Christmas Season is upon us....

I actually had the tree up before Thanksgiving, probably the first time I've ever done that, but I'm glad I did because it's been COLD ever since, and it was much nicer to drag it out of the storage building in 60 degree weather. I also got my wreathes up on the outside of the house in 60 degree weather, and considering the highs next week will be in the high 20's, I'm glad that's done!



I've finally geared up and thought about doing some Christmas shopping this past week. The biggest bulk of my Christmas shopping will be done online. Theu UPS guy will be really tired of dropping off packages but I hate shopping on a good day, much less the crazy masses of people who are out now. I will make a few treks out to do some shopping at an actual store/mall at somepoint between now and Christmas, but I will buy as much as I can online.



We had Mallory's "6" month pictures taken this week. They wanted to do those when she was sitting on her own, but she's really still not sitting on her own. She's doing the tripod thing where she leans over towards her feet when setting up, so we still had to take some pictures on her tummy again, but we did get some with her sitting up. She just doesn't like to bend, she prefers to try to stand. I'm sure she will figure this sitting thing out one day.



We have family pictures in Elkton on Sunday. I'm excited to have nice pictures of the 3 of us....right now one of the best ones we have of the 3 of us is in the combine, LOL! I would love to have them taken outside but with the high on Sunday looking to be about 32, I doubt that will happen!



I also finally got a picture of Mallory for our Christmas cards this week. I got my 50 free cards from Shutterfly and got those ordered, so they should be in soon. I gave up on trying to get one of Mallory and Tucker together, it just wasn't going to happen, at least not on my patience span.



And on another note, keep April 30th in your calendars. We will be having "Team Butterbean" for the March of Dimes fundraiser/walk in Owensboro that day and I'm recruiting everyone I can. We will be designing shirts and start the fundraising off after the first of the year. It should be fun and all for an excellent cause!



Here's a few pictures, not that I got Mallory's Nickname stocking up, Bean now resides between me and Tucker : )
