The Many faces of Joy


A couple of years ago my brother surrounded his Christmas card picture with the many different faces of his kids taken from all the attempts at getting the perfect Christmas card picture. I guess pictures never fool anybody. We put on our best clothes, take about a hundred shots, and then we pick the best one. Is that really a good representation of us? We know that the smiling faces in the pictures are generally screaming of boredom and frustration on the inside. What is it about a Christmas card picture that is trying to display our best that brings out our worst. For us, we have already taken several hundred picks and we may even try again. Anyways, I put together some of my kids faces from our first round of pictures. Enjoy!

Maybe you should come up with a creative idea for bringing out each personality for this years photo. Maybe it should be a collage of sorts ~ whatever it is we look forward to displaying it on our fridge!
