An Attempt at this years Family Christmas Picture !

I put a lot of effort into this each year.  Thinking about what we’ll all wear, then going out to shop for it.  This year we set our tree up the day after Thanksgiving because my dad was in town, so I thought we’d take advantage of him and make him take some pictures of us with hope one would work for this years Christmas card.

Here’s what we ended up with :

It seems I have no sense of “timing” .  Emma was over it before I even got her hair brushed , Andrew was pissed at his argyle sweater and Josh was annoyed at the kids for being annoyed with the process.  Me ~ well, I’m a mom. So I had no trouble ignoring them all !  Yep, that’s a smile that says Merry &  Bright.

Because my own mom was cursed with a syndrome I like to call ” The Little Miss Sunshine Disease”,  she failed to see the humor in this photo.  “The kids aren’t smiling”.  Which in her mind = happiness.  And because I still fall for her MIND TRAPS, I took them to the  mall and they took this :

I was a little sad that one of them wasn’t freaked out and crying !  I LOVE those pictures.  But this is cute too !!

And because I’m taking the time to actually write in my blog, here’s a pic of the kids from last year …  look how tiny Andrew was:

Amazing the difference a year can make :)

Merry Christmas !
