Family photos can be a bit of a challenge at any time, but Christmas ones always seem to feature at least one person blinking or moving their head or hand at the wrong time, or even refusing to smile at all! Fortunately, thanks to the magic of photo editing, I managed a near perfect photo in 2017. The only thing that kinda cracks me up is my eldest son clutching his youngest brother's shoulders tightly in order to keep him still. Oliver was a bit of a live wire, that's for sure! For this layout, I just purchased a Simple Stories Christmas collection and enjoyed using brand new papers and embellishments as an early Christmas gift to myself.
