Take 4,397

Ah yes, the holidays are upon us! This past weekend I decorated for Christmas so we could take a family photo near the fireplace with all of our pets to mail out in our Christmas cards. Last year was hard enough with just Coda and Paco. If you recall, we sent out a picture of Paco beating up Coda since it was the best they could do.

This year we threw costumes & Wellesley into the mix and it was incredibly complicated. We knew there was no way to get all 3 kids in the picture to sit still, so Bob & I got in the photo to hold the pets still.

Coda was too bored and kept laying down to sleep. Paco kept swatting at Coda’s antlers and complaining to get out of his elf costume. Wellesley kept trying to eat his own antlers and managed to hold still for a maximum of 19 seconds since the timer on the camera was set for 20 seconds. He always moved right before the photo was snapped. One time he even hacked up a lung when the picture was taken and his mouth is wide open mid-hack.

After what felt like hours of torture for all of us, we finally got a decent picture of all of us. Merry Christmas ya’ll!
