Maggie's official First Christmas Picture
I know this is blurry-I tried to get creative with my new camera and it didn't turn out like I'd hoped-but I think it's cute anyway. Maggie loves being up in the fort with Will, especially with all the lights. I tried to correct the setting and take the picture again, but Maggie was trying to pull the lights down by that time.
This one shows the lights better. Will wants them on day and night. I promise this is not a replica of how we decorated the front yard! I'll post pics of that another time.
Their first attempt at a Santa picture. I think it's funny because Will had been bribed with the candy store if he smiled no matter what Maggie was doing (normally he would get all concerned or upset). He did great considering she was staring at me and crying for every picture! She's not big on strangers these days.
So, normally I don't do the background scene/prop pictures, but I'm a sucker for all things holiday!
Will was just supposed to be sitting by these presents for a picture, but he kept opening them looking for toys.
So I guess it's pretty obvious by my pictures that we've jumped headfirst into Christmas this year. Will is really getting into the idea of Santa, although he is starting to confuse him with God. Last night we were saying prayers and after he thanked God for family and friends, he started on his toys. "Thank you for my trucks and cars, I need a bus, thank you for my kitchen and food, I need a shopping cart..." and on and on. Pretty funny.
Obviously this past week was spent mostly decorating and getting things ready for Christmas, but on Friday Eric and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. My, how times change! Five November 30s ago, it was all about us. This past November 30, I woke up with a sick baby, ran to the grocery store, took Maggie to the pediatrician while Eric took the dogs to the groomers, etc. We even had to push our dinner back a day, but it worked out fine! I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful husband and father, and I wouldn't change a thing about our crazy life together!

Christmas pics are great! Are they Kiddie Kandids? The backgrounds look familiar. I'm going to take Maddie up there on Friday. Hope they turn out as good as yours did!
Your kids looks so adorable in their Christmas attire! We are trying to warm up to Santa at the mall occasionally so that we might make it through a photo shoot! I would love to get together after the holidays...our kids would have a great time together!
