Oh No She Didn't!

Oh yes we did. We put our tree up. Trees. This is the one in the girls play room. They decorated it themselves so it's really bottom heavy. But fab. We have another in the living room that's not decorated yet but will be this week. They just couldn't wait so I said why not. Check that off the list.
I spent last week with a good five day long headache. It's not unusual, very annoying, hard to work. But I'm feeling better and ready to get back to life. I took the girls' picture for our Christmas card. I love it. Can't wait to show it to you. I'm finishing up the last of the Christmas sessions and hopefully will be done with them by this weekend. Please hold me to that cuz I really do want to be done with them soon.
Later gaters. Happy Monday.

Ahh, that's a gorgeous photo! Now I wanna put my tree up!!
What a beautiful tree and I love this picture of the girls gazing into it!
That is gorgeous!! Lovely shot! Lovely tree!!!! Gets me in the mood.......
ooh, lovely. I might just be able to get this shot this year now that Henry is two and not a running one-year-old. And is old enough to bribe. Gorgeous!
P.S. Got the gift card, happy day! Thank you again!
You're getting holiday things done early! I'm jealous! :) Hope your headache stays away this week!
what a lovely, evocative shot. i'll have to try something like that...when we get our tree up :).
Man you rock! Tree already up and a gorgeous photo to boot! We always do our the day after Thanksgiving. Altho this'll be the first year we do a big tree with Nadia, since she was just too crazy and curious in past years!
Beautiful shot!
Keep on marching to your own beat, why not!
I love it!
:)
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SHOT! I love the perfect lighting and the silhouette of the girls. What a peaceful moment you caught. Just beautiful.
So pretty. I love the lighting.
Absolutely stunning shot! I just love the lighting and your little girls are just adorable -- looks like the perfect shot for those Christmas cards :)
I LOVE it. I was just thinking today...would I be totally nuts to get a tree this week?
That shot is beautiful! And I'm glad to see that someone else is as excited about Christmas as I am!
Your tree twinkles and sings! And the photo itself, I love it....
I thought I was the only one, all of our inside decorations (trees included) went up the first week in November. Now we can enjoy the rest of the holiday season! If you lived closer, I'd meet you for a glass of holiday cheer~
So lovely, and festive. I can't wait to take tree photos, but since we get a real tree we'll need to wait until December...
that picture looks like it was tricky to capture and you did it perfectly! i am still puzzled about what the settings must have been :)
that is so funny that you have the tree up already! i am itching to get xmas cards out there-- already have them ready
I really love your blog!
The lighting is beautiful.
The way I look at it is, one less thing to do in the next 6 weeks.
oh my god, i LOVE you, Mel! I have been resisting my Christmas decorating urges for weeks now...i have however been listening to Christmas music while working for the last week...can't get enough of it.
that photo is so absolutely amazing. it is the wonder and beauty of Christmas all wrapped up in one gorgeous photo.
ooh, gorgeous shot. love it!
Wow...you are sooo ahead of the game!! Awesome shot...perfect for a christmas card!
Beautiful. I love the horse, the frame of the window and of course the girls and the tree. The lighting and colors are great. It will make a great card. So were the girls happy participants or did you have to bribe them for the photo?
I have to bribe mine these days!
i love this image! i'm so happy that you have your tree up, now i don't feel so crazy for wanting to start decorating mine!
i love that picture so much i could EAT it!
soooo fun!
and yes... why the heck not! wish we could... will have to wait til we're back from TX! :)
What a gorgeous shot. I love that you let them have their own tree and decorate it and I'm sure they love it, too. Hope you are feeling better. I've had some of those headaches lately, too. Lack of sleep maybe??
I love that picture! It totally puts me in the mood for the holidays :) I was wondering if you would reveal where you got that awesome dress and boots that you were wearing in the pictures that Maile took of you and your family, please oh please tell me :)
