We were almost out the door to church(on time might I add) when I realized we needed our traditional Sunday before Christmas photo of the kids. I told everybody to stand by a tree(I have a few)and pose. I didn't think I was asking for much. All I wanted was a keepsake to remember Christmas this year. Well, let me just say that within a matter of seconds everyone had either pushed, shoved, or hit one another. I had yelled at everyone, including Steve for being too silly and making the kids so rowdy they wouldn't hold still. And, atleast half of us were in tears. However, I think the picture turned out well. It was the very first one shot, and the only one worth showing! Today I have pondered on why the things that are so important to me aren't important to anyone else. Is it really worth the hassle. It is to me. I know that years down the road if I had no pictures(proof of good times)that I would then be hated for that to. So for now, I will act on what is important to me, knowing that someday they will be grateful. Even if they weren't in the moment.
