Christmas Card

The Christmas card photo shoot was a little more complicated this year!

Here are a few of our many attempts:

 Violet kept trying to leave the scene!

 Whoa!

 At one point they both finally sat still but where just staring into space!

 Violet became obsessed with JJ's Santa hat:

 What a cute little Santa!

 These two get distracted very easily!

We hope you enjoy the three poses we picked when it arrives in the mail!

JJ's First Christmas Ornament

We ordered JJ's first Christmas ornament the other day.

Can't wait for it to arrive so we can hang it on the tree!

Santa!

JJ was so excited to try on his new Christmas clothes!

I realize that these are all the exact same pose, but I 

love them all so much that I couldn't pick just one!

He was so happy and smiley when we put on his Santa hat!

After the photo shoot at home, we headed off to meet Santa.

 Luckily they caught this pic of JJ sneaking a peek 

at Santa because right after this moment he started crying!

Favorite Calendar Pic

Our bulldog calendar in the kitchen has lots of silly 

pictures of bulldogs.  November is my favorite:

John and I like to tease Violet about this pic.

Happy Thanksgiving!

JJ had a great first Thanksgiving!

He tried some new foods at dinner and ending up staining his 

Thanksgiving sweater so his hung out in his undershirt!

We had a lot of fun with family!

JJ had a lot of fun playing with his cousins!

 JJ loves his corn on the cob!

The cousins on the couch photo shoot was so cute!!

 JJ likes drinking water from Daddy's cup:

 JJ and Alex are starting to take an interest in one another:
