Everything But Santa

I wasn't allowed to take a picture from my camera, but Quinn and Reese sat on Santa's lap at Bass Pro Shops in the Arundel Mills Mall recently. Quinn asked for a radio with a CD player, a play laptop, and a goldfish. She will be happy to know that Santa is going to be very good to her this year!

Like shooting fish in a barrel (har har!)

Me and my pal Rudolph!

I tell you what, Bass Pro really does a nice job with the Santa spread.  They had a table set up for kids to draw and color while waiting in line, the shooting range, a faux "Build-A-Bear" station, remote control trucks, a car race track, and as you see above, Rudolph was walking around!  I will definitely be making this a little tradition, as it was so much more fun thank just waiting in line at the mall.  It really was an event!  Oh, and the best part? Free 4x6 prints of your kids with the Big Man himself!  They gave me 4 free pictures!

Sissy and I waiting patiently to see Santa!

Happy Holidays!

My girls looked so stinking cute on Santa's lap.  I only hope that Reese will be that accommodating next year, when she's 18 months old, and much more aware of who's holding her!

Pretty Girls

Nothing much to say, just have to show off my beautiful babies to those who want to see them :-)



And a couple of black & whites...




I know I'm biased, but MAN I can't get over how photogenic my girls are!  Be-yoooo-ti-ful!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

About 3 weeks before Thanksgiving, for grins, I sent my brother Eric at text asking him if he and Jessica wanted to come out here for the holiday.  I really never thought he'd bite, but he surprised the crap out of me and said yes!  Well, we had a great time - we went to Paula's as we do every year, we had ourselves a small party on Friday, and it was just nice to catch up with Eric and Jes.  And it was Reese's 1st Thanksgiving!  Check out my stuffed turkey below...

She's even got the stuffed turkey sprawl, doesn't she?

Here are a few more pictures from what turned out to be an awesome weekend.  Thanks for the 30 pack of White Castle hamburgers and bottles of Leelanau Winter White wine, guys! 

Quinn and Auntie Jes!

Chillin' out Friday morning

Reese and her Uncle Swany


Happy all the way around!
