Endless Pursuit for the Perfect Christmas Card Picture Take 1

There is a beautiful ginko tree that I walk/run/waddle by each day that has the most georgous golden yellow leaves and I told myself last year....everyday, grab Amelia and get her picture.  Did I??  NO!!!  Well this year I told everyone that I walk/run with to not let me forget.   So yesterday morning, just the right amount of leaves have fallen and just the right amount of leaves were still on the ground and the light was just right and even though I was out numbered and Amelia hadn't had a nap, and I had to wake Bennett up from his I decided to take them and try!!!

So this is where I tell you that Amelia acted like a terrible three year old, kicking and screaming, and she wouldn't smile, or Bennett threw a fit and cried the entire time, or the wind blew to hard or mom had a breakdown because she realized that she was just being a MORON, trying to do this without help, but I won't, because none of that happened!!!

Amelia played and laughed the entire time.  Bennett loved the outside...duh...and giggled, smiled and watched his sister, the sun set just perfect and the wild wind calmed down, mom did not have breakdown, because I figured I could come back the next day, it was literally 30 seconds from the house so it was all good.   I seriously was able to take 200 pictures in 25 minutes.   I went for quantity hoping to get a few good ones.....So these below are a few of the ones we got.   They may or may not show up on a a Christmas card.   I am just glad to have some good shots of the two nuggets together.
