In the spirit of the season I have decided to use the month of December to portray the Ghosts of Christmas & Hanukkah past and sometimes the "way, way past". Some are sweet, some are cranky and some are funny - but all are special to me.
This picture was in the first batch of group holiday pictures..... a reject from our first (now infamous)family Christmas card. I do not think that you can tell that all but Brent were awakened just in time for the picture. Elf hats can work wonders on bed head! Everyone was a great sport including Ellie the dog and Austin (it is hard to be cool in a pointed hat) ....even Brent was cooperative until the last shot! Although this was not the shot we used - it was my favorite! He had that great Grinch look that he was feeling from his tiny heart - actually I think he was channeling the feelings of his brother and sisters!
Our Christmas card that year was a CD compiled of family favorites. Each member got to choose two of their best-loved songs to include on the CD. I look back now and think how interesting their choices were. It took a long time to make it but it was worth the effort - it turned out great! Every time I listen to it - I remember that day and SMILE!
