Christmas Picture

We took our Christmas picture a few days ago and I just have to share how funny I think it is. We took it the morning my parents left after I had been up all night throwing up. Yay for getting the stomach flu the day my help leaves and having the joy of a 1 year and 3 week old to take care of! (I actually didn't have Liam for a good portion of the time as the Dirkses and Provosts swooped in and saved me) Anyway, I had great plans of what we would wear and how it would be matching and cute. At the baby shower, we had gotten matching sweaters for the boys that would have been perfect. That morning however, the sweaters, matching, looking good, none of that was in my mind. I was just impressed with myself that I was dressed and that Asher hadn't leaked through on his sleeper during the night. Might as well keep him in it, right!? I then tossed Liam into a new outfit my parents had gotten him that was cute, but orange. Yep, orange, the perfect color to go with the seasonal colors of red and green. It'll probably end up being a favorite Christmas picture of mine just because of the memory :)
