Christmas card photo session number 2 and a proud mommy

If you do not like proud mommy posts, you might not want to read this.  It will be unabashed mommy gushing.  Allright, you’ve been warned!  ;0)

So we tried again to get our Christmas card photo after our last fiasco.  I wanted an outside shot so we waited a few days for the rain to pass.  We finally had a sunshiny day, and I told the kids to get dressed in Christmas colored clothes.  We headed outside and man, it was cold. But the kids were troopers and let me take their pictures.  We just went really, really fast! 

We still did not get a group shot but we did get some great shots.  (ok, commence mommy gushing here…)

~ Apologies for the over abundance of photos.  I had trouble choosing which ones not to share.~

My handsome sons…

(You may notice that The Baby does not like to be held in one place or tied down.  This makes diaper changing a lot of fun and I’ve gotten quite creative with my contortionist son.)

What we usually saw of The Baby:

However, I was able to get this:

My beautiful daughters…

Still trying to get that group shot:

I think with five kids, the group shot may be a thing of the past!

So there’s my proud mommy post.  I think I have five handsome/beautiful, wonderfully great kids.
