Well, we didn't have time this year to do a Christmas photo, which is really disappointing because it is always so much fun to get everyone dressed and then make them smile and not fight and not look away and not pick their noses.
So instead I pulled out one of my favorite Christmas pictures from years gone by (four? five?). It was a beautiful October day, and we were at the arboretum taking pictures. Many pictures, as you can tell if you look closely at our tired-of-smiling faces. Eric isn't even pretending anymore.
Anyway, it's fun to see how cute those little boys were and remember what a beautiful day it was. This was taken with my old SLR, way before we had digital capabilities in our family. So the scanned image is not as rich in color or sharp in detail as the original, but you get the idea.
The series of photos from that day also include some of the boys throwing leaves up into the air, and being overcome with giggles and joy at that small act. Remember when they did that? Now this complete joy comes around less frequently. So it's good to revisit it once in a while.
Merry (belated) Christmas to you!
