Christmas Card Fun!

Every year since my oldest was born, I take pictures of the kids and have them printed on Christmas cards.  Each year as I add children to our family and they become more mobile, it becomes increasingly difficult.  This year I worked on the portrait over the span of 2 days...enough said!  I probably took over 50 pictures and in each one at least one of the boys was crying, blinking, picking his nose, hitting his brother, etc. I finally gave up and settled for the above picture, the one below is an example of a reject!  I have a whole new respect for professional photographers!
