It's been cleaned up a little for the blog (our family name has been removed). But otherwise, this is our Christmas card. It was the first time in several years that it did not involve PhotoShop magic to make everyone smile. Of course, it was also one of many, many, MANY attempts for a photo.
This is the one that I wanted to use. It was a more accurate representation, trust me.
It was the closing photo on the back of the card. Nothing says happy holidays like screaming children, right? Sawyer was not having the photo session this year. Xander was fine until Sawyer started screaming, then he joined in to support his brother. Connor was just over it, as you can tell from his half-smile.
Good times.
Despite the Christmas card photo, we had a good holiday. Several celebrations with several different branches of the family. Early Christmas at the lake with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Brian, and Cousins Austin and Kyndal. Holiday celebrations at school. Christmas Eve brunch with an extended side of Josh's family. Christmas Eve with Grammy's side of the family. And Christmas Day at home with our little family (after Daddy got off his half-shift at work). And then we left for our winter beach vacation.
Busy times. But good ones. Well, for the most part. Sawyer doesn't want to talk about the Christmas card photo session.
