You know it's almost Christmas when...

You order your Christmas cards. I finally got a pretty decent (when I say decent, I mean the picture isn't blurry and Little Man has his eyes open) picture of Little Man today wearing his Christmas outfit. We've tried so many times to get a good picture that he knows this outfit is his Christmas outfit. I decided to put 2 pictures on the card this year. I just love this picture of Little Man outside and wanted to share it. So I added it to the card too (it's actually cropped and just shows his head and shoulders, if you're wondering how it was going to fit on the card).

I uploaded the pictures to Walmart and did delivery to them so I should be able to pick them up next week. I'm SO excited! I normally send my Christmas cards out the weekend after Thanksgiving. Last year I think I was a few weeks 'late'. In my terms at least. I was thinking I was going to be 'late' again this year and I'm not. Go Me!

I am excited for Christmas this year. Little Man is a year older and it's going to be neat watching him experience everything for the first time. See his face when he sees all the decorations, hear the Christmas songs and also hear the Christmas story. With money tight Daddy and I are spending the money we would have used for gifts for eachother on Little Man. He really needs more toys for his age so he'll have a few more toys to open this year. I can't wait to watch him rip open his gifts while wearing his pj's before we head to church.

I also want to do a shout out to my friend Heather who will be having an extra special Christmas this year. She and her husband are leaving right after Thanksgiving to go pick up their son in Russia!!! They will be home for Christmas! What an awesome Christmas they will have!
