Christmas Cards and PJ's

The other day I was thinking about this years Christmas Card. We haven't had a family picture taken for a couple of years. So, I thought we would just do our own little thing. And it kind of just fell into place. I knew I wanted us to be standing out in the snow. And I knew I wanted us each to hold a letter in the word NOEL. And since it's getting close to the holidays, and by the time you order and mail cards, we needed to get it done soon. I looked in our closets, and found some new shirts I had just bought the girls. Chris and I had shirts in our closets that would work, and we went for it. I probably should have made new letters. Ones that would stand out a bit more. But you get the idea anyway. At first Elle wasn't having anything to do with it. She was crying and being bad. It was only after we went in the house, that she said to me, "Mom, I'm happy now". Ug!! So we headed back out into the yard again. This time a quick couple of pictures, and we were in business. I'm not sure what changed her mind, but I'm glad something did, because I was really hoping this would work out. I put my camera on the tripod, and hoped for the best. I don't think they turned out half bad.

Here are a few pictures, we took. I'm pretty sure we're going to use the last one for our Christmas Cards.

And tonight as my girls were getting ready for bed. Bree came out of her room with some PJ's on, that were so short. I was laughing. My little girl has really grown taller this year. I had bought the girls some fun Christmas PJ's, and decided to pull them out. The girls were ecstatic! I even have one more cute pair hidden away for them for Christmas Eve :) Gosh, I LOVE this time of year.

Well, the holidays are upon us. And I love that my little girls are in that fun fun stage, where we are so excited for Santa to come to our house! I can't wait to have more fun experiences as Christmas gets closer. Plans for the Tree Festival, Ogden Lights, Sledding at Soldier Hollow, and more are just a few things we're looking forward to. And in a couple of weeks, my baby will be turning 4, and she has requested a party at Chuck E Cheese with all of her cousins. So many fabulous things happening soon. So stay tuned!!
