Christmas Cards

Why do we put ourselves through this every year? Easily snagging good photographs at Easter, the beach, and Halloween. And then it comes time for the Christmas card and every attempt is thwarted. With every failed attempt, you think to yourself, "there's still time, we'll get it next weekend." And then the next weekend brings even more tears or even more bad weather. I think families should be required to send out a card with their best failed attempt at a photo. That way we'll get a snapshot of how everyone is really doing. Here are some of our candidates from this year:

The classic "which parent should we look at" photo

Great job Jonas! Scotlen is clearly not in the spirit

One child got into the eggnog, the other is ready to crack a skull

Our most recent effort. One was cold and grumpy. The other was cold and grumpy.

The aftermath of our most recent effort. For some reason
"comfort and joy" is not the phrase that comes to mind.
