It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!

Can you believe it's already the holiday season???  Seriously time flies by way too too fast!  Being a planner by nature, I've already finished half of my Christmas shopping list and pretty much know what I'm getting everyone else.  Today my SIL (sister-in-law) and I decided to take the kids to get pictures taken together at JCPenney for the Grandparents.  SIL has 2 kids, a boy J and a girl M.  The three of them are 10 months apart, so basically 1, 2, and 3 years old.  

Things that I learned about going to get professional pictures.

**Take lots of things to entertain all parties involved....toys, suckers, bubbles for the kids and a small flask for the mommies ;)  

**You have to sit through all of the *enhanced* pictures that the clerk tries to sell you...just smile and say I want the Free 8x10 and the cheapo $3.99 a sheet pictures.

**Kids when they are 1 and don't walk yet, sit nice.  Kids that are 3, listen to directions well and sit nice.  Kids that are 2, have a mind of their own and don't want to sit EVER;o)  Guess which one is mine?????

**The best shot is ALWAYS the first one.  45 minutes later, we decided that was it and the first one is the best one.

**Clear the rest of the day because baby and Mommy need a nap...BAD!!!!

Happy Holidays early.....16 days to Thanksgiving.....45 days to Christmas.....52 days to 2009....55 days until LL is 2!
