I was working on our Christmas letter tonight and started having flashbacks to last year's drama of taking the Christmas card photo. Not only was I trying to coordinate two boys, but the dog kept interfering. I briefly considered including him, until he started running around the yard like a maniac (followed by my feeling like a maniac for trying to coordinate two toddlers and a dog using a digital camera).
Two days, four photo sessions, and something like 200 images later, I finally got the shot. Some of the reject photos were so silly I actually put together a two page spread in our family album entitled "The Anatomy of a Christmas Card" in which I commemorated the "best of the worst" photos.

What is it about the maternal side of this family that thinks you can take posed pictures of dogs?
Hmm...I guess it's in the genes, but the trait is weakening...because I relented. Can't tell you how many Christmas pictures we took with my parents with the dogs facing us rather than the camera.
