Christmas Pictures

Our favorite photographers took the pictures for our Christmas card. On the original day, Connor who is normally all smiles for pictures screamed the whole time. There were no pictures with both of us together. My left the shoot just crying. The deadline for getting pictures done in time for Christmas cards was right around the corner.


I, Ellie, who doesn't really like the camera thought I would cooperate since Connor wasn't.

So the photographers re-schedule the shoot for another day and we try again. Connor has decided recently that all sticks should be a fishing pole. Of course this makes daddy very happy. The week of the second shoot, Connor has also decided that "bankies" should go EVERYWHERE. So we go to the second shoot and there is no getting that blanket away from Connor and the stick is his fishing pole. In the end mom decided that it was a great picture, just not what she had envisioned for the Christmas card.

Thanksgiving

We traveled to Maryland for Thanksgiving to see Aunt Connie & Uncle Doug. It was very cold but we had lots of fun. Here are a couple of pictures of Aunt Connie's yoga room turned into a nursery for our stay.
While we were visiting we went to the National Zoo, took a walk on the Potomac River and had a picnic at the playground. For Thanksgiving dinner we got to eat with the adults and even eat off of the china and silver. Ellie really likes "bubbles" just like aunt Connie. Mom and dad aren't really good at the picture taking thing so there are no pictures of our thanksgiving dinner.
