Christmas Photos

Filed Under Professional Pictures | 3 Comments

Today I took Bailey to Penneys to have her pics done to send out in our Christmas cards. For the first time, I wasn’t thrilled with our experience there. Our favorite lady, Miss Rita, wasn’t there today. I had to make the appointment so stinkin far in advance because of the holidays. Normally I just call on Monday and do the “Hey, what days are you working this week?” thing with her, and we set up an appointment.

It was SO busy today. We were the second appointment of the day, and they were rushed. Our photographer was nice, but she didn’t really do a great job getting Bailey to smile. If you know Bailey, you know that just about anything makes her smile. So I don’t really know what the problem was there. Also she only took like four shots in front of the Christmas tree. The rest have a black background.

We ended up ordering just a package with one pose. They are on a black background. She looks adorable. But, it wasn’t what I was expecting. We aren’t going to be putting up our Christmas tree this year, because it goes in our living room and she is officially crawling now. Today she took off across the floor and hasn’t stopped. (Kelli, if you are reading this, I am lying. She’s not crawling at all. She doesn’t need to move up to the next room in the nursery). I am afraid that she would pull our entire tree over on herself. Or all of the GLASS and mirrored and glittered ornaments that I so thoughtlessly redecorated with two years ago.

I know, we should teach her to leave things alone. However, I also like to leave my child alone in a room and be able to go pee by myself. Or check my email. Everything that can really hurt her is out of the way. The other stuff, she will learn not to get into. So that was a really long way of saying, no tree this year. My mom offered to let us come over this weekend and take family pictures in front of their tree for our Christmas cards. I think that’s what we are going to do. I wish I had diamond rings big enough to twinkle in the pictures.

Jonathon told me I could probably upgrade my rings for our five year anniversary. Two years away. Are you sentimental about your rings, or would you trade them? I think I am going to trade in my engagement ring and keep the wedding band. Wow, off topic.

If you made it this far, you deserve a cookie for reading my random train of thoughts today.
