Dec. 2009 Pics

Matthew playing in the snow we got at the beginning of December. He was pretending the trampoline was an ice rink.

Why is it so hard to get a good Christmas picture? This was our first attempt and it would have been an acceptable one except for the sunlight coming in on my head. (Could have said it was my halo! lol) Some photographer, huh... (actually, we used a tri-pod and took them ourselves just like last year). Well, we took a ton more just to get one pose where everyone was looking okay. The boys decided they hate taking Christmas pictures at home! Mark and I decided it might be worth paying the money to go to a studio. But we ALL agree that we've had some memorable Christmas picture moments that I'm sure we'll laugh about in the years to come.

I wonder when they're going to quit letting us dress them alike.
Michael's new Hallmark ornament this year was "Indiana Jones" and it plays the theme music. Our tree sounds like an Indiana Jones movie...he pushes that button practically every 5 minutes!
Matthew got a Snoopy and Woodstock ornament set. Snoopy is playing the guitar and Woodstock is sitting on an amplifier. It also has music, but Matthew is not quite as bad with the button pushing.
