We went back to see the reindeer at the Bothell Country Village again this year. I got to take Ellie there last year on a random day off so I took both girls this year. She lasted about 30 seconds and then wanted to look for Santa, but we didn’t find him for some reason. She always thinks she wants to see him, but is terrified when it comes to sitting on his lap. While we didn’t spend much time with Santa’s reindeer, it’s always nice to wander around there and check things out.
I often have to choose between getting the moment or creating a perfect picture that doesn’t involve a messy background. My house never seems to be clean or free of clutter (#becausekids) so I always choose the moment as I know they are fleeting with little ones, especially because she was going up for her nap. When that rare fall/winter PNW sun comes streaming through the window, you just take the shot. So here you go… sweet little Lila, some pretty light and her sister’s forever-messy room.
Always taking her socks off and eating them…
