November 25. That's how long I have been holding, however impatiently, this photo. It is the annual Christmas card photo, and for once, I LOVE it! Three mostly smiling boys. Sawyer's "smile" might be stretching it a little, but it's that look of wonder and happiness that I love to see on his face. Xander and Connor are cheesing, but that's okay, too. Three happy boys who cooperated and gave me a Christmas card worthy photo in a matter of minutes.
It's amazing what a nearly a year of preschool has done for the twins ability to listen and cooperate, albeit briefly. Last year, we attempted to get a single usable (or Photoshop-able) group portrait for over an hour on three different tries. This year, 10 minutes tops.
Points if you know who had to be edited in (hello, Photoshop) this year.
