Didn't make the cut

On Saturday Brandon took Connor to Home Depot to make the monthly project. This time it was a serving tray. It is pretty cool. I will post a pic after Connor paints it. They we went to the park with Brett, Erin & the kids to take our Christmas card pictures. Brandon, Brett & Ryan all looked the same in 90% of the pictures. They've got this picture taking thing down. Then there were the wild cards. Connor, Hudson & Olivia. Let's just say it took a bit of extra effort to get a picture where they were smiling & looking at the camera. Now, i could show you the 5 picture where we are all looking the same way, eyes open & smiling, but really, where is the fun in that? So, for your viewing enjoyment here are the some that did not make the cut:

I think she was aiming for her nose

We took 100 pictures. In 78 of them Connor is making this face


Taking pictures apparently makes Hudson sad

Notice, Connor has on one shoe, sticks his foot in his brother's face & still Brandon does not break the smile

I am still holding out hope that when I receive Erin's Christmas card, this will be the picture

After the photo shoot we headed home for early naps & then out to a Christmas party. Hudson consumed his weight in cookies & Connor managed to take down half of their decorations. We had a great time.

Sunday was off to soccer. It didn't go well, but next Sunday is the last game and that is good. Sunday afternoon Justin came over to help us move the big TV out of the playroom. Then Brandon sawed the entertainment center in half and threw it out. It was so sad to see it go. Brandon built it for me 3 years ago, but since it was built for that TV we really didn't have any use for it.
