Pictures for holiday cards

I decided I would get ahead of the holiday rush of things by trying to get holiday cards purchased before the middle of December when Andrew would be asking (demanding) I stop everything I am doing (or not doing) and get them done.  

They turned out good enough...the cards are ordered and in production and to be delivered by the first of December per the order confirmation updates I got today.  Now I just need to go to Costco and make a Costco sized stamp purchase.  More on Costco and my love for it later. 

Miss M insisted on taking pictures. This is probably how I look to the kids all the time. Unimpressive.  Good thing they can't make reasonable judgements yet to throw in my face like why hasn't she showered in X number of days or did she really brush her teeth today?

 Little buddy.

 Miss Cate was sleeping. I was just shooting pictures to try and see if the lighting was going to be good enough.

Miss M insisted on wearing this outfit. She never wants to dress up or wear anything besides leggings or sweatpants and stained shirts so I was happy we didn't have to fight about wearing something that didn't have stains on it. And I probably wouldn't have fought over anything. I probably would have just given in to whatever her demands were as I only have so much energy on a Monday morning.

The kids fought over who got to hold Miss Cate without caring that they needed to try not to break her.  This is Miss M telling her brother to suck it b/c he didn't have her and he was crying b/c he wanted her.

 This is role reversal. He's pumped he has her and she's all sorts of ticked off and not cooperating.

Mr. Man doesn't look ticked in this picture but he is. There are tears streaming down his face b/c he didn't want Miss M touching his baby.

They both ran off and left Miss Cate and I alone so I took some pics of her. She's still in an awkward stage where she's all scrunched up and wants to fall over.
