Oh, the annual Christmas card. You buy the pajamas WAY in advance. You set up the Christmas decorations in early November in anticipation of the first photo session not going just right. You get yourself psyched up. You get the kids dressed and bring out the props. You try your very best to get the kids to cooperate. Invariably, you end up in tears.
Here's the very first attempt. Not bad, but maybe we can get one of them looking at the camera?
Is it even possible to get a four year old to smile normally for a picture?
Maybe a change of venue will do the trick.
Or not.
Here they pause to get the fur out of their mouths (this is Sherwood's chair).

Let's try upstairs by the tree. That sounds like a good idea, right?
Even the dog is frustrated.
Usually I'm the first one to cry.
And the winner is....(note this is NOT in the pajamas and is, in fact, taken one morning before school. Not fantastic, but hell, we got it done).
Maybe next year I should leave it up to the professionals. Or start trying in July.
We hope everyone's Christmas was merry and 2010 brings you everything you're wishing for.
