Christmas before Thanksgiving?...and sneak peak #2!!!

Brad and I took John John to the Shops at Legacy in Plano for a Holiday Kick-Off Festival Extravaganza. (probably not the real name!) Brad wasn't too happy about celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving was days away, but it was a nice afternoon out. The weather was gorgeous so it was great to walk John around and see the beginnings of the holiday season.

loving the fountain show!


We are just over a week away until John's first birthday party! I am just working away to get everything done but my to-do list seems to be getting longer instead of shorter! So, here are two more sneak peaks. (Al- Don't tell Bella about her party goody!)

Sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of what I have been working on for John's 1st birthday. Thankfully my friend Rebecca invited me to 'crop night' at a scrapbook store and I got the majority of these pages done as part of the party decorations. I can't wait to put it all together for the big day!

Shutterfly

I am slowly but surely adding pics to shutterfly. As I type, I am uploading over 200 pictures of my precious little baby into the 7 months folder. You can understand it will take me FOREVER to sort through which pictures to add so I am adding them all and you lovely viewers can see for yourself why I simply MUST take over 200 photos per month of John. Because he. is. awesome.

Don't have time to look at thousands of pictures of JAB (what?!?!?), then here is just one to tease you...

Good and bad news though...our camera is breaking on us. (overuse maybe?! hehe!) We have repaired it about a year ago when Mr. Clutz dropped it (in possibly a drunken stupor on the same night the moniker 'Mop Top' was created). Mr. Clutz reappeared with Mrs. Clutz on Halloween night and the camera was dropped again. Said camera works when it feels good and ready to take a picture. Therefore we are probably in the market for a new camera...and ASAP since John's birthday is quickly approaching and the last thing I need is the stress of not having a working camera on December 2ND!! Tears (and heads) will rolls for sure. Anyone have suggestions for a new camera?
