{Oh, Christmas Tree}

Christmas is around the corner.  Here is our little darling about the open presents a few days early this year... She won't remember presents were unwrapped early and use this for leverage for years to come. Right?

We want to capture every magical moment, especially when it's baby's first Christmas. But let's face it: lighting can me a nightmare! I found these tips very helpful for snapping pics in front of the tree:

{Free Printable Owl Calendar}

If you are NOT like me and you have plenty of ink in your printer, then all those adorable free printables out there are right up your alley!

I stumbled upon the most darling free printable calendar in an owl motif while on Pinterest. Now is the perfect time to get a calendar because the new year is approaching. This would be perfect in a home office or in the kids' room! The link below gives a couple of great display ideas since the calendar is loose-leaf, or you could take it to Staples and have them bind it with a spiral.

I'm thinking that if the Mr. could get the printer loaded, then this would make a great Christmas present for the little one!
