Very Merry

Merry Christmas, a day late! In the last month and a half, I repeatedly tried and failed to capture a photo of my children for my Christmas card. Though she smiles and poses adorably when Matt takes out his ipone, whenever Maeve sees my giant lens coming at her, she yells, "No!" and runs the other way. So I finally gave up and made a card using individual shots of the girls. Of course, the very next day after dropping my cards in the mail, with the girls dressed for Christmas day, I plopped them down in front of the tree for a quick shot, and Maeve smiled sweetly, saying "cheeeeese" and mugging for the camera. So I figured I'd feature it here, the shot I thought was unattainable, and send out wishes for a very happy holiday season!
