Christmas pictures that didn't make the cut

We had professional photos done this year for Christmas. Abby was sick that day, and Gavin had just got up from a nap. The first few photos were hilarious...especially in person. The lady they had helping with the photos had the most shockingly high voice I have ever heard. The kids at first just had this horrified look on their faces.

Here is one example-I was laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my cheeks.

Day after Christmas we all spent the evening at Nanny Papa's house again, and had dinner with Tiffany & Andy and their boys.
