Because it's not a true Trenches family Christmas picture unless someone is:

1. Picking a nose,

2. Crying, or

3. Pouting.
(Eldest definitely wins the gold star for fake smile posing. Along with Mommy - although mine was more tightly clenched teeth hissing "Smile RIGHT NOW". Middle started out strong, but fizzled at the end. And Baby? Was not having ANY part of it. *sigh*)

A Christmas card photo is a tricky animal to capture...
Those were very cute though!
I feel your pain. However, I think all of the pictures are fabulous.
That's why you have to learn how to crop and paste. That's how I get my Christmas card to look perfect! LOL
Very cute pictures. Regardless if they are not perfect, they are adorable.
You just reminded me that I never posted my silly ones. No nose picking, but...I shall do that promptly.
Those boys are dang adorable, whether picking, crying or pouting.
Oh, ya'll are gorgeous.
I think the picking the nose one would make a refreshing Christmas card cover. Just sayin'.
I vote for the nose-picker one!
I say use the nose-picking one. Keeping it real, and all that ;)
The nose-picking one is actually kinda funny (and so realistic!!) We actually managed to get a pretty good picture this year and I'm still in shock! None of the kids were smiling but they were at least looking at the camera and NOT crying!!! I considered it a success!
Found your blog on the MBC Top Bloggers site!
Cute Xmas photos!!!
I know this all too well. I just did all 5 kids and I can't tell you how many outtakes we had. I was all cheery when we started, and near tears when it ended. I finally just took the last decent one and announced they were DONE. Having 5 look at the camera at the same time with JUST A HINT of a smile is impossible.
I sympathize.
