After coercing the kids to get dressed up on a Saturday afternoon three days before Christmas, and then telling them we'd only go to Chuck E. Cheese AFTER, we took them to a nearby lake to take some Ward family pictures. I know in the past these type of endeavors were difficult. But my kids are older now and certainly getting 3 kids to smile while looking directly in the sun shouldn't be hard. I was so very, very wrong and unprepared for Elijah's lackluster photo attitude and Lanie's complete stubbornness. So after 50 shots in different places around the lake - in the grass, on steps, by a bench, in a swing, by the cactus - we ended up choosing for our 2012 Christmas card, a picture of the whole family in front of our Christmas tree (like every other year!).
But I hate to see all those efforts go to waste, so from our very cool and apparently gangster-like family to yours, we wish you a very, merry Christmas.
