Annual Cody Christmas Photos

 

Every year I love chronicling our Christmas with pictures of the kids. The Christmas tree provides a great backdrop to show just how much they’ve grown since the last year. This year I took an afternoon (after naptime) and got them dressed up. I bribed them with candy if they did well for their pictures. They did great for the individual shots but little Miss Busy Body Abigail would not cooperate for a group shot. So we did our family photos after church Sunday and with Brett to help me, it was much easier. They did surprisingly well!

Starting with my littlest elf who is very photogenic. I got the most of her, because I was the most afraid hers’ wouldn’t turn out because she’s so active!

This middle boy is always a little tricky to take pictures of because he’s 3 and he doesn’t want to do anything that he doesn’t want to do! But he did pretty good for awhile…

Look at that little face from last year:

And of course my biggest girl was all ready for her photo shoot. She knew exactly how she wanted to pose and cheesed for the camera! Looking back, though, most of the pictures of her turned out blurry. The one I was least concerned about turned out the worst!
