Photo shoot outtakes

I have been battling a SEVERE cold for the past week, but I managed to put on a happy face on Friday, and drag the hubs along for our 2011 Christmas Card photo :)  We got several cute shots, and I am excited to see how our card turns out!  We took them at a local "pop-up" Christmas tree farm, and I think it was a great backdrop with all the pretty trees everywhere. Thanks to Russell and Katie for taking the pics!

Here are some outtakes....

he does NOT want to catch my cold ;)

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!  I still have to post on our Thanksgiving..sheeesh, I'm slackin.

Green with Envy

How gorgeous is Zoe Saldana in this kelly green Ellie Saab dress?  I think she is SUCH a style icon, and one of my favorite actresses.

This shade of green is the perfect choice for holiday parties, and with her dark hair and flawless skin, she looks absolutely stunning.

What do you think of her look??

Christmas Movies

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, it's time to bust out the Christmas movies!  I love watching all my favorite ones leading up until Christmas Day.  And I've got quite a few that are on my list :)  It always starts with "A Christmas Story" on the day after Thanksgiving, and I think TBS runs it continuously until Christmas, so you can't miss it!  And it never gets old.  

And neither do these classics.....

Did I miss any of your favorites?  Do you have a Christmas movie that you HAVE to watch during the holidays or a particular one that you traditionally watch with your family on Christmas day?
