In 2008, I started a tradition of taking a picture of the kids in front of their stockings right before they go to bed. It was Christopher's idea to hold our countdown-to-Christmas calendar (which usually makes it into the picture) to mark that it's Christmas Eve.

Nat King Cole was certainly correct: tiny tots find it hard to sleep on Christmas Eve, and they find it even harder to stand still and pose for a picture. Lest you think it's easy for a paparazzi mom like me to get a good picture of her fidgety kids on Christmas Eve...
In retrospect, the out-takes might be the ones that make me smile the most!
