A Christmas Photo Miracle

The traveler came home and I said, "we have to get the Christmas card picture." There was a reluctant reply of "okay." So I put the Cardi Christmas collars on--Shaker quickly adapted to his, Russ is always up for anything showy, and Music said she would wear the darn thing if I promised that she didn't have to wear it ever again.

I conceded to Music's demands, and gathered my crew in front of the Christmas tree. I got them all to sit and said stay and then backed up into the chair. Then I heard "Kim your in the light"...dang everybody got up. Okay repeat the sits and stay---every one stayed and I showed a treat and the traveler clicked. Believe it or not this was the first picture taken.

It will ultimately be our Christmas card picture and it is officially my second favorite Christmas card picture of all time. (It is voted second only to the picture taken of our son when he was 3 and we put him on the back of a pumpkin wagon. He thought it was a hoot and was bent over laughing at the moment the picture was taken. Hands down that one is my favorite, but this one is a close second!)
