Christmas Cards That Didn't Make the Cut

I had to take about three dozen photos before I got one that was usable for a Christmas card.  Here Thomas gets a kick out of squeezing Frederick.
Frederick readies for the flash by squinting.
I told them to "act like you like each other."  This is what they came up with:
Getting fed up with the fruitlessness of getting a "natural" looking posed shot, we headed outside for "candid fun."  Thomas gives Frederick another rib busting squeeze. 
Frederick cracks Thomas us by eating snow.  It was this stunt that actually got them to both smile at the same time and gave us the picture I used in the card.  It's out of focus, but that is as good as it gets in this household.

Didn't Frederick look suspicious until the snow!
