So last year was the first year we sent out a family picture with our Christmas newsletter thingie and it turned out pretty good.  We had found a Christmas card kit, which is a piece of Christmas themed paper that you write or type your letter on. Then when you fold it in half it becomes a card with a space on the front for a picture and your letter is on the inside. Pretty cool!  So anyway we decided to do it again this year, but first we needed a family picture.  That was an interesting and slightly stressful situation because we tried at first to included both our dog, Shadow, and our cat, Sabbath.  Well that didn’t work because Sabbath didn’t want to be held and he would not sit still long enough for the photo to be taken.  And for some reason when we take a photo of Shadow she looks like a demon dog and we have to edit that before we can print the photos.  So after several tries in two different rooms, we decided not to have the pets and to take it in the front living room because it had better lighting.  So after probably almost two hours of getting ready and actually taking the photos we came up with this:

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!
