Busy Weekend

We had one busy weekend! Friday night I did a little Christmas shopping and finished a few people. And I'm hoping to be completely done by the end of this week. I still need to get a few gift cards for my cousins and I need to think of something to get my mom. I thought about getting her one of these, but I'm still not sure. I could also get her a grandma charm for her necklace or even a movie. Any ideas?

On Saturday, my hubby and I did more C-mas shopping and then I watched the red head's that evening so their parents could go to a work holiday party. While we had them, we decided to start getting the C-mas decorations out. I have so much that I can get out, but I really don't want to. Honestly, I didn't even want to get out the tree or it's decorations. It's about a third of the way done, but I have no motivation to finish it. For some reason, I'm just not in the mood to decorate my home this year...what's wrong with me???

After church on Sunday, we headed over to the oldest red head's bday party. We had some great pizza while my son got to hang out with a couple of boy's his age. Then after the party, we got together at my mom's house to make a ton of Cmas treats. We made chocolate crinkles, peanut butter, mint chocolate, and coffee blossoms, peanut butter fudge, no-bakes, chocolate and peanut butter bark, chocolate covered pretzels, 7-layers, and Cmas M&M cookies. It all tastes sooooo delicious! I can't wait to share them with everyone at our holiday gatherings.

Have you finished shopping yet?

Baby Pictures

Since I got a free portrait package from the hospital, we took the baby to get his pictures taken last night. This time went much better compared to our family pictures that we had taken last Saturday. The photographer, a lovely lady my age, but missing her front four teeth, was only running 10 minutes behind. Because the baby was well rested, she got some great pics of my wide-eyed 6 week old. The baby really did well and I'm very happy with the photos! I ended up getting more than the free package since I never sent out an announcement card. So family and friends will be getting a Christmas/announcement card instead!

Oh, while we were there, one of the next customers got upset with our photographer. Apparently the costumer was upset with her since she was running a little behind (not an hour and an half like this other studio was-but just 15 minutes behind). I mean, the lady was only working by herself, doing quality work, during the Christmas rush! You know you have to wait a little longer in traffic and in store lines during the holidays, so why would you think that it would be any different with photo studios? In fact, there has never been a time where I've gone to get pictures taken and the photographer was waiting on me...they are always busy! But here was this customers yelling and complaining-she was so rude I almost gave her a piece of my mind...and she wasn't even talking to me!

So much for peace on earth, good will toward men...and photographers! :-)
