a challenge

... well ... soon to arrive in many of your hands in some way or another will be our yearly Christmas picture that features our kids (and this year ... us - the parents)...

I'm entitling this post "a challenge" because what used to be a very simple process of getting 1, 2, or 3 of the kids smiling and looking acceptable has quickly become a ordeal that takes time and patience so that we could get all seven of us looking acceptable for a picture that we felt we could send out ...

It's one of those challenges that has become a tradition ... one that the kids have been looking forward to doing, yet when in the midst of it, couldn't wait to be done with it ...

... I love it ... one of those family moments that we'll remember forever ... and we've got tons of pictures to prove it ....

... Here's a picture that sort of sums up one moment of the process that didn't make the final cut ... LOVE IT!!
