Anyone who thinks it's easy to take a Christmas picture of children, obviously doesn't have any. With only two weeks left until Christmas, I decided to get my cards ordered, but of course I had to take the picture first. My children and I only had patience for about thirty pictures, which requires a lot of yelling on my part, but we managed to get three that had potential and that was like winning the lottery of picture taking for me. Here are some of the lovely options that didn't make the cut and a few examples of why I have so many gray hairs.

Super cute! I love the pic you ended up with - it's worth it in the end! I put my kids through the same torture every year. It gets exponentially harder as you add children - don't you think?? Merry Christmas!
