How are we already a few days from Christmas?! Time really does fly! As I make all our final preparations before heading home for the holidays, I thought I’d leave you all with a with a little something to get you in the holiday spirit before I check out for the holidays. How many tries does it take to get a single decent Christmas card photo with two dogs? Well you’re about to find out! Enjoy our Christmas card photo outtakes!  Basically the dogs wanted to look anywhere except for the camera. Now Henry’s getting bored. And Charlotte’s getting antsy.  And doesn’t want to sit still. This was her way of protesting. While Henry gives us his best ‘look how good I’m doing, mom!’ Now Henry’s just laughing at us. Test model extraordinaire. Just trying not to murder our dogs now.  Ok, that’s a wrap! And here’s the winner!  Then my whole family came over for the family photo. You’d think people would be easier to control than dogs. Wrong. Then we began fighting over who had the best angle for the remote. Peter was determined to get it to work! Then my mom had the idea to have each of the kids wear or hold something that has to do with their jobs or hobbies. Mary was the equivalent of Charlotte in that she couldn’t sit still for long.  Then things got weird. But eventually we got a winner!

Happy Holidays from our family to yours!!
