The Christmas Frenzy Has Hit Me

So I'm beginning to feel overwhelmed with everything going on right now. There was a cookie recipe that was due last night and I still haven't decided what I'm going to bring to the Cookie Exchange on Thursday. Then there's a Christmas event in 14 days that I'm planning and I'm not an event planner but somehow I'm going to pull it off. There's other stuff but I'll keep it at that.

My boys are good but sometimes its hard to keep up them then and get things accomplished. I'm wondering if it would be ok to keep them in here for a few hours a day so I can get some things done.

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. The morning was spent watching the Macy's Parade. Then, Tim and Riley sat at the table and drew pictures, while Ethan was running around getting into "trouble." Later on that day, we went over to Tim's grandparent's house. Here are some pictures from the day.

All of Tim's family

Ethan was fascinated with his PapPaw's beard.

Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we had some family pictures taken at the VA Park by a friend, Katie Dorak. We had just had the boys pictures taken but I wanted some pictures of the four of us for our Christmas card. I was really pleased with how these turned out and we all had a lot of fun.

Shutterfly

I love Shutterfly- especially this time of the year. I am constantly on Shutterfly making a new photo book or gift. This year I ordered our photo cards from shutterfly. This was one of the design I had fun playing around with. You'll have a wait a few weeks to see what design I ended up picking!!

Fall Pictures of the Boys

In October, my friend and professional photographer, Katie, took some pictures of Riley and Ethan. I think they turned out great and she did a great job at capturing their personalities. Here are a few of my favorites.

Snow?!?

Today we got some unexpected snow. The forecasters said it was coming but I sure didn't believe it. I mean look at this tree. It still has red and green leaves on it and its the beginning of November!!!

The boys were excited it was snowing and they were ready to play in it.

 There was even enough snow to sled in it a little.

So with it snowing this early, does this mean we are going to have a COLD winter??
