After bribing (lunch at our favorite cafe, helping to put away their laundry) and threatening (Santa keeps receipts you know! He can always take stuff back!), I think we have a keeper for the annual Christmas pic.

When the girls were little I used to go to studios and have “professional” pictures taken. That stopped when Zoe was about two and screamed for an hour and I ended up sitting in the picture (trust me, I was not looking anywhere near lovley enough to have a photo taken.. I’m thinking I had on sweat pants…) and we couldn’t get a refund. Since then I just stick them under the tree and attempt to get them to sit still and be nice to each other long enough to take a pic.

So, Christmas pic 2007 done! Off to make dough for cookies. I have decided to only go with four kinds instead of five after hearing from my darling husband and mother that I am crazy.
