Our Holiday Pictures

We had an appointment to get family pictures done last weekend.  After last year when I waited until the week before Christmas I promised Colin that next year (being now) we would do them before Thanksgiving.  It was horrible!  The picture place was packed and we were there for almost 3 hours.  Our appointment was for Sunday morning at 9:50, I thought that would be early enough they wouldn't be too far behind yet.......I was wrong.  We got there a few minutes early and after about 10 minutes they called a family that had a 9:10 appointment, so they were running a little further behind than the 20 minutes they told me 5 minutes before that.  We decided to leave, there is no way we would be any decent pictures of the girls if they had to sit around waiting for an hour, or Colin for that matter.  We went straight over to Best Buy and bought a new camera.  The camera that I've wanted since our picture nightmare a year ago.  The camera we will use for quite some time to come to take pictures of our family ourselves so that Colin does not have to return to that other picture place ever again.  We got a Canon Rebel T1i digital SLR and even though I am only up to page 41 in the manual I LOVE it.
