We went to Target today (not the one we work at, sadly we do not have a portrait studio) and got Delaney's 2 year pictures done. Even though her birthday isn't for 3 weeks, I am cheap and wanted them in time to send out with Christmas cards! I will give you the preview once my online order is up, but from what we saw on the order screen, the pictures are amazing!! I highly recommend Target portrait studios for your picture occasions. The photographer we had was wonderful, and she even managed to get some great shots of a 2 year old that didn't want to sit on the stool, didn't want to lay on the ground, didn't want to stand on the dot, and had to hug mommy or daddy in between every picture. I am really excited to share them once they come in, and the turn around time is great -- they will be ready on Friday!
We then came home, changed clothes and went to my parents to get some pictures taken for family pictures in Christmas cards this year.
And on top of all that, because we will be working the entire weekend after Thanksgiving, we put up the Christmas tree yesterday.

Christmas Time!
Decided it was time for a quick update for the holidays on the blog layout...nothing too fancy, just threw together some candy canes to make things feel a little more festive!

Sea World Halloween Spooktacular!
I considered backdating this entry a little closer to when we actually attended Sea World's Spooktacular, but I doubt I'll have time for more than 1 update tonight, and then it won't really matter!
Back on October 18th, we used our Sea World passes to go to Sea World's Halloween Spooktacular. I'd never been before, but definetely a cool event, if not just a little overcrowded. Basically, Sea World gets different companies to sponsor the event, Sea World employees dress up like crazy sea characters, others hand out candy to trick' or 'treaters, everyone has fun. We did the TOT'ing route (Sea World has a special map pointing out candy spots) and then got to see the Shamu show, I don't think we did anything else. Delaney was in need of a nap, and I was getting tired too! Pics from the day:
Ready to trick or treat!
In the bubble area with my mom
Checking out some of the pumpkin fish decorations
Not a big fan of the school of fish
Or the catfish & dogfish
She actually seemed to really like the mermaid, and even looked up and talked to her at one point
Umm...where did Delaney go??
There she is!
She wasn't sure how she felt about the butterfly...I'm not sure how I felt either. I mean, why was she hanging out with the guy carrying a butterfly net??
More fishy pumpkins
We rode a dolphin on the carousel
Contrary to the look on her face, she did enjoy it
Delaney really liked Shamu and even asked to hug him after we had walked away
And we got to check out a bald eagle on our way out of the park.
All in all, not a bad day.
