Christmas Preview

Thank goodness Natalie isn't a girly girl, or I am not sure I'd really know what to do with her.  Around here, we are truly play clothes kind of people.  But, I find that picking out nice dress clothes is really fun and makes it seem like a way bigger deal since we spend most all of our time in jeans and t-shirts.  I scored some pretty nice Black Friday deals on the kids' Christmas outfits (which I'm really ok with since if they wear them twice it's going to be a lot).

With some serious bribing I got Natalie into her dress and then put Ben in his outfit for pictures for our holiday cards--I didn't include that picture here so you can all be surprised when they come.  Here's a little preview:

I like to think that she's telling him that if he stops crying and cooperates, I'll get the pictures I want sooner and we can move on to something they really want to do!
