1 year Pictures

So as you all know, Macade turned 1 in November. So it is time for his annual picture. Well this year our budget is a tad bit tighter so we are not going professional this year. I decided to try my own pictures. That went just swell. Macade would not sit still, he would not smile, it was a mess. But i did manage to get a few shots in. Here are some of my favorites, but i am going to touch them up a bit with that wonderful photoshop. Just soften the lighting, rid the redeye and such. But i must say, he is cutie. And they are decent for being taken by me. But we are going at it again so that we get a few in a different outfit. We will see if my patience will last.

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

So, it took me a while this year to get my decorations out, but they are done. We bought the tree this week and i finally got it all decorated along with all the cute things around the home. It just gets me in the holiday mood. Although our tree is looking a bit naked underneath. I guess i should pull out those gifts in hiding and wrap them up. Yeah, well that is going to have to happen when my little Macade is not around to rip the paper, pull the strings, carry the gifts and hide them somewhere to be found another day. Whew, the joys of a child.

Macade decided he was going to help me with the lights on the tree. He is mamas little helper.

Here is the finished product. I kind of like it.

And here is the fireplace all decorated cute. The bathroom and kitchen are done too but i did not feel like running around the house taking pictures. Sorry. But our little home looks so cute all done up!!
