A Very Douglass Christmas III

It's that time again, internets.
I present for your Christmas viewing pleasure the Douglasses through the years! Behold the awesomeness that is my bad hair and fluctuating weight! Also, I want you to keep in mind that these are the best shots we got every year. That means there are worse versions of each of these pictures. Hard to believe, but it's true.

1997, married 6 months

1998, we added a cat

1999, we added a kid

Our 2000 picture is lost somewhere in cyberspace. So, here's Will in 1982 instead.

2001, Germany

2002, Germany

2003, Germany (are you detecting a pattern here?)
By the way, I was knocked up in this picture but didn't know it yet. So it's technically Liam's first Christmas picture.

2004--Will was in Germany. Ben, Liam and I were at my parents'. Liam was only 3 months old and recovering from open heart surgery. So, this was the best I could manage.

2005, we'd added TWO kids
Geez Louise, I look like the poster child for postpartum depression.

Bonus: me in 1977.

2006, Maryland

2007, Will was deployed and we spent Christmas with my family. I guess I didn't take one in front of the tree that year either.

2008, Georgia



2009, Georgia

2010, Tennessee
I'm pretty sure the phrase, "Smile or get beat"
was uttered at some point during this photo shoot.



2011, Tennessee
We inherited two cats. We love them. And Will is usually the one who organizes the yearly family Christmas picture. Since he's deployed and I'm too lazy, so this is what you get this year.

Merry Christmas!!
