I had planned to take our family Christmas picture last weekend, but still wasn't feeling well and so we postponed it until today. Of course I wasn't counting on a blizzard being forcasted for the weekend... Still, we're hardy North Dakotans now and a little blizzard wasn't going to stop me from taking the quintessential front-porch photo.
It's hard enough to get a perfect shot of four people, but try doing it with wind-chill temperatures at -7 degrees! However, the kids were troopers and Rob was very supportive; we would take a few shots and then go inside to warm up. When I told the kids to say "strawberry" instead of "cheese", Jake disagreed, then thought for a moment and told us, "Say cranberry!" What a funny kid...he also seems to be the most sub-zero photogenic; check out the slide show below.
