We had an appointment this morning with the photographer.  We were attempting a family portrait and Maria’s 18 month pictures (a little early to beat the Christmas rush).

I made the appointment for 9 a.m., so we’d be first in and Maria wouldn’t be tired.  But still, we didn’t get much.  Maria was not ready to sit still or pose. Not even with Chad and I.  So the time I spent hunting for outfits for all of us was to no avail.  We were able to get a few of Maria, and she will be going solo on the Christmas cards this year.  Definitely cute, but just frustrating when we had hopes for a family picture.
