Three times the merry

I know it is January 2nd, but I just now uploaded all of our Christmas pictures. Better late than never, right?

First was our Christmas with my side of the family, on Christmas eve, which produced some..umm...."interesting" pictures.

Haha, definately interesting pictrues, but it was a good time.

The next day, I learned that if I'm not available for picture taking, or instructing someone else to do it, we basically get no pictures. This is the only even remotely usable picture from our Christmas morning with the kids

I know you can't tell by this picture, but it was a great Christmas morning and the kids (and us) had lots of fun :)

For our third Christmas, my SIL was able to organize, and take our annual (semi) matching pajamas picture, outside in the 30 degree weather.

The picture turned out really good, which is quite the challenge with 19 people and 4 dogs. 

All three Christmases were great, even if most of the pictures don't show it. We have  much to be thankful for :)
