christmas card photo shoot, take 1

ok, so how is it that having the cutest kids in the world and the greatest camera in the world don't add up to the best christmas card ever?
they are all soooo close. and yet, not quite right...

someone is missing... and someone is chewing on a choking hazard...

someone isn't looking at the camera...

no one is looking at the camera....

camera is not in focus.... (darn it!)

ok, we're done. . .

Merry Christmas.
