It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We spent the weekend frantically running around preparing for Christmas. We spent Saturday morning Christmas shopping, brought the boys home for naps, and Scott went out for a tree. He was back in record time, but Ryan woke up early, and we had yet to get the tree in the house. Oh well, we brought it in and put it up and Ryan pretty much stayed out of the way. I'm pretty sure he was shocked that we had a GIANT tree in our house. We decorated the tree after the boys went to bed in preparation for the big photo shoot on Sunday. The plan was, naps and then while the boys were still happy, get the money shot. Scott and I set up the lights we had borrowed from my old boss, did test shots, and frantically wrapped all of the presents we had purchased on Saturday. The boys woke up as scheduled, we got them dressed in their new holiday finest, and we set them loose on the tree.

Getting two toddlers to sit, or stand in the same spot for a nano second is pretty near impossible, let alone while Mommy and Daddy try and take 1000 pictures. Here's a glimpse at the fun we had!



Any bets if we actually got a usable shot? You'll just have to wait to get our Holiday card in the mail to find out.

And by the way, if your present looks like it's been opened and re-wrapped, well...it has.
