December 9

Karis's cousins came over to play yesterday. Grandma provided the Charlie Brown t-shirts, Aunt Megan brought the treasure hunt game and prizes, Aunt Kelly and MeMa helped commandeer the kids onto the front doorsteps for the portrait session, and I snapped the not-so-winning pictures. The photo shoot and matching shirts were Grandma's idea, and I'm sure the top photo is what she had in mind to use for her Christmas letter. But I kind of prefer the bottom photo. It certainly tells the story more clearly about what it's like trying to get these four little monkeys to pose for a picture.
