The Christmas Outtake

Oh the Christmas season has come and gone just like that but the below picture still just makes me laugh! It was the Sunday before Christmas and since our church decided not to hold services on Christmas Day we were dressed in our Christmas outfits. For me that was a pair of non-maternity pants I could still squeeze into and a pair that matched a black sweater! Chris was instructed to wear something that blended with black and matched Simon's vest since (let's be honest) Simon was the only one who was bought an article of clothing for Christmas!!

We got home from church and I made clear instructions to head directly to the living room so I could set up the camera and get our photo in front of our (gaudy) tree. (Do you see those BIG TACKY COLORED BULBS?!!!) Anyway, the dog was not really invited into the picture but he still thinks he's a vital part of the family so at the last second decided to join in! The camera clicked at the funniest moment and Simon's expression fully describes how he feels about Bernie being that close to his face (without Simon initiating)! CLASSIC.

Glad we got a few pics of our last Christmas as a family of 3...yes, I got emotional about this! But I got emotional two years ago when it was my last Christmas with just Chris and I! They just keep getting better!
