Christmas Family Picture

I thought I write a little post about our new family picture! I am realizing that it is getting harder and harder to take CUTE family pictures - with everyone smiling! First THANKS to Val my sister-in-law for taking our picture she is always game for it! And since I ask a couple of times a year she is used to it and still hasn't charged me yet! So I got this crazy idea Thanksgiving night on our way home from Pinehurst at like 8pm - we should do our family picture in our pajamas! I knew I had wanted to do it in front of my mother-in-laws new fireplace but not sure what everyone was going to wear and it seems like dressy clothes this time of year only come in certain colors and I hate it! I love the other colors, blue and silver and brown and purple but no there is red and black and green! So I thought how cute would it be if we read a Santa book while she just snapped some photos so here is one and she is going to get me a CD of all of the pictures so I might put more up and of course I had to put this one up of Reese!!

I found a santa hat and onesie that said, My First Christmas, from the $1 bin @ Target, and she is actually smiling - in all the others she was mad and crying!

What a cute idea! I'm very impressed with how everyone is looking at the camera and happy. We just got family pictures and barely had one like that with only two kids!

cute pictures! I like the pajama idea-easy, informal, less expensive and you can have messy hair and it totally goes with the outfit!!

The nails are cement nails. They are square and we drilled a hole and then pounded them in! Alise, my sister, did her board green. It's fun to have up...now to get to the other x-mas decorations up!!
