The makings of the perfect Christmas card picture.

Since Mike & I got married we have sent out a Christmas card every year. I love getting Christmas cards in the mail from our friends and family and I hope to share that joy by sending them. The "perfect" picture, before Noah entered the world, revolved around how my hair looked. Here are some of our pictures from the past...

Well a baby changes everything! Our goal is to have 1 picture that Noah is smiling and that we are all looking in the same direction. Here are some of our failed attempts this year-

Why do I need to hold Noah's shoe? Who knows!

This picture is wrong on so many different levels, what are we looking at, what is going on with my mouth, why are we grasping Noah's knee....

Luckily we had a talented and patient photographer (thank you Darryn) and we got lots of great pictures.

And here is the finalist, the one that made it to the card




We wish you a very, merry Christmas!!
