Family Pics

We had our family pics made at JC Penney's again this year (they had a great Groupon- score!).  I'm not such a posed-picture-in-an-indoor-setting kind of gal, but for the price, you can't beat it.  Esp for this non-working lady.  Thankfully, they seem to always get some decent shots!  (Oh, there were plenty of not-decent shots... trust me).  This was the week when Taylor, Parker and I were all recovering from strep (the first round) and colds.  Bleh.

Here's how our (somewhat decent) pics turned out this year:

It looks like Parker is screaming, but he's actually laughing.  Gotta love the underwear peeking out!

This is probably my favorite picture. :)

I also HATE props, but she made us do this one.  {insert eye-rolling emoji here}

Christmas Card Time!

I know I say this on the blog every year, but getting Christmas cards is one of my favorite things about Christmas.  There's something about getting letters in the mail that is so special to me.  Plus, I love seeing pictures and reading about friends from near and far.

Here are the two Christmas cards I made this year:

I wonder if we can start a trend of mailing out Valentine's Day cards?  Or 4th f July cards?  Columbus Day?  No?

December Fun

December has been filled with lots of fun events, but man, I tell you... this month is flying by!  It's crazy that Christmas is only a few days away.  I honestly haven't had much of a chance to sit down and enjoy the season yet.  We're too go-go-go.  I'm hoping to get a chance to take it all in before the decorations all come down.

Besides Taylor's birthday, painting all the day long, and all the holiday fun, here's what we've been up to lately:

Killing time at the doctor with and for Sydney.  I was next... strep throat AGAIN.  That's twice in 6 weeks, folks.  SO. OVER. IT.
