Day 2-Countdown to Christmas...

Day 2 of our countdown happens to be our 10th wedding anniversary! So today is the perfect day to post a picture of my dear husband with our sweet Lily. When I found this mistletoe headband, I envisioned the most adorable picture of Lily lovingly looking at her Dad while he puckered up to give her a kiss. Clearly, Lily didn't get the memo because her expression was one of annoyance and aloofness. What are you going to do when a 7 week old won't cooperate with your photo visions?! haha. Nonetheless, I think it turned out to be a cute picture...

 Here's the original photo SOOC...

The details for the photo is as followed:
