My Photographic Life

Our Christmas Day

Posted by on Sunday, December 25th, 2011

Hello- Y’all have a good day? It was chaos at times here but mostly all good and I only got cranky a few times – and then felt horribly guilty following.

We started our day with some yummy healthy pancakes. I was feeling Zen at this time. We had opened about half the presents and paused for some coffee and food. And boy was it good.

 

Following this we opened more presents- and I ran around with a garbage bag? Yes I did. Probably why I was cranky too. But they were cute as well and no bickering had started yet.

Then the sugar crash hit and the bickering started and I wasn’t feeling all warm and fuzzy with my three. Off I went so I stole away for a while, read some and soaked in a tub and felt cute again..a little. :) But I wasn’t going to be anyone’s maid so I put them to work before  we ate our yummy Vegan Christmas Dinner (Our First)

I had to take a photo of the photo preview on the camera- Mind you I was ready for some wine and relaxation but not going through 400 photos most of which showed the backside of a child in the way of the present opening other child. I bit my tongue and avoiding maneuvering them around because my philosophy has always been record what is going on- don’t pose and definitely don’t rearrange.

90% of the time I honor this.

But I did ask Gabby to go sit with her siblings in front of the TV so I could take a photo of the three together- she was watching it next to us.

And My twin and I did sit and take smiling photos of us. We have very few photos of the two of us together. Inevitably one looked good and that one LOVED it and the other was nearly half cut off or sneering and not surprisingly that one HATED it.  So we kept taking photos. When we agreed on a cute photo, we stopped. It took quite a lot of photos to finally stop. I think fatigue actually did us in…cause I could take them all night long looking at me- Oh dear…is that what I look like?? LOL. And scarily enough there someone always says- yes…. Shoot.

Well now if I had time I’d sit here and process all the photos from day and go on and on about how much I love Christmas and watching the kids have fun. But the kids are going down. I need to tuck them in and say my goodnights.

So I shall say goodnight to you all…

 

Oops one last photo…

    Merry Christmas! We had an early, exciting morning. I hardly slept at all the night before (bed at midnight, tossed and turned until I gave up at 3am and started watching TV on the iPad). Everyone was up at 4am! I was soooo excited about KayTar’s big gift, I couldn’t sleep. LOL. I wasn’t cranky yesterday, just sleepy!
