Good day and great photos

April 15th, 2009

Today we had a really fun day. We picked up our photos from Sears – and they are great. We went out on a limb this year and didn’t go to our beloved Picture People in effort to cut back on spending a little. And it was between 1/3 to 1/2 the price. But I’m not dissing Picture People – they cut your photos, frame them, give them to you on the same day … they are awesome. Anyway, we’re very happy with what we got. Part of it may just be that we’re smarter at buying the photos now. We went in with a complete list of who needs what sizes and we ignored all sales tactics aimed at getting us to purchase big packages and collages and “enhancements” and we just ordered what we needed.

Then Ella got to ride her favorite “animal ride” (carousal) at the mall – which she asked about starting at the moment we pulled into the parking lot.

Afterward we picked up my sister and had lunch with her, very fun. And we got to meet my sister’s BFF at work. Nice to meet you Stacy! Your running advice was inspiring. I have lots of running questions to ask you.

So we had very good time with Sara. And we loved the VIP treatment she got us at Chic Fil A. It’s good to know people.

Also, I got Sara the new Tori Spelling book for her birthday – so book club members, I hope it gets put into circulation. Although she may accuse you of not returning it after you clearly have.

Here are some photos we picked up today.

I’ve actually had to hide this dress from her because she wants to wear it everyday. Can you blame her?

I loved this one especially.

    Adorable! My favorite is of the three of you. You make such a cute family. I do love that dress. Looks like you two are going to have many, many fun shopping days in the future. Start saving.

    These are fabulous photos!!!!! Can you use your new family picture in FW Family on the contributors’ page?? It’s so much fun to see Ella growing up! Lucky you, she likes to wear dresses! :-)
