Christmas Card Photo Shoot

I went out with the kids to take some pictures, hoping to get a good shot for our Christmas cards. I forget every year how difficult and aggravating this task is. Max is finally at the age to understand that the only way to avoid an extremely grouchy mommy is to cooperate during these photo sessions. Most of the time they were wrestling or tickling each other and, while I tried, I left pretty grouchy. Oh, well! I think I still got some cute shots...real shots!

Kids that Rip!!

Max and Cal both take skateboarding at Desert Devils. Max is in the "Rippers" class and has been taking for about 6 months. Cal just started and is doing great in the "Mini-rippers" class. They have such a great time and the teachers are really fun!
