Quite an experience

Last night Kevin and I took Gus to get his Christmas pictures taken. I was a little nervous about it, just because Gus is always so happy and smiley, I figured the one time we paid someone to take pictures of him that he would be crabby. But everything went more or less ok. The biggest problem was that his outfit was black and gray, and the only shoes he has are brown. Last year for John's Christmas pics, Jenny just had socks on him, and everyone gave her a lot of grief for that. But I decided to just go with the socks and deal with it. Anyway, the photographer was pretty weird (I guess that's a given). We tried putting Gus in a couple chairs, but he always stretched his legs out straight and kind of leaned over. They even had the exact same chair that was in John's picture last year. They also put him in a box like he was a present, but again he just wanted to stretch his legs straight, and the round box looked more like an oval. So the 'Christmas-themed' pictures were all just a little weird. Anyway, here's the ones I ended up ordering...and thankfully the shoe/sock debate ended up not being a problem! Unfortunately Gus was a little drooly in the portrait picture, but its still decent.
And thanks mom for the cute outfit!!!!!
