Getting ready for Christmas... finally!



So I am FINALLY done proofing and editing all of my pictures that had to be done before Christmas! You have no idea how excited I am to be done! Well, not technically done, I still have some orders to put in and finish up, but done with the long nights sitting in front of my computer. I just barely finished and thought I'd celebrate by posting a little something on my blog. Now that I am done with picts, I can focus on the shopping, baking and good eating that comes along with these wonderful holidays. I think I'm going to start tomorrow by baking some soft ginger cookies- my fave! Or, maybe some sugar cookies? Well, guess I'll just have to bake both! And I want to knit Avery a little hat. I made her a cute one last year for Christmas and figure I should make a tradition out of it, not that she needs anymore hats, but I like to make them!


We had to re-take our family pictures this weekend because Avery was such a poop last time and would not cooperate. My friend Melanie took them and I love them. Here is one of my absolute faves! Wow, I just saw the clock and I think I'd rather celebrate by going to sleep! Peace out.

Lori! Love this pic! As for the binki! I know I feel horrible, but how can I take something away that makes him so happy! I am letting him have it until two and then I am going to cut the binki part off and tell him it's broken. I have just been worried it was going to affect his speech, but he is talking well and then reshaping his mouth, but brad said 2 years old is what they say. I am glad we are in this boat together. I used to try to give it to him at nap times, but he LOVES it and he's so happy with it in. If I take it away he pulls some major tantrums and I am just not going to pick the binki as my battle at this time!!!! Let me know if you have any ideas! Love your blog! I love your cam. Do you use any photo elements for your pics or what program are you using, OR is it just your amazing camera?! Let me know. Love ya and miss you guys!

I just received the Taylor's Christmas card and it is amazing! You do such a great job! Have a wonderful Christmas! Oh, and I'd love your soft ginger snap cookie recipe! Sounds Yummy!
