Christmas Pics by Barenaked Ladies 
Ahhhh, we just finished our Christmas pics for this year.  My
husband and I have a blended family. He has 2 kids from a
previous marriage and I have one son.  One of the things that we
wanted to do from day one was start traditions.  Some are
traditions that I had already established with my son, some
he had started with his kids and some are brand new!  One of the
things that we started doing about 3 years ago was taking
pictures of the 5 of us for our Christmas cards.  


2004 we stood in front
of the Christmas tree with
shirts bought from Old Navy.  
It was a pretty good picture
except for the fact that the
youngest looks taller
than everyone else, and
it looks like hehas an angel
sitting on his head.








Last year, we all sat
in front of the fire place,
the kids wearing red
and the grown-ups wearing
green.  We actually went
with a picture that was taken
when no one was really posing,
it just seemed like a picture
that really showed our
personalities.






This year we forewent the shirts from Old Navy and went back to basics,
white button down shirts with white shirts underneath and jeans.  We
even tried to bring in the dogs this year but unfortunately they kept
staring at us (go figure) instead of the camera.  

When we finally
have the perfect
picture (or as close
as we can get) we
then get to take a few
goofy pictures.





I will probably regret posting this one!
