Christmas Cards

As I was trying to come up with a picture for our Christmas card I found that we did not have any of the whole family that I liked from the whole year. So I thought I will take some pictures of the kids. We all know that is easier said then done. First trying to get Ryan to LOOK at the camera is a chore in its self. Then trying to get my point and shoot camera to focus on the kids and not the lights on the tree was another. So out of the first group of pictures the one's that I liked were blurry. I just about gave up and was not going to do a Christmas card. Then Sunday came and we had the kids all dressed up nice for church and we thought we would try again. This time Steve was home and able to help. We still had the same problems, Ryan not looking and blurry pictures. But I think this time we got one. This is one of those things that stresses me out! But I love receiving Christmas cards so I figure if I want to get them I need to send them.

Lights

I love this time of year and all the fun things there is to do. I do have to say sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed with all there is to do. We took the kids to Temple square last week and had a fun time looking at all the pretty lights and nativities there.

Everyone was trying to take pictures by this tree so we thought we would give it a try. This is the best of the pictures we took. Can't see the lights and Jakob has a branch in his face!
