Christmas Cards..

I have always admired those who can send out a Christmas card with their angelic children smiling at the camera looking perfect in their new Christmas outfits, and the parents smiling into the camera in some kind of chemically induced calm. Seriously, if there was a way I could medicate my kids (Joe included) into sitting still and smiling for the camera, I would have done it years ago.
Let me tell you, it is a nightmare to try to get all of them to sit close together and look at the camera and smile without someone getting hit, sat on, elbowed or whatever other pain they can "accidentally" inflict on each other. If by any chance they are sitting still, you can guarantee that someone has a huge booger under their nose or food under their mouth. I don't even attempt to get Joe and I in the picture because that would take us out of the crowd control position. Maybe in a couple years the world will be graced with a Rainwater family picture.
Anyway, I have some other pictures that I made a cute collage for *gasp* Christmas cards that I have actually ordered!! I even had a bit of photoshop fun with the pictures! I'm not making any promises as to when the cards will end up in various mailboxes, however, whether they arrive at Christmas time or in April, a milestone has been reached ladies and gentlemen. The Rainwater family has a Christmas card....
