...but now comes the completion of Christmas shopping, all the wrapping, baking, cooking...
I Heart Faces: Self- Portrait
This one is almost a year old! That means that this 365 is almost completed. Wow! Check out some more self portraits at I Heart Faces:
338/365: Christmas Party
Santa flew in on the plane behind Isaac.
We arrived just in time to dash all the way across the taxiway to get to the hangar before the plane taxied in. I parked on the wrong side of the taxiway... if you've never been on foot near Air Force hangars/ taxiways, you can't quite picture how wide of an expanse that is. Needless to say, it is large. Picture 500+ people standing in front of a huge hangar watching for Santa's plane and me carrying a baby, being drug along by a preschooler having arrived on the wrong side then hiking all the way across where Santa is expected to appear. Oh well... at least my friends knew we had arrived :)
We waited in line to be given gifts. The amount of toys they had was amazing! Each child got 2 presents. Isaac received a firetruck and a Playdough set and Grayden got a bath boat and pretend cell phone. After waiting for an hour, Grayden was done, so we stopped and had Isaac's face painted (he chose a candy cane) and then hiked back to the car.
Thankfully, Isaac didn't notice the bouncy castle and wasn't devastated that I suggested we skip talking with Santa :)
337/365: I Love Bath-time
Especially because B gives the boys their bath :)
Do you see that 8th little tooth coming through on the bottom? Yah... that one kept us up from 10:30 until 12:30 last night. Fun!
Tomorrow is the OSU vs. U of O civil war game. We have a little family "rivalry" going on. B insisted on this picture. Sorry Beavers fans!
Don't mind my messy masking.... I edit on my laptop with the track pad!
336/365: Garland
This is fake, and the route we usually take for Christmas garland.
This is real and smells so good! We decided that instead of purchasing many artificial garlands for the railing (which we might not be able to use in the next house we live in) that we'd try fresh garland this year. I purchased it on Costco.com and it came from the forests of Oregon. However, it shipped from Oregon to Kentucky and then back to us in California via 2nd day air (good thing I didn't have to pay for shipping!) I think it might have been more expedient just to stick it on a truck for the 10 hour drive.
335/365: Dramatic Light Love
I love, love, love a good dramatic light opportunity.
Grayden loves to pull up on the oven.
It works out well for both of us.
334/365: Cheesy Cornball
B tells Isaac sometimes that he's "cheesy" or "a cornball." Every once in awhile Isaac will answer "yes, I'm a cheesy cornball!"
He actually happily looked straight at the camera and smiled today! I told him "don't you dare smile!" and of course, he did :)
Round Two of Christmas pics went much, much better!
