How is your holiday shopping going? Well, we did something we thought we'd never, ever do--put lights on our front porch! Icicle hanging lights! Ahhhhh! There is a reason, however. We usually put those candles in the window, but with a little baby-toddler running amok around here, and one who is obsessed with lights at that, we were pretty sure they would all be smashed on the floor in a matter of minutes. But we wanted something sparkly and bright on the house. So---we bit the bullet and put the lights up tonight. To my surprise...they actually look really GOOD! We also have a homemade wreath (a Thanksgiving tradition at S.'s mom's house - before dinner wreath making with handpicked greens) with white lights hanging on the porch. We're in all sorts of Christmas spirit around here. Did I mention we also have our tree up? A fakey again this year, a smallish tabletop one. Again, the baby-toddler.
We'll leave you with some picks of our surly boy. You cannot get that kid to crack a smile when you try, but when he's ready to be happy, he's happy.
At the start of photo session--not so happy!
(This is what we'd call a "typical" Theo look--the kid sure can pout)
Warming up! (this ended up being our best shot!)
Finally, a genuine giggle and Theo accepts his fate.

He is ALWAYS wearing something that I love...but I know his mommas have great taste! As per usual, I think his surliest faces are the cutest!
Beautiful eyes!!!! wow!
Aww, pouty! Too funny. I'm not sure which is better, when kids learn how to fake smile for a camera or when they just stare at it blankly as if to say "come ON mom, get that thing away from my face".
I love the icicle lights! I'd hang them up if I did that sort of thing....or if I had a house....
And Theo is precious.
he just wanted you guys to work for his smile :]
These are adorable! I love the hand to the chest photo!
