Merry Christmas Pics--With Love, Vincent and Elena

Vincent and Elena had their Christmas Pics taken on December 4th at around 7. Now keep in mind, they had been in daycare all day. We had to rush home around 5:30, eat in the tub and get all washed up. Getting dressed was interesting...Elena didn't want to wear her beautiful dress, and Vincent felt the same way about his gentleman's outfit. I envisioned a smooth night with this, but it just got even crazier. Got to JC Penny around 6:45--15 minutes late, but they said they didn't even have me down. I need to remind you that I did call and let them know that I would be late--they could have told me then that they didn't have me down. I proved that I had phoned by showing them my calling both that night and 2 nights. They thought I was a little crazy, but I was getting worried they wouldn't be able to fit me in. Well, they did get us in--actually pretty early. By this time though, both Vincent and Elena were just "off the chain." Vincent was warned ahead of time to pay attention to the lady photographer. He was just really silly insisting that he hold his powerrangers in the pics. Elena was just being a 15 month old--busy, busy, busy....didn't want to sit still--was preoccupied with the tree and its lights and ornaments. So when you see the pics where one is looking one way and the other the other way, well, one was looking at me and the other was looking at the photographer. I had to act silly just so they would pay attention. All in all, the pics turned out pretty good--I thought they looked pretty cute. Next time, I will take pics when they are more rested. Elena crashed in the car and was down for the night shortly after we left and Vincent was pretty much the same way. Both had a hard time getting up for daycare at 6am....Happy Holidays to everyone. Christmas cards with pics are soon to be coming--going to pick them up tomorrow eve. We still have to get pics with their cousins too--hope we are still on for this!
