Merry Christmas!

  I had to post some outtakes from our family photo shoot-done with a tripod, a camera, and a remote. It was an adventure... but we've done it every year and ended up with a great Christmas card, so surely we could do it with one extra kid, right?

yeah....right.

I couldn't help laughing when I saw this one. I like to call it, "The Secret Hand".

 Pax's face reminds me sooooo much a certain middle-sister cousin whose photos I'm working on right now...






....and here, you can see what happens when Mama tries to be IN the picture and big brother finds the bribery just-smile-and-look-nice M&Ms. At least he's sharing...

..but this one takes the cake. My favorite by far. "Hey, Sis, you've got something in your eye!!"
