Ok. So this is my parent's Christmas card they are sending out this year. It cracks me up for MANY reasons.
1 - Most of us look like rag-a-muffins. We had been to the Arkansas/Texas A & M football game earlier that day and most of us had changed clothes already. Also, no one was there to take the picture. It was sitting on the counter on a timer. Cheese!
2 - You get a great shot of the BACK of Hunter and Colson's heads. I guess no one needs to see their face anyway or maybe Mom and Dad think they are ugly?
3 - Abby has a silly grin on her face as she is staring at Allie and not the camera. Again, cheese!
4 - Mom and Dad aren't even in the picture!
5 - Bo looks short and he is FAR from being short. He usually is towering over everyone in our pictures together so I think he looks funny. Sorry dear.
HOWEVER,
As I look at this card I also see a dove. A dove that represents Reese and I love that. I love that my dad has a precious, sensitive heart and last year also put the dove on the White family Christmas card. I love that the dove is there. I love that Reese is in heaven watching over us every day like the dove is above Katie and Jason's head. Reese is very much a part of our family and always will be. We all love her and miss her. Not a day goes by that she doesn't cross my mind. I know it never will.
I love my family. All of them. I am blessed and will never take for granted how much each one of them mean to me. We are the Griswolds. I love it. Merry Christmas from the WHITE family!
Bo and I met at Baylor and were married on August 5, 2000. We had a baby girl on September 18, 2007. Three years later, the Lord blessed our family with a son. He was born on January 28, 2011. I feel so blessed and honored to be the mom of two beautiful children! I love my life!!

Mom and Dad are going to kill me. I just can't stop laughing at the picture! : )
Haha!! So funny!
Wow! Laughing & crying all at the same time! Great post, Mandy!
I love all the funny reasons. I never thought about Bo being short. Ha! You are still so short in front of him so he still looks tall to me!
Yes, we are the Griswolds, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Love you!
When Katie posted it on her site, I immediately noticed the back-of-the-heads! Too funny. And I love how they honor Reese.
Merry Christmas!
What a sweet and thoughtful dad! Not many would do that I don't think. This picture is so funny! Much better than getting all dressed up and not looking like yourselves! Have a merry Christmas with the Whites!!
