You can't see the photos yet, but you'll be absolutely amazed when you do. I know we were! We took Christmas card photos of Madison today, and also did our photos for our annual Godzilla card too - and some of these photos were simply stunning. We have such a beautiful daughter!
Daddy brought home a big stand to hang a green screen up. BUT, after a bit of technical difficulty, we wound up using a white sheet instead. This completely altered our thinking of what the final product would be. The end result is so gorgeous. It's like we had a professional photography studio here - we can't wait to send these out. This year, we'll be sending photos out inside cards, rather than our traditional card format. But when you see the photos, you won't mind a bit!
Today was Madison's last ballet practice until December - she's been having a great time with it and Mrs. Jenny. Hopefully, there'll be enough sign-ups for this next class because Madison really likes her teacher and really enjoys the class a lot. There are lots of fun dances to do with her friends, and they all look so adorable together in their ballerina outfits. It's princess time.
Tonight, thanks to Daylight Savings Time, it was dark when we left. That was different! Madison is learning about seasons a bit, in that regard. She walks outside and says, "Night night!"
Speaking of seasons and weather, in the news: Alaska is taking a brutal hit from an unusual hurricane-type storm. It's unusual because you think of hurricane force winds and associate that with tropical conditions. Yet, that is clearly not the case in Nome, Alaska, where there's snow and ice and frigid temperatures. It's got to be terrible up there right now.
Here in Georgia, it's cold and windy - but after seeing reports from Alaska, we'll not complain a bit about the weather!
Mommy spent some time today making stockings for Bill Wilson's ministry in New York. It helps kids who don't have much - so Mommy joined plenty of other families that actually cut a pattern of cloth and sew together stockings of a particular size, and then fill them up with goodies! She does this each year, and Madison usually helps out as well. In fact, click here to see a photo of Madison stuffing these very same kinds of stockings two years ago.
Madison had a funny moment this morning. We try to remember all the little quirky things, which is perfect for this blog so we can go back and laugh. Okay, so do you remember this pirate here? He is a Playmobil ghost pirate that for some reason Madison has grown really attached to. Yes, we've got cute toys and Barbie dolls and stuffed animals. But occasionally, she'll still pull this ghost pirate out and he'll hang out with her. In fact, this week, he's been a good friend: during our visit to the chiropractor, she put him on the chiropractor's bed, face down so he could get his adjustment. And this morning, she made a big pile of snow out of pieces of cut up fabric. The purpose of the snow? So the ghost pirate could make snow angels:
