Since I was taking my friend’s family pictures at a cottage nearby, I figured I would bring my gang in hopes to get a Christmas card shot.

Getting everyone to look at the camera is the hardest part…my kids smile automatically, but their eyes just wonder around while they hold their smile. And for some reason I thought it would be a great idea to add our Harley Marley into the mix, so getting him to look as well was another challenge. Believe it or not, he is always the best behaved out of everyone.

All in all, I think we have some good ones, and our Christmas card winner. One of my favorites is my girls playing with the oversized checkers set. I love the random ones the best :)
