Christmas Card Pictures

Claire had been screaming for about 20 pictures.  This is the
closest I got to getting her smiling all afternoon.
Obviously, this won't be on our Christmas card.
Yesterday afternoon, we made an attempt to take pictures for our Christmas card.  (Yes, Emily has chosen this years Christmas cards already.)  We took the kids over to the ruins of a nearby abbey.  It's one of my favorite places in Belgium.  The setting was great.  Emily had chosen coordinating outfits.  (Yes, Isaac and I were both embarassed about that).  First, I realized that part of the tripod had been left attached to my video camera, so I had to position my camera on a rock.  Then, Claire decided that she wasn't interested in any part of the process.  In over 300 photos, only two were even worth considering. Isaac actually did ok.  Claire would screem and get up.  Without fail, as she walked off she would look at me and smile.  I physically felt my blood pressure going up.
