a christmas to remember......


First of all, I have to emphasize that there was absolutely no photo editing done on this picture. What you see is what we had to clean-up! My mother-in-law managed to capture this moment on film last christmas morning. Needless to say, Mia had the stomach flu. Chris's face is priceless. I can almost hear him screaming like a girl. I'm doing just what I appear to be doing--screaming "NO" at my husband who didn't get the bowl in front of her in time! I also like how Jonah is completely oblivious to what is happening. Poor Mia. She was such a trooper and didn't let being sick stop her from enjoying Christmas. We still had a great day, but I hope that we can all be healthier this year!
Merry Christmas!

Court and Britt said...

WOW, your faces are priceless. I'm sure it wasn't funny at all then, but maybe now a year later you guys can laugh about it!

Court and Britt said...

wasn't it last year too that you got a call in the middle of the night (christmas I think) from our alarm company that our alarm was going off? gee sure hope this year you get a good nights sleep and no one is sick :)

Erin said...

OMG! That is so hilarious. Poor Mia. I can't believe your mother-on-law caught that on film, she should win some kind of an award for that. Hope it goes better this year.

OH MY WORD!!!! That picture is PRICELESS! That could win a photo contest or something. Really, who captures a picture like that? Amazing. Thanks for making me and Tyler laugh tonight! :)

Oh my goodness! I remember you telling me this story, but A PICTURE IS SO MUCH BETTER! That is killer! What a "fun" memory for the photobook! LOL!

Hey, we got your beautiful Christmas card. Your family is so darling. Brady is soooo big, I had to do a double take. I thought he was Jonah at first! Ashton was especially thrilled and carried your card around for hours. I had to pry it from his sticky little hand so I could put it up on our entryway with the Christmas cards! Love to you all!

I can't believe you actually got that shot! That's amazing. And sad. I sure hope this year goes more smoothly, but thank you for the very entertaining and memorable photo. (Maybe you can send it out on christmas cards someday?) JUST KIDDING!
(And Jonah's oblivious look really is my favorite part.)

That is the funniest picture! I love it! I love your commentary about it too. Chris' face is awesome as well as Jonah's obliviousness. Fun that you can look back and laugh now!
