My Christmas Present

OF COURSE I've been extremely good this year!! IS there any doubt? So, for Christmas, Santa took pity on me and gave me a wonderful pre-Christmas present...Here's the background....My front room has this obnoxiously vaulted ceiling...and I have a wall by the stairs that needed SOMETHING....so, I asked Santa to help out. Well, I got an amazing gift...what do you think?? (Maybe Santa is hit with the economic crunch also??...hmmm...but, I'm grateful)

The artistic styling is amazing! The way the colors blend is extrodinary! I am also amazed with how the colors even highlight the rich, deep colors of my wall paint. WOW!!

So, do you think I need to add anything else...maybe some vinyl wall letters?...hmmm

NAAAAHHH..... Here's what I really got!

Oh my goodness....I LOVE THEM!!!!! We went a month or so ago to have family pictures taken by Reversed Lens photography. They captured my kid's personalities just perfectly. I absolutely love them!

And...another shot....Man....I just love them still!!

Here's a close-up of my "carefree, the sky's the limit" Panda Bear. I think they captured that little happy twinkle in her eyes.

Here's my more "serious, shy and reserved (and a little moody)" Bug Man.....with a hint of his "mischievous and humor" poking through.

Here's my "kind-hearted and sensitive" Dr. D.....yet..I think his eyes show a little of his "questioning and cautious-ness"

Sorry about the glare in these pictures.....I know there was a setting I should have had the camera at...oh well...it's just for my blog :)

Oh My! I Absolutely LOVE it! It looks so awesome! Those pictures are perfect in that space, and they really are great pictures of each of the them. I agree that they capture who they are. Now I'd like to see your & Bob's picture with your personality interpratations. I'll be watching for that. So great to be able to keep up with you guys. Love you lots, J

Me again. What are your plans for the holidays. Any Utah trip this year? Just thought I'd check. J

I love them too. Absolutely perfect. He did a great job at capturing your beautiful kids. Oh, I love them so much, I think I will look at them again...

So, my logic in the cupcake tower is this...$2 on the Halloween clearance at Walmart! What a deal.

(There is even a toper that is not pictured. I think David threw it back in the cupboard and I haven't fetched it out yet).

Maybe there will be one on a Christmas clearance.
