Go Elf Yourself.

Ok, I admit it I love a good cheesy holiday tradition.

This one is too good to pass up every year!

Every Christmas I go Elf Myself. And every year I laugh uncontrollably at the little elf sporting my mug dancing around to ridiculous music. It is little things in life!

This year we added a little face to our tradition.

I present our family that went and Elfed ourself. Typing this brings the LOL's! (Perhaps the glasses of wine consumed tonight.)

Merry Christmas from California!

My Kid Rocked Santa's Lap.

We went to see Santa AGAIN today.

After our first attempt at 'sitting on Santa's lap in hopes of not having a meltdown' was foiled due to a massive line and wait time on Sunday, we wised up and went on a weekday morning.

And guess what...NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN LINE! So rad!

I couldn't believe it. This never happens. There are always a bazillion people waiting in line with their cranky, over tired, bored out of their minds kids and today, well today there was not a single one of them.

We walked right up to the front of the line like we owned the joint, pulled Baby D out of the stroller, plopped him on St. Nick's lap and bam...6 photos, no tears!

No smiles, either, but again no tears! I take what I can get these days.

We now own 6 photos of our baby's first Santa Lap experience. He rocked it!

But....we shall see what next year brings when he wises up and knows that all mom really wants are some good Santa pictures for a photo album, and he will do whatever it takes to maybe ruin that in hopes of getting bribed into something he wants!

Getting squirmy.....

and he's done.....

Wordless Wednesday. Best Friends.

9 Month Photos

We were lucky enough to have Tyler, from The Mill Photography Studio in Austin, take Baby D's 9 month pictures at Laguna Gloria. He took our wedding pictures 2 years ago so it was only fitting to have him take D's 9 month photos.

I still can't believe 9 months has come and gone! Planning for a birthday party in January, which is right around the corner, has got me all kinds of emotional. I am so excited for the 1 year old phase, but so sad that I won't have a little baby anymore!

Here is Baby D at 9 Months.

He will ALWAYS be my baby.
