Christmas and Thanksgiving

So I got on the computer to start writing my Christmas letter....I feel unmotivated to do this. I don't know why....I usually really enjoy writing the letter. I am always excited for Christmas cards (and I am, but more just the picture card...finally found the perfect picture and ordered them yesterday!) but for some reason I am just not feeling the letter part right now. I guess that means don't sit and write it today because it would probably not sound too cheery! Weird.

Anyway, I am excited for Thanksgiving. I love getting together with family and shopping the day after with my mom. This year I told C he is keeping TC home with him.....sorry dad, no day off this year! However, how AM has acted the past 3 times I have taken her to a store....I am nervous for her joining us as well. She has thrown a screaming fit and been dragged out of the store the past 3 times....the first I don't remember, the second was Target and the third was the mall. So embarrassing. We'll see how Friday goes.



Saturday we have pictures for the kids. I am really excited about this. I've put it off for way too long. I was going to get some over the summer, in between TC turning 1 and AM turning 3. Now it will have to be more of a 1 1/2 and almost 3 1/2.....oops. Oh well, they will be cute. I am going to laugh though if TC makes his usual face when I get the camera out and say "Cheeeeese". Here it is.... The first one is a perfect recap. Sometimes he does keep his eyes open, but he smooshes his face and nose up. Don't worry I happen to get one with him not so scrunched up for the Christmas Card pic :) Let's hope he is somewhat normal for the picture people.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! I will try to motivate myself for letter writing.....
