November Part 1

aaaahhhh, christmas card pics. Every mama cringes a little when you say that. deciding what to wear, who will take them, will you and the hubs be in it or not, etc..... This year I have been without my camera for 4 months. Which is a long time. When my best friend (the ups man) brought my repaired camera to me around 6pm Friday, I got all fired up to get this picture done. Brad was working that morning - he totally owes me for not putting him through the torture of getting 4 kiddos dressed and in good moods. At one put I yelled, "nobody gets to yell but me!" fine mama moment right there. After one session - not to painful - I realized had had nothing. Nada. Not ONE of all 4 of them. Soooooo, after an absurd amount of bribery, everyone got back dressed and we headed out for photo shoot #2. Photographers are amazing people. They are worth every penny......While I missed my Ceresa Caudill pics this year, I think I ended up ok...Lots of great outtakes!

This is my fav. Big kids showing the little kids the airplane.

Are you feeling the excitement here?

AND we're done and headed to get a happy meal!
