This years Christmas Card Pictures

Like every family in America, or around the world, we set aside a day to take our Family Picture for our Christmas card. You would think that the older the children got, the easier this process would be....nope! There were lighting problems, background issues, camera malfunctions,disorganized children, faces not wiped, hair not combed properly (ok, the way Mommy wanted it done),complaining husband,one not smiling, one not looking..everyone not ready....but all in all, it was FAB!
We go through it every year...if it was perfect, it wouldn't have been a tradition.
The once a year crazy hectic day that is expected, and that it is alright...after our very many takes, we do what we do best and laugh at all the goofiness that was captured on camera, and make more silly and unforgettable memories.
tis this season...happy holidays from Team Rich!

Ask the Pros

We were going to invest in one of those perfect tree finder devices this year, you know the one that everyone was buying up this year at Home Depot??? Ok, I'm playing, there isn't anything like that...well not that I know..but how do you find the perfect tree? Every year we go to Bowans Christmas tree farm to find that special tree to share our holiday with and most importantly hold all our special gifts for our loved ones. Each year TR6 runs around crazy searching for it. Some years it takes longer then others, but bottom line, we all have to agree on it.
So here it is..our tree, the special one.

Right before the boys get ready to cut down our tree daddy always asks " Are you guys sure this one is it?", and together we all answer.." yes, cut it down ".
