Our attempt at a Christmas card photo, taken on Thanksgiving. Our posed shots never work. The Husband looks drugged.
This is a whole series I took of the girls while we were waiting for the Christmas parade to start.
Once again, we did not purposely coordinate their outfits, but I swear they look like they're in the middle of a professional photo shoot here.
This is the first year we didn't have massive Santa Anxiety. She wouldn't talk...she had her fingers in her mouth the whole time...but she seemed happy about it!
My Advent calendar! I didn't have the magnets on the backs yet when I took this photo, but it's on my fridge now. See all those perfect little letters? Cut out of silver cardstock with what is one of the best gifts I've ever received: A Silhouette digital paper cutter. Man, I love that thing. So, the Adventivities are written on little slips of paper inside the tins, but you could put chocolate in there, too, or even little tiny gifts or ornaments.
This is the giant snowflake I made out of paint stirrers and popsicle sticks and hung on my front door. The Husband's coat caught on it and broke some of the pieces off. Which the dog promptly ate. So right now it's on my dining room table, but I have spare parts, so I think I can repair it.
This is what happens when you let a three-year-old "dust" the cookies with sugar.
My FAVORITE Christmas food! Clementines make me so happy.
This is meant to serve as photographic evidence that I got her into at least ONE of the six holiday dresses she has. She's on an anti-dress kick, though I may have finally figured out how to thwart her: I think it's the tights she hates, not so much the dresses. I need to stock up on leggings.
Naptime on the couch. I love sleeping kiddos.
Please make special note of the coconut snow, the caramel chimney, and the cinnamon firewood. And that's supposed to be a sled that the giant snowman is riding, though, proportionally, it looks more like a flatbed. I dig it.

um, yeah. and you were complaining about what? not getting things done? you know you can stop now and be well ahead of most people, right?
I looooove the advent calendar! So modern, so portable, etc.
Thank you! And the Advent calendar is a very slightly adapted version of one on the Martha Stewart website (just search for Advent). The snowflake idea came from...some magazine. I'll have to get back to you guys on that.
I love her rainbow-bright mittens. I want some! Such great photos, thank you!
