This afternoon we tried to take some Christmas 2008 pictures as a family. The problem was that we had no one to take the picture, so we were trying to get a perfect picture by ourselves (right background, right placement, right Vivian smile...), by setting up the camera with the timer. What were we thinking? It was a fiasco! But we did get some good pictures of the baby by herself. Here are some outtakes of our Christmas photos:HA! I just noticed how bloodshot Aaron's eyes are...he had just woken up from a nap. Everything about the situation went wrong. Vivian spit up on her dress and my sweater, for example (and after the photo shoot pooped down her tights and up her shirt).

What a helpful, patient husband and dad! And handsome, too! :)

"Mom, I'm getting tired of this! What are you doing to me?" (I fixed her up, went behind the camera to make her smile, Aaron snapped the picture, it wasn't good, I went back to fix her again and start the whole process over again for many times)"Well, maybe this is kinda fun..."

Merry Christmas!
