A Quick Photo Shoot

I told my boys they couldn't have supper until they came outside with me to have their photos done. I know, it's torture around here some times. I bought them all matching brown thermal shirts a couple weeks ago knowing that I wanted to do this in anticipation of our annual Christmas card. Although, B kept telling it was FAR too early to be doing this & if it was a Christmas card, why didn't we take it then? Okay then - get moving! I think that was my response.

We have a huge maple tree right outside our trailer. My boys love playing under it. Most of its leaves are now on the ground. Earlier in the day the boys had raked up a huge pile so I took advantage of that for my photos.

In birth order from youngest to oldest.....

I'm absolutely thrilled that J has my blue eyes.

N is just being silly. I did take almost a whole roll

with my film camera so I hope I have a more normal

smile on there somewhere. ;-)

And my oldest - who still allows me to dress him like his

brothers on occasions like this. I'm not sure how

much longer it will last. He's mere inches from being

taller than I - a fact he checks almost daily.
