it taken! We put up our Christmas tree yesterday before Craig left (sadly, it fell down last night, AFTER he left). Also I was so happy to find that we hadn't put ALL our Christmas decorations in the POD, just some of the ornaments, so we decorated for Christmas yesterday. I'm preparing to start lots of baking (we'll see how far I get with Craig gone). I'm also preparing our Christmas cards and got 50 free photo cards last night from Seehere.com thanks to Hailey telling me about the freebies4mom-1109 coupon code! The only sad thing about that is we don't have our family pictures back from the beach so I just used a cute one of the kids. It is a pet peeve of mine though (when people use pictures of just the kids on their Christmas cards). Well, with this post I say "LET THE HOLIDAY BEGIN!!".(I have another great picture of Katie screaming bloody murder when she was 9 months on Santa's lap, but I can't find where I scanned it. Boo! I'll see if I can't scrounge it up. It's worth the wait! The original is probably in the POD.)

I love the pic of Sophie with santa too! And Katie makes the greatest angel singing "glOOOry in the highest"!! Too cute.

I love Sophie's bow in her hair and on her shoes...I laughed at the early pics of Taylor with a halo...probably the last time he gets one! Wait, I take that back. When he asked for a hug the other day, he was so sweet. He was sweet sitting in time-out too. I guess he can have a few more halos! I miss them all and so does poor Eddy!

1.) Sophie is adorable, even when she's crying. :-)
2.) Your hair cut is super cute!
3.) Those cookies look so yummy! My mom makes those every year for our Christmas and they just remind me of the Holidays!
4.) I LOVEEEEE the picture of your family at the beach!! How adorable! Looks like it came straight out of a magazine.
