Christmas picture - next year we’re doing this at home

(Try humming Jingle Bells while reading below)
Dashing to the mall
In an old Nissan sedan
To the department store we go
To have a Christmas portrait made
The baby fusses and sleeps
Strapped safely in her car seat
What she doesn’t know is that drama awaits as we try to stage a happy Christmas
Oh, Christmas portrait
Obligatory portrait
Next year we’re doing this at home
Sophie’s pulling up her dress
Her hair’s a straight up mess
We’ll be lucky to get one photo
Oh, Christmas portrait
Obligatory portrait
Next year we’re doing this at home
We have a digital camera
We’ll sit her in front of the tree
And perhaps she will truly be happy
Next entry: A bittersweet review
Previous entry: My mother is making more sense

Hi Nicole-
I just stumbled across your blog and had to send you a quick note. My daughter Sophia Rose was born in Richmond, VA on September 13th! I just thought the coincidence (name, birthdate) was funny. I too will be going back to work on Jan 3rd, so I share your pain of juggling motherhood and career.
The baby is beautiful and congratulations!
