Taking Pictures for Our Christmas Card

It took what seemed like months to take some great photos of the boys for our Christmas cards. What an adventure that was. There were times the boys refused to take photos and would just close their eyes or make silly faces. And it was quite the challange to get them both smiling at the same time. I would pick days for the boys to just to fun silly things explaining to them we needed to take pictures for our Christmas card. Soooo, . . . they would be fun and silly (out of control at times - kinda the norm around here) and someone would get hurt, like a bop on the nose with blood running out, making it great for a photo. Whenever I would grab a camera to take a picture of the boys while they were playing, they would see the camera and stop playing so sweetly or silly and run from the camera. I sure was sooooooo happy when I finally got some fun pictures of the boys for our Christmas card.
