The night before Christmas.....



We have a tradition, passed down from Guy's dad, to read The night before Christmas. It is always a touching moment to hear Guy tell the boys about his Dad coming home all dressed in his police gear to read the story and then head off to work again. I love to see the boys watch their daddy read to them. Ok so the picture is staged a little. Ok alot. Timothy was running around like a crazy boy asking when Santa was coming and Ian didn't want to sit on the floor. Mitchial didn't want to sit by Samuel because he was wiggly. So after I threatened them to sit still or I would call Santa, they all sat for a good 2 pictures. After the story we put out the magic reindeer food and they were off to bed. What a great Christmas eve. Timothy came down every 5 minutes and asked if Santa was here yet. It was so cute for the first 4 times, then after 45 minutes it got old:) He eventually did fall asleep but then at midnight Mitch and Sam had to get up for a potty break. Good thing Santa hadn't come yet. I love Christmas.

What's that steam coming from near the camera frame of reference? Oh yeah, that must be coming from the photographer... ;)'
