the elusive christmas photo.

Why? Why are these always so hard to get?

We all dressed up nice for Thanksgiving day and headed to my in-law’s for a delicious meal. I thought it might also be a good time to get a family snapshot, since my mother-in-law is a fantastic photographer. Well, it turned out to be a rainy day so I kinda gave up on the idea. But my mother-in-law offered to take some snapshots of us just before we left. Joshua was in his jammy pants and Katie was exhausted (I think it was only 6:30 p.m.!), but we gave it a go anyway. Here are the results:

Take 1:

Take 2:

Take 3:

Take 4:

Take 5:

I dunno, I’d say we go with #5 here. It’s my personal favorite. Except you can’t see Joshua’s face…

I think we might try again. Or maybe just go with a photo of just the kids?

Scrapping a photocard early in December has been one of my goals for this Christmas ever since last year when I only sent out 10 of them to far away friends. I hope I can pull it off…
