An attempt at a *cute* Christmas card photo...

 I took these pics at the end of October when we were visiting Jut's folks.  Their yard had a tremendous amount of beautiful fallen leaves and my mind I thought, "Great photo opportunity!"  I really wanted a cute pic of the kids in all the fall leaves.  I thought it would make a nice picture to send out in our Christmas cards...Instead, I captured this...

 

E has quite the face...not really a *cute* pic though...

 

X studying the leaves and bushes...interesting, but not what I had in mind...

 

X really didn't enjoy the multitudes of leaves...it was too difficult for him to walk (and he didn't have any shoes on because Jut forgot to put any on his feet before we left and I didn't pack shoes because I assumed he'd be wearing some when he left the house!)

 

My pics of them together...tended to turn out something like this...or E pushing X over or X climbing over E or one of them running away...

 

 Jut got involved to see if he could get a cute pic out of them...hmmm....not very successful

 

 So, this was as good as it got...my cuties in the leaves

Not really a successful photo shoot...We took X in to get his 1-year pics taken and tried for a couple of pics with the kids together there too...That was also a miserable failure.  X took 2 good pics by himself and then decided that he was scared of the flashes and bawled the entire rest of the time.  So, now I've stolen my dad's camera and am trying at home...Oh the joys of parenthood!  :)
