Christmas Preparations

Here are some pics from Alaina helping us decorate the tree. She wanted to put all her ornaments on one branch lol She had alot of fun doing it and didn't seem to care when I moved them around after :) We've had a few photo shoots since trying to get the perfect Christmas card pic. Well I ran out of time and my baby looks like an Oompa Loompa with orange skin, come to find out carrots are a no no :( We took them to the mall to get a picture with Santa, and found out Santa doesn't work very hard at the Chatham mall, isn't there Mondays or Tuesdays. We were in the elevator to change floors and Brandon noticed a bear with a note saying, 'I'm lost, take me to the sears portrait studio for a reward.' Turned out to be a free session and a free 10x13. They even had 15mins to squeeze us in, since I already had the girls dressed to see Santa I was happy. Alivia was a bit tired and looked at the lady like who are you and what do you want me to do? But Alaina was little miss poser, wish she was that cooperative for me! 2 weeks later and 3 attempts, once even to london (car broke down and didn't make it all the way to the mall, luckily we were at Bailee's though!), we finally got a picture with Santa. Alaina went right to him, but was a bit shy and didn't say much. Alivia sat with him no problem and grabbed a fist of his beard :P
