Merry Christmas

We wanted to take a photo for our Christmas letter and decided to try using the timer feature of our camera. Timed photos are always a challenge - but add a baby and pet to the mix and the results are disastrously comical.

This one could have been really cute, but for some reason the camera took it all fuzzy.
Not too bad either, but Sydney wasn't looking at the camera and Richard is covering Eric's face.
In an effort to get Sydney to look at the camera I tried shaking toys in front of her face. But I didn't get it down in time and that may have caused the overexposure.
So close...this one would have been perfect except in a effort to get me to smile Eric was making innapropriate comments* and so I'm trying really hard not to laugh which makes me look really angry. :)
In the end we ended up having to simplify the picture (sorry Richard). View the final shot in our 2009 Christmas letter.

Too funny!

I will say I am NOT surprised Eric was making inappropriate comments. Everyone knows that big brothers routinely try to cause mischief and hide all evidence. Hence, him looking innocent and you being "framed" as the one who messed up the photo. Little sisters have to put up with so much!
