Family Pictures

Matt had today off again. Besides it being shotgun season, he has several days left to use before the end of his anniversary time at work. His year begins and ends in November because that is the month he started working at Burris. If he doesn't use his vacation time, he loses it, so he has taken several days off in the last two weeks. It works out well so he can hunt during his time off.

We took advantage of this day off by scheduling last minute family pictures. A friend who is a photographer worked us into her schedule today. Thanks Laura! We met her at a local park, thinking outdoor pictures would be nice. Boy did it get cold today! The last few days have been pretty warm, but today was very windy and chilly.

We had to do pictures in the shade to that we weren't squinting into the sun, so we were even colder! Mikayla usually smiles tons when she sees a camera, but today, she was more interested in the playground behind us. We told her she could play after we did pictures and she didn't cry, but she just really wanted to play.

We haven't seen the pictures yet, but I'm sure at least one will come out decent for our Christmas card. After pictures, we went to a local coffee shop to warm up. It is such a nice cozy place and we think we will be spending some more time there.

Tonight, we are going to my Mom's house for dinner. It will be a nice time with family. Well I guess I should say we are going if Matt does not get a deer tonight. He is hunting right now actually. We should be able to leave when he comes in around 5:30. If he gets a deer, we will be eating apple pie for dinner. I have no plans for dinner since my mom invited us over. I was in charge of dessert, so all we have is apple pie.

I'm not sure which I would prefer...Matt getting a deer and apple pie for dinner, or Matt not getting a deer and pot roast for dinner. Guess we will have to wait and see.
