awww! that is an awesome pic! i don't have mine off my camera yet. they aren't very good, lol. photography takes a backseat to excited kids on Christmas, lol.
 
GORGEOUS pic Traci.

Mine's nothing fancy...just means a lot to me.

Minus the fact that Madelyn looks like Cujo...I love that they are so totally into helping each other. I never had that kind of relationship with my sisters.
 
My kiddos in their holiday best at the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service.

Unfortunately Mya woke up pretty sick Christmas morning. I tried to get her to open presents, but she just laid in the middle of all the wrapping paper and toys looking miserable. She followed me into the kitchen while I made breakfast and when I turned around from the stovetop, I found her sleeping on the hard kitchen floor. My poor baby ...

We managed to have a nice Christmas, but it was a bit dampened by worrying about her and working to keep her fever down. Fortunately she seems to be doing much better today. We did a little presentation to her this morning of all her new toys and clothes and she was delighted.
 
Traci: GORGEOUS
Misty: your kids are so cute and Abby and my nieces had thsoe same XMAS Pj's as Mya!
Laura: I LOVE that picture of the girls!!!

so far my favorite picture is my avatar :) even though I think I have a few on my camera still!
 
When you live in the tropics and your kids want a white Christmas, you have to be creative :) So, we bought 10 lbs of cotton batting and gave the kids a snowy Christmas! They LOVED it!

Oh my Janet! That's awesome and scary...all at the same time! (what a cool thing to do though)

Misty: that photo of Mya sleeping on the hard floor is too precious. Poor little thing. Glad to hear she's feeling a bit better.

Angie: I love that photo!!
 
Im going to say that this one is my favourite. It really and truly makes the photographer half of my brain scream in pain, but it makes the mummy half of my brain sing with joy. Its my little man and his baby cousin (my brothers little girl). Its their first ever photo together. My lil man was a long time comin and his first christmas is just so special to me.

Traci, that is a cute pic.

Laura, that is so sweet.

Misty, poor Mya. Glad to hear that she is feeling better. Both pics are great.

Angie, love your avie.

Crystal, such a cutie.

Janet, I. Love. It. I can only imagine how excited they were to wake up to that. Love the aftermath picture too!

Lani, those are great photos.

Fairon, those are great.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
 
My 2 favorites are one of our tree after both grandparents brought their gifts over, taken on Christmas Eve, and a picture of my father with my new niece who was born just a week ago, taken yesterday on Christmas Day. My dad isn't a very emotional man so it was nice to take a picture of him and his newest granddaughter.

I didn't take any really great ones. A 3 year old will not hold still while Christmas is here and the lighting in my apt sucks, but here's some fun:
My Nicholas playing his new drum set (with his Mater the Grater set in the background and his motorcycle from last year):

Opening the present he had been asking Santa forever for:

Digging into his stocking at my dad's last weekend:

Playing with his Bat Cave with his cousin, Gabrielle:

Misty, you're kids are SO cute! Poor Mya. I'm glad she's feeling better
Crystal, I looove that hat!
Janet, how freaking cool is that? I'm way to OCD to do something like that LOL
Lani, I LOVE the look on his face in that second one. How cute!
Fairon, tell Walkie to stop. He looks SO grown up!
Jennifer, that pic of your dad is great.
Mari, looks like Nicholas made out!
 
These pictures are great, everyone! :D

Jennifer- That picture of your dad and niece is just precious :wub:

Laura- I know, right?! lol

getting the Power Rangers set that he thought my inlaws got for his cousin...he found them before they were wrapped and they really were for his cousin, but he made such a fuss over them that they went out and bought him a set too...it was a great surprise for him

I don't even know if I've ever posted over here before but I've been a member for a while and recognise so many faces here! Whilst I'm winding down from the Chrissy rush, thought I'd start going through all the threads here! I have a fave pic of one of my boys - this is Ryan who is 4 and a half hanging Chrissy decos on our tree a-la-nude! He'd been helping me decorate the tree when I asked him to get into the bath but before I got him in, I found him back at the tree with only his Santa hat on! Can't wait to show this photo at his 21st birthday LOL!

And OMG Janet, how much fun would that have been waking up to a snow-filled room! I can just imagine the fun you guys had cleaning it up and off your furniture too!

My 19mo nephew was having fun blowing kisses to my little gurl when he got close enough that she could grab his face and really lay one on him! This must be what they mean by kissin' cousins. :)

For whatever reason I didn't take a lot of pictures this year. Mostly of my niece but nothing really good. So here is the one that I really like and really worked to get the perfect shot.
