Christmas Jammies

The Sunday before Thanksgiving, Scott and Janine gave Cohen a pair of jammies as an early present to kick off the holiday seaon. I put him in them a few nights later and tried to get a picture to send to them. The kid, who is normally quite the cheeser, would not smile for me. I let him go on his way and he started playing with a laundry basket, but still no smile. Then he topples out of it and acts like he is going to cry so I start laughing and he just busts a gut, so I ended up with some great pics! Moral of the story, if you want your kids to smile for pictures have them fall down and make them think it's funny.

No Smiles

The Fall

A Bundle of Fun

Thanks again for the jammies Scott and Janine!

Festival of Trees

A couple weeks ago Cohen and I went to the Festival of Trees with my mom, Mary, Emma, and Annika (aka Emmaka by Cohen). The parking lot was an absolute nightmare and it took us at least 20 minutes to find a parking spot. We saw two older women get in quite the fight right in front of their kids. I made some comment to the effect of a parking spot just wasn't worth that. Then about 10 minutes later I found myself raising my voice at someone stealing a spot we had followed a lady to, good thing Mary was there to calm me down and I wasn't driving. Seriously, isn't this supposed to be the happiest time of the year??
All in all we did have a good time once we made it inside. The girls loved all the pink trees and the ones with princesses. Cohen and I took a picture in front of "The P"U"RFECT Season" tree.





I hope you're all enjoying the season and not fighting over parking spots. Merry Christmas!
