There's nothing like trying to get a Christmas card picture at the last minute, especially in Vancouver in December when you just need to cross your fingers, hoping for a non-rainy day. And we completely lucked out last Sunday with some gorgeous sun.

Of course I got one that made the Christmas card, but the outtakes are always my favourite.

I can't help but smile at his little chipped tooth. It happened a couple weeks ago. We're not sure when exactly but this kid is all boy. Turn your back for a minute and you'll hear "big jump" followed shortly after by "bonk".

And this was me being a mean momma. As a photographer's kid he gets mighty sick of seeing the camera up to my face and I have to resort to trickery to get the shot I want. So I may have said "look at the dog" in order to get his face to light up and look at me. And then kept clicking when I got his super cute "I don't know" answer.
