On Saturday we took our ONE YEAR OLD(!) to the park.  She loves to swing, and the weather was perfect.  While there, I noticed a women with her two kids.  She was working out with a friend and you could tell their nighttime jobs.  She was nice enough and as I was lining up the kids for a picture she offered to take a shot of all of us.

Perfect, I didn’t  have a picture for the Christmas card and while we weren’t all dressed as I might have liked, this picture would show real life for us.  Not some posed scene where everyone hates me.  Hate might be too strong a word, but generally, most of the family dislikes me during picture time.  (Not my fault, they never smile at the right time.)

She even took A LOT of pictures of us so I could choose just the right one.

Only problem, she managed to take a ton of out of focus shots (with an auto focus digital SLR???) and cut off our heads.

Merry Christmas~ The Zierleins 2011
