attempting to take a Christmas card picture...

interesting observations:
1 - its freezing and i have a short-sleeve shirt and no socks on the baby
2 - not quite sure what dear hubby's vision was for the background... but that is the view from the front of our property
3 - at least we are laughing and having fun

ps - happy anniversary mom and dad, (nana and nonno), we love you!!

creativity...

How do you encourage a creative, artistic spirit in your baby, toddler or young child?

- we have what my husband affectionately calls "the creativity zone": basically a coffee table that is always available for our sons' creative juices to flow... its usually coloring, or drawing, but currently there are three lincoln log houses on the table :)
