Back on a chilly November afternoon in 2006 when I decided to sit my young children on a white sheet for Christmas pictures, I never imagined it would become what it is now two years later: multiple sets of white sheeted pictures.
Okay so it isn't that big of a deal. But fun, nonetheless. No?
Heh.
So in the interest of this gem from last year, all about the golden bell wreath, which somehow becomes Jackson's only happiness--
I give you this.
Totally on our Christmas card.
Totally not on our Christmas card.
Hates the Holiday picture tradition, for the record. And is so NOT ashamed to say so.
Therefore, I bring you?
Bribery! Yet another Holiday photo tradition!
It's a Christmas Picture Tootsie Roll Party!
Baby's first Tootsie Roll, for the record.
Also being the third child, is totally cool with eating through the wrapper first.
So now we return to our very natural state
and slow down just for a second to finally wish our family and friends a Merry Christmas.
You people drive me to drink.
But keep those Tootsie Rolls comin, eh?
=) I love these pictures! YES!

I love them too! You have such beautiful children. Hoping to get some decorating done today. Thinking of you and wishing all the Rays a Merry Christmas. Much love to you.

If I were you I would totally blow up that picture of Jackson and hang it prominently.
We rocked the bribary for our holiday cards too, with much better results than the old-fashioned threatening that I grew up with :)...
Beautiful family!

Very sweet pictures. I totally used my facebook profile pic because I just didn't have the energy or enough candy to deal with taking any this year. I can't believe how big Marin is. She looked like a little girl instead of a baby with her dress on, walking around the kitchen!

I sort of live for your white sheet Christmas photo shoots.

OH I love your kids. They are just SO BEAUTIFUL and loving and good-natured (it's true. I can see it in the pictures). SO CUTE I would smooch them all if I ever got my hands on them!!

Marin is GORGEOUS. I love the one of her enormous eyes! Gotta love Christmas card picture time though.
