Poinsettias put me in the mood for Christmas! Today we went to Bruce's Greenhouse in Blythwood...they have the most beautiful poinsettias! We were able to get the kids in their Christmas outfits and take some wonderful photos! Jase is now 6 months old and growing like a weed. He's on the brink of turning over and even maintains his balance just enough to begin sitting up (ironically in the baby bathtub you put in the sink..think I might try the one that suctions to the real bathtub in a week or so). Emma Grace is really getting excited about going to get our live tree on Friday and decorating the house for Christmas! Then comes her BIRTHDAY "just two days after Jesus' birthday!" I love it when she says that! She has such a sweet personality. I am a bit afraid that this staying home thing has made her very clingy to her mommy. I am hoping that she will want to get out and do more with other people. Tomorrow she is supposed to go to Ms. Jennifer's and play with Zoe and Emily and maybe even bake cookies, so that should be fun! Just hope she remembers her manners. We've been really working on that and trying to praise her a lot when we see it. She reminds us that we don't say "Oh, gosh!" we say "Oh goodness".

Well, here are some photos of our wee ones surrounded by a sea of poinsettias; go to Bruce's if you've never been there and get some great photos and pick up a poinsettia or two!
