Christmas has arrived!

Without too much dragging and begging, we put up the lights on the house on Saturday. This is Jay's least favorite thing to do this time of year, but he did it anyway for L.J. It looks really good without being overly or underly (is that a word?) decorated. Thanks Jay!!!

The boys came over Saturday and played for a while and then that night we all went to Fred's Market to eat dinner. All three of them ate like crazy and behaved very well. Then we drove over to Lakeside Village to see the "snow" (really just bubbles from the rooftops) and the big Christmas tree. I have yet to figure out how to take pictures of Christmas lights so a lot of my photos from that night are kinda dark. Also, fake "snow" does not show up on camera so it just looks like the boys are hopping around waving their hands in the air for no reason. I am going to play with the pics and post them later this week.

Yesterday we had our family photo shoot. We went to Mary Holland Park and had a friend take them outside. It was much less stressful and I think we got some good shots. Of course I won't post them here since some of them are Christmas presents, but this one is too cute not to show.


After the shoot and the boys playing on the playground ended we ate lunch at Ruby Tuesdays and then I had to hostess at the Holiday Homes Tour that afternoon while Jay and L.J. took naps.
