So if you normally receive a Christmas card from us, you weren't cut from the list. I just didn't send any :-)
I intended to, but there never seemed to be a time to get all NINE of us dressed and ready for a family photo (well, we did manage to get dressed, just not for a picture) before Christmas. Between bringing Eli home 7 weeks ago, Thanksgiving, Nick's and my brother's birthday, a family ginger bread decorating party, 3 baseball tournaments, doctors appointments (and lets not forget stool samples--my favorite!) trying to resume some semblance of school around here, Advent, preparing for Christmas and doing all the regular stuff......well, it just didn't happen.
But, if I would have had it all together, it would have looked something like this:
 |
| Not bad--this was our second attempt (not second picture-second time we tried to get the one and only thing I wanted on our vacation--a family picture-is that too much to ask for-I may or may not have lectured.....). |
 |
| Eli trying to escape. |
 |
| Nick, Caroline and Colton looking a little bored... |
 |
| Eli says, "No more pictures mom." |
 |
| What it was really like. |
 |
And the best we're going to get.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from our family to yours!!! |
It's beautiful. Happy New Year!
ReplyDelete"I may or may not have lectured." I love it! I don't think we got any complete family shots at all the last couple months. Roddy was in some or I was in some but not together. I think I might be working on that this Sunday.
