One of our best Christmas Card pictures...

This photo was taken at a Christmas tree farm in Dec. 2001. (Ian was 8, Cole was 3.) I was trying to get the boys to pose nicely...and as usual, it was not going well. But out of the chaos one perfect picture emerged. (Remember this was PRE-digital camera days. You took a few shots, and hoped for the best!)

Looking back - I just love the mischievous looks on their faces. That's my dear, sweet pickleheads! Christmas excitement was in the air, and they had such sweet twinkles on their little eyes!
