Getting Ready For Christmas

Well not really, but we did get some "Christmas pictures" taken this past weekend for our Christmas cards. I wrapped up boxes for each of the babies to sit in and then some smaller boxes for them to play with. We went to Gail and Dave's so they could take the pictures for us.

It didn't take the babies long to tear into the wrapping paper and chew holes in the boxes. Then they had fun crawling in and out of them. All they need for Christmas is wrapped up empty boxes that they can crawl into. Speaking of Christmas wishes, Maggie got her wish early...her 2 front teeth are finally coming in nicely.

We weren't lucky enough to have everyone looking in one shot, so I knew of someone who can cut and paste heads to create one picture where everyone is looking their best. If you ever need someone to do that for you her website is http://mjmphotocreations.blogspot.com/ . She was really good to work with and got it back to me in no time.

I love the way the boys are looking at each other in this one.

Casey looks so excited, like he just opened the coolest gift (and Maggie is pretty interested in it too).

Maggie and Auntie Gail were pushing the boys around. I think that is the closest they have been with no fighting in a long time.

Christmas will be fun this year. We haven't decided yet what we are going to do about a tree. We may have to expand the baby jail that we have around the TV and put it in there. There is no way that we could have it not surrounded by something because they would have it pulled over it no time and be pooping pine needles for days.

Very cute idea! We just went to a resale and bought a baby jail gate for $15 to use around the tree. I figured it would come in handy year after year!
