Remember the holiday pictures Avery and Nolan took at school the other week? Well, we had a do-over at our house over Thanksgiving weekend in an effort to put together a holiday card.
If I had paid actual money to get these pictures taken, I think I would have shed a tear. Our son was as squirrely as all get out and had to literally be chased around the room. Here are some Nolan highlights:

Avery, on the other hand, took sheer delight in being “the good one” and really went over the top for the camera. Like, WAAAY over the top.

All in all, not half bad for a job I did myself.
And I love that See See made the card this year.
Happy Holidays to you all!
