Happy Turkey Day!

Well, we went to have the pictures done tonight - after many hours of debating which shirt Emmy should wear (which I decided to go red, thank you for all of your help), making sure the the kids were both sparkly clean, combed, ironed, I had packed all clothing changes and accessories - we were ready. The place was packed, we had to wait forever. Finally, it is our turn. The kids looked adorable. Emmy was happy, she sat down just right, practicing her pretty smiles, and Pooky... freaked out. Screamed. Cried. Refused to go anywhere near the studio.
Needless to say, no pictures were taken today. I am soooo frustrated, because Pooky has been impossible to photograph over the last couple of months, and I am feeling desperate to get something decent for Christmas cards. I did reschedule for next week to try again but am feeling very doubtful that it will go any better. Ray is going to try and get some shots this weekend so hopefully I can at least get something for the fricken Christmas card that I am going to get no matter what it takes...

In the meantime, happy Turkey Day everyone! I am so thankful for all I have been blessed with.




Pooky's Thankgiving PJ's - his shirt reads "Who are you calling Turkey? which cracks me up..













My Emmy princess










mmmmm, pie....
(never mind my messy oven, with great pie comes great messes)


















Finally, Emmy made this at church last week. It is a hand turkey, and her Sunday School teacher asked her what she was thankful for, and Emmy said, "I am thankful for my doggie, Chocolate (her Webkinz dog), my Mommy and Daddy, and all of the trees."

All of the trees. I love that kid.

Happy Thanksgiving!
