I'd give a thousand dollars for your dd's gorgeous smile. And your son is definitely heartbreaker material!

Herkle, can you believe that my dh didn't like her smile in that pic?????? Amazing!!! I thought it was wonderful!!! Frankly, I don't like the pic the family picked. I did have extra copies of this one made to put in a few close friends' envelopes! LOL
Thanks Lucy.

Here's the 'official' family pic.

btw..regarding all that painting in the background.....about 3 years ago, I invited all the kids on our street to come over and paint their whatever they wanted on our fence. We moms had wine and appetizers while the kids painted.

Those are good lookin' kids!! I think that is a cute picture, with the dogs. What are the dogs names? Hey, for that matter, what are the kids' names?

Well, I think you chose the right one for the cards because the focus is on THEM. I like the one with the doggies mind you (you know I love dogs), but the first one allows the viewer to zero in on what everyone wants to see--your angels. The other one diffuses the focus just a bit too much.

No, I can't believe your dh doesn't like that smile on your dd in the first one. It is a 100-watt beauty any dentist would love to use on a billboard! She has the natural beauty that just grabs you, doesn't she?

Did see the background, but couldn't make it out. I thought that first thing on the left was a growing plant! Anyway, what a nice mom! Bet the kids had a blast. And good for all the moms, too! Heh.

Thanks Julie. Dogs are Bailey and Magic and Stacy and Sam.
Herkle, I wasn't clear. They all picked and over ruled me..the family card is the one with all the animals. But, I did get extra copies of just the two of them (for the reasons you said) to slip in with the official card to a few family and friends.

It was one of my better mom moments. LOL

Question...

We have had our tree up since November 26th. This is because we leave home on December 19th and we will not be back until the 29th. It is a real tree and chances are that it will be looking quite sad when we return. Our house sitter will keep it watered and all, but that only helps to a point. Now my question is this:

If you were me, would you take the tree down before going on vacation and have one less thing to worry about, or would you hold out and do it after returning in attempts to get a couple more days out of it?

Wrong person to ask because I love having the tree up until the day after New Year's. What's a little more mess if you are enjoying the tree?

I would take it down. How depressing to come home to a dead tree! LOL Better yet, pay your house sitter to do it while you are gone!!!!!!!!

Pay the housesitter! Texannie has that right!

Congrats on actually putting a tree up! I'm going to be gone for Christmas and again after New Years. I'm just not going to bother with it.

One year I put it up in mid December and liked it so much I left it up until my birthday at the end of February! That was one dry tree! But still pretty.

On the other hand, you should just leave it up if it gives you joy!

Schoolmarm,

Thank you for the chuckle! You reminded me of the story my mom told me about the first Christmas tree my parents had...

Neither one would take the tree out after Christmas so my mom would cut one branch off of it every day and my dad would take it out to the garbage on his way to work!

That seems a lot more trouble than taking down the tree but they were young and stubborn about silly things like that!

I love my DH!! He put up most of our outside lights yesterday but told me he couldnt do the upstairs outside lights cuz of surgery....I said it was ok(and pouted secretly)

I drove up tonite and almost cried!!! He did one row up top! It's little things like that that make me love him more everyday........it was especially special tonite cuz I had the worst day at work and seeing the lights made me forget all about it.

Pamy! He's a keeper!!!

Here's a picture of our little tree... it looks better in person I think, or maybe it's because it smells so good in person!
