Christmas Kid Pictures

I wanted to try and take some cute pictures of my kids on Christmas eve in their Christmas church outfits.  It was just as challenged as I expected it to be.  I ended up not getting a very good group photo but I at least got a good one of each kid.  I love getting to dress my kids up for the holidays and I think they all look so nice in their dress clothes!  Even though the pictures didn't come out as well as I hoped I think they are an accurate representation of my kids and what life is like with them.

These were the best group shots we could get...

My boys have the sweetest smiles when they choose to show them.

This girl didn't smile very much but looks completely adorable anyways!

Here are some more of the pictures we took while trying to get a good one.

Anders kept wanting to eat his treat (how I bribed him to take pictures) and Alden kept wanting to talk.

And then they started getting distracted.

I couldn't help but laugh at these faces....sometimes his smiles are just cheesy or creepy.

Alden really his a sweet boy, he just doesn't really have the patience for pictures.

Eliza wanted to look everywhere but at the camera.

Then we put her on the grass and she was trying to figure out what it was.

She was fascinated and just wanted to play with the grass.

I honestly consider it a success for pictures that she was just content and happy the whole time.  There was no crying!

She is such a sweet little girl and I love seeing her discover new things and adore all her expressions, even if I wish she had smiled once.
