Christmas Card Photo Shoot

I recently got a new camera and was very excited to use it to take the pictures for this years Christmas cards. Between Max screaming and me being uneducated about my camera it made for a difficult shoot. I ended up quiting the first day of shooting without a great shot. My mom helped me with the second shoot and it went much better. I think the little angry elf is happy he won't have to wear that silly outfit anymore.

This first picture shows that I am not very good at manually

focusing my camera and that I had an angry elf to cheer up.

It was taken at the beginning of the shoot on day one.

This is probably my favorite picture. This was taken the 2nd day.

Pictures of Max in his Halloween Costume

I went on a haunted trolley tour of Atchison with some of my friends from work. We had a great time but I didn't take the best pictures. It was raining out that night so I did the best I could.

New Swing Set

We got a used swing set off of craigslist a month or two ago. It got a little chilly soon after we got it so we haven't had alot of good days to use it. Yesterday was very nice out so Max got to play on his swing set.

Thanks for my magnets Grandma Sue Sue!

My Grandma Sue Sue made me my very own magnets for the fridge and I love them! Thanks Grandma Sue Sue for watching me this week and for the magnets!

Left alone with Aunt Jenee'

Jenee' came over to watch Max for 5 minutes so I could run an errand. I had already got him all cleaned up so he could go to Grandma's. This is what I came home to.

First Beer With Papa

Max had his first "beer" with his Papa Bill. Max loves Papa's beer bottles so Papa decided to rinse one out so Max could play with the bottle. I thought it was pretty funny but Grandma didn't think it was all that cute. By the way these pictures were taken before Bill's back injury. We aren't letting him drink on all his pain killers.

Here's a video of Max saying "Quack Quack"!
