Cheese!

Our camera charger was packed into oblivion in TX by the movers in August, so we ordered a replacement charger right before Christmas (thanks to Gisa for suggestion Ebay).  Most pics from Aug to Dec were via iPhone.  

Owen in particular has really woken up to posing for the camera.  Since the many Christmas Eve attempts taken with the timer, Owen has turned into what Bill calls the Reverse Paparazzi.  He grabs the camera, demands a picture, poses with a fake smile, gives a "cheese!" and then demands several more shots.  Sometimes he even requests a quick view before the next shot.  He's making sure that just because he the #2 boy, he isn't going to be "under-photographed" even if he has to take matters into his own hands.

It's pretty cute to see how his posing spot (originally next to the tree) and faces have evolved.  This nose crinkle took a lot of effort (and even resulted in a grunt with his "Cheese!"

And of course, big brother had to get in on the action too (thanks Super Grandparents for the matching Christmas jammies - a hard copy has been ordered for you and will be en route soon)...
