Merry Christmas!

Before I was a mom, I had always thought annual Christmas card pictures with the whole family would be such a good idea and fun keepsake through the years. Well here we are in our 6th Christmas with kids and we have accomplished our second ever all-family Christmas card picture. (Oh and yes, last year's was actually taken at the beach back in August so that really may not count, but that's beside the point!) Here are some shots from the process a couple of weeks ago:




Five people (3 of whom are 5 and under) looking picture worthy in the same shot is not such an easy feat. In reality, all 5 of us joyful in the same moment can be a feat at times...but that's a whole different post!

And because we love a challenge, we added sweet little Greer to the crazy Baker crew and attempted a cousin shot. Here are our results:

This last one is my personal favorite! The girls are falling, Cal's finally decided pictures are fun and Will is all pictured-out. Nothing like a candid shot!
Merry Christmas from the Baker Family!

I feel your pain. I took pictures of the kids sleeping this year - easiest shot I ever got. They didn't even flinch at the flash! Hadn't checked your site in a long time. Everybody looks wonderful! Merry Christmas to you and your family. We will be praying for strength for Michael's Mom as she takes on this tough battle. Have a wonderful season and Happy New Year!!!
