Merry Christmas

Last night we ventured out and had the kids Christmas pictures taken.  Seems early, but next week Larry will be in Baltimore and before you know it, Thanksgiving will be here.  So I used the kids day off from school to torture them with family photos.

Thankfully this was the first of many pictures our photographer took.

Ruby was actually real cooperative until that flash went off.

Here is Ruby leaving the scene.  She just would not sit

for pictures after that flash scared her in the first few.

What did I tell you?  No Ruby in sight.

Can you see the blank spot where she should be.

Here are some fun shots of the boys.

Xander has grown quite a bit taller than Larry

so he had to be on the bottom for everything.

Poor Larry in the photo below.  He was beet red

because Ethan jumped right on top of him.

That is why we settled on a different tone.

My girls were trying to do the same pose.

Ruby actually loved this, but she would not

let Savannah look up.  She was such an

evil child last night.

Once we got rid of the other children, Ruby 

enjoyed her pictures quite a bit.  She loved seeing

herself on the screen and sitting alone on the

back drop.

Here is my little Ethan.  He fell and skinned his

nose last friday after trick or treating.

No family photo would be perfect without a 

facial blemish or two.

Here is the beautiful Bella.

Hard to believe this child would

not pose with the group!

She is such a prima-donna.

This is my favorite picture of her.

Don't you just love my $12 find.

I got it at Ross.

I hope everyone else has much more successful attempts at the family Christmas photos.
