Whoopsie, highlights of last year's holiday season :) 2011

So, I've neglected this blogsky a little. And by a little, I mean I've written two posts in the last year. In an attempt to recall some of my last year, I'm going to do some catch up posts. Maybe one for each or every other month. If for nothing else, for my own documentation. Just ignore if you wish :)

Here are some sillies that I thought were cute. Sillies at the table and sillies with Daddy. I love the ones of their little messy floor sleepover area in their room. Daddy and babies had a little snuggle fest on the floor and mommy laid like a starfish all night in bed, because she could. The early morning slap happy sillies were so cute.





















Below is Tenley not giving two f^@#s about picking out a Christmas tree. It was cold and she was over it before we even left the car.








Making a ginger bread house with Daddy! :)












Disney Lane!

Bee Doop Bee Doop, Santa Baby...

Anyone else secretly writing to Santa now that Thanksgiving is over?
Wanna know what?
I think Santa has a Pinterest account.
Lucky for him, I've made it easy and have been pinning my favorite things.

                                                            

I really want to slim down and wear more dresses. I've realized that with a pair of leggings, it's SO much more comfortable than jeans. And cuter. And when I feel cute, I'm more productive. So there you go. A two hundred dollar dress from Anthropologie totally justified.

Also from Anthropologie, but more affordable! I really need an apron, I always soak my front doing dishes and wipe my hands on the hips of my pants when I cook :)

Who doesn't need riding boots?

Picture frames from Organic Bloom. I LOVE THESE FRAMES! They are only vended through portrait photogs and I'm considering becoming a vendor and adding them to my 2012 photog biz rollout!

I want to start experimenting with off camera flash. I need one of these bad boys. They need to be five dollars. Not two hundred. Then I could have one.

I need a camera purse that can **safely** carry my personal things and my camera gear. I asked Santa for a JoTote camera purse last year as it was the least expensive of the cam gear purses. Well, there is a reason it is inexpensive. I should have read a few reviews before submitting my request to St. Nick. It falls apart and does not protect your gear.

Time to invest in the Coach bag of Camera handbags...Kelly Moore :)

Now, do I want the 2 Sues or the Mimi?

Where are you, Christmas?

Poor Tenley. She misses Christmas. Today when I was fixing her hair to go play at the mall she asked, "Go to small? ((small is the mall in Tenish)) Go to small an see SanTA?!"
Then on the way to the mall I was talking to my Mom and Tenley starts singing at the top of her lungs "Holly Jolly, Christmas" and "O Holy Night" only she says "Holly Jolly Niiiiiiight" instead. Some other misheard lyrics by Tenley include "Ho, Ho, It's Mr No, hung where you can't see".

Santa has a bed time

Apparently, Santa does not stay up as long as the mall stays open. Who knew? Got Tenley and Scarlett all dressed up in their Santa outfits from Grandma Kirsten, but at eight o'clock when we finally got to the Tucson Mall...Santa was no where to be found. Sad day.

However, the night was not a total loss. I managed to get three stocking stuffers, three gifts, matching Christmas Eve PJ's for the girls, and a Christmas Mickey and Minnie cookie plate all for under thirty eight bucks including tax. Can't beat that! Thank you, recession sales! Plus I got a really cute picture of Jon and Tenley that I will post later.
