Brothers Christmas Pictures 2014

Noah (6), Jackson (4)

We usually take our Christmas pictures outside, but this year we had an unexpected cold front come through, and it was WAY too cold outside to take pictures...so at the last minute, we decided to take pictures inside at our house.  I tried to set up a cozy Christmas setting and thought that if nothing else...I could have the boys jump on the bed and surely they'd smile for that. Rose Bailey (http://rosebaileyphotosprinting.com) was an absolute saint to put up with my boys...as they were particularly challenging!! But the idea of jumping on the bed was perfect.  We threw in some red feathers and pom pom balls, and they had a ball.
Christmas Pictures 2014- DONE.  There's a special kind of relief that comes from having the dreaded Christmas pictures complete!

My Christmas Loves

A few Christmas pictures of my 3 Christmas Loves

This picture took what felt like FOREVER to capture.  The boys were not in their best form.  One would complain, then the other. And then there's the issue of safety! (Don't worry...Mommy is hidden behind baby Annemarie making sure she's safe!) For all the hell it is to take Christmas pictures, Rose Bailey (of Rose Bailey Photography) was absolutely amazing and patient until we got the shot.  And I can't believe Annemarie opened her eyes, but she did! And the picture is priceless.
