We are less than a week away from Christmas and cameras are snapping, flashing, and popping everywhere. From trying to get the perfect Christmas card, to the annual family Christmas portrait, we are smiling left and right.
In our family, not all of our pictures show happy, smiling faces. In fact, we enjoy expressing ourselves no matter how we feel, and if it gets caught on film, all the better. With the full range of emotions that we as humans feel, why not use them all more often.
This year, we have a beautiful picture of Mason hugging Santa on our Christmas card (I'll show you that one in the next few weeks), but in the album, we have all kinds of other faces. This one is the picture of Mason telling me he did not want to smile anymore while decorating the tree. Okay. What can I say? I can't make the kid smile just because I want an angelic picture. Not to mention, he is far from an Angel. In reality, the rebellious pictures tell the truer story. They tell the story of the whole human, not just the happy human. Have a great day, and feel whatever you feel like feeling!
