12 days!

Can you believe it? Only 12 more days???
I'm excited, anxious, and maybe a TAD bit stressed, (I'm having a hard time with a few presents) but overall, I am feeling the joy!!!

Last weekend we finally tried to get a family pic for our Christmas card, which I MAY actually get mailed out this year! (The last two year were never mailed! I have issues with mail!!)

It was like 15 degress outside, and the sun was going down SO SO fast. I took SIX pictures. Only SIX!!! I was too cold after that to keep running back and forth from the tripod, so I was hoping that one of the six would work for the card!

Tonight we start one of our favorite Christmas traditions!
The Twelve Days of Christmas.

Every night from tonight til' Christmas Eve we get an "elf package" left on our front door. It could be a book, a movie, treats, gifts, tickets to go somewhere,.....whatever the little elves desire to leave us! I have some great ideas for this year.

Tonight, the "elves" are going to be bringing something to start a new tradition. I'm so excited to see what the kids think. I'll have to tell ya about it tomorrow!

So for now, here is Christmas time, 2009!!!

Cute pic. Love the clothing color theme. Poor little Ava looks like she's freezing to death. Can't wait to hear about your tradition. I'm always looking for something new and fun.

Love the picture and the sassy poses.

The elf tradition sounds like fun.

Brrrrrrrrrr,

Blaise looks like he is frozen stiff, and poor little Avery looks like her teeth are chattering, and Caiden's expression is like "I'm too cool to be cold". I love it! They are all so darn adorable.

By the way I love your jacket, way cute.

I love your family photo Heather. Yes, we should definitely get together before the move. I've got to get back to blogging again. I've become a bit of a hermit.
