Family Christmas Picture 2010

Today we tried taking a family Christmas photo. Jeez, this was a lot harder than I thought! She wouldn't sit still. We set the camera on timer and took tons of pictures, trying to get a decent one, but she'd look away, look at us, try to run away, squirm... it was almost impossible! We sang songs, like "The Elmo Song" (that has become "The Mila Song" or, since we sing it in Spanish, "La Cancion de Mila") and tried playing with her toys... finally the only thing that seemed to help was reading her her Elmo pop-up book "Buenos Modales" ("Good Manners.") This book is my favorite -  so fun, it rhymes and the pop-ups are awesome! (Gracias Mami & Cathy!)

Anyway, here are a few pictures of our struggle, LOL.

And here's the one that finally came out well! Mila looks a bit serious, but at least she's not walking out of the picture, haha!
