Getting Into The Spirit of the Season with Cousin Adeline

This morning, Aunt Julie and I decided to put Jack and Adeline into their matching Christmas sweaters and take advantage of the beautiful weather yet again while we can. In Chicago, you just never know....could be in the 80's one day and it could be snowing the next week:)

We were hoping to get a really cute vintage themed 2010 Christmas "grandkids" photo for Granny and Papa's house since they are beginning to decorate for the holiday's this weekend. Well, we never got that "perfect" picture, but we certainly did try very hard. Adeline really enjoyed slapping Jack's head...and he did not appreciate it so much. Then, Jack decided to share some pine cones that he found in the yard with his cousin.....and suddenly, there was lots of sap everywhere, even Adeline's mouth. Gotta love babies!!! Even though, I neglected to shoot a perfect photo of these 2 cousins, I still decided to edit some of the pics anyway because I still think they are darling. In life, very few things are indeed "perfect".....and in Granny and Papa's eye's, these little two cuties are always perfect anyway:)

Here are some of the shots from out little pre-Christmas shoot in our backyard this morning. I love both of these babies...and they are quite good friends too....that is, when they want to be....HA!
