The Girl Can Jump!

Maddy has what I call --Mad Jumping Skills!
I'm sure she inherited her athletic abilities from me! 
HA --- kidding!
No one would ever describe me as athletic!
My favorite jumping sport when I was young, 
was jumping jacks and the pogo stick -- those count, right???


She and I went out the other day to attempt to get 
some photos for our Christmas card.
Although she likes to have family photos for Christmas and
prefers someone besides me to take the photos,
not gonna happen this year since
you know who (moi) is
STILL sporting a black eye. :(


Although the weather did not feel like
it was time for Christmas photos
since it was 84 and humid, 
we pretended!
I'm not sure any of the jumping photos
will make it to the final Christmas card,
but I love seeing them.
And . . . doing jumps like those in
skinny, skinny jeans and boots is not easy, 
so she did a  shorter jump as I kept cutting off
her pretty little head!
Ooops -- photo errors happen!
Now, let's everybody --
Jump for Joy!

Landing!

That Elusive "Perfect" Photo for the Card!

Yes, we joined the throngs of
families attempting to get that "perfect" photo
for the annual Christmas card recently!


Even though she is getting older and has more patience with me,  
it can still be a bit of challenge as someone gets bored,
tired, wants to dance and/or do cartwheels. 
When I start to see 
the always attractive "eye-roll",  
 I know my time is up!


While I enjoy dragging her
out for photos, we might still be
trying for that perfect shot, however, the weather
has turned on us!
We knew it would happen and our lovely fall
couldn't last forever!
But . . . who expected ice and January-type
temperatures in November???
Not me! 
So, one of the photos recently taken will have to do!


And I jumped in and got a great sale on Shutterfly today
- so they said anyway.
I feel a bit ahead of schedule this year!
We'll see how long that lasts!
Making any headway on your holiday list yet?
