Am I first? Like talking to you for two and a half hours last night, then receiving an email first thing this morning, wasn't enough...No, I had to be first on the blog, and first to comment...Sorry, Matthew, I love you bunches, but I am his number one fan... If I'm not first to comment, I tip my hat to you, who may have beat me. I applaud your dedication. I love people who love Jordan, so I love you too. I love the picture at LaSallette. It was wet, but wonderful! I don't know about the Christmas picture...Overall the first was best.

Awesome Jordan... For the sake of voting... both look great,
but I'd go with the first picture. Hope all is well. (How
can't it be with a fiance right?) ;) catchyaladda. -JH

Hey robin hood, I think Family Christmas picture #1 is the
best. Much

Hey Jordan, Great post! Your lucky! I don't even have someone to rake with. The only help I ever get is from a far to-energetic German shepherd and a deaf, ancient schnauzer. As you can imagine they are not too much of an help. I am going to say #1 just so I don't get on the bad side of Much! You don't want to get in the way of his bag of flour! Isn't Lasallette amazing? I get blown away every time we go! God bless your week and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! P.S. Will Scarlet(michael) was the one who gave me the name Alan Adale, thought if you want to bestow the name on someone more worthy than I, than i will willingly give it up. For King Richard!!!!!!!

Well, you do look better in #1 but, the whole lay out is better in #2. If I was not you, I would go with #2. If I was not you. You and Melissa raking is cute!

Whatever!? People look worse in first, background horrid in second- you'd have to be an incredibly vain guy to sacrifice everyone else’s looks for yours... #2 wins but I’d really take another picture…….

Wow I'm glad 2 other people beat me to it, I didn't want to be the first one to go against the flow. I think you personally look better in #1, but I love the Christmas tree in #2, and everyone else looks far better (IMHO). If I were the manager of WalMart I would have kicked you out for being such a hambone. ;-) Lovely retrospective photos from MA, congratulations again, my best buddy!

Mom and I say #2 is the best (My most sincere apologies, Alan) ... because the grandparents are in the front, and holding Kalie. That's so cute! Great job,and Merry Christmas! God bless, Emma

I think picture #2 is better. I think EVERYONE looks more comely in that one :) I especially love Kalea's face--don't change it! It's a riot! By the by, congrats on your engagement :) My family and I wish you and Melissa well... Have a great week!

Go with the first Pic :) If you didn't have the books in the background of the second, more people might have voted for the latter... Your picture of shopping reminded me that people still actually shop in the stores...while the wise ones stay at home and find and order everything from the ol' inter-yourpaym-et. Ok, well, I'm going to believe the conspiracy theory and think that you actually have some decorating talents! Your just hiding it behind that honest, modest, and dare I say hot...bzzzzz I digress. Has anyone noticed that because Jordan didn't have many pictures of the happenings in this area, he just popped in a couple more pics from MA and his one and only from the 2500 pics he's taken on the East coast...How many more will he show next week?...It's great by the way...just an observatin. :) Lastly, I've been wanting to play some basketball again with you guys, and now, you have a scoreboard...that does it. Here I come. Still a Bulls fan?

You are really all very photogenic, I'm sure you all know. I don't think I've seen a more photogenic family in all my days. . . . Not helpful enough?? Something my wife taught me over the years when it comes to family photos; the photo that SHE looks best in is the photo that we use! - "I'm sorry Honey," (says she) "that your eyes were closed and your face is blurry in that one, I guess you'll have to clone in some eyeballs then... Oh what? You were sneezing? Too bad." . . . . So I'd ask the ladies in the photo for their opinion, which might concur with my choice of photo #2. Everyone seems a little more natural in #2 (even you) even though Kalea's smile has fallen asleep. If you cropped it in a little left and right to both your and Jeremy's elbows it might cozy it up a bit. Don't you agree Mlissa? . . . . . Wow. I forgot how much it was raining at the beginning of the night at the "Festival of Lights" (as they call it at LaSalette Shrine) - but it was such an incredibly warm night. . . JFly

I don't visit your blog for a while and you get engaged! Congratulations Jordan! Looks like you're marrying into a really neat family. Out of the two I like the first picture better. The tree takes the focus off your family and Danielle looks really cute in the first, but I think you should have Kalea in the middle.:-)

All right, picture comments I will respond to more thoroughly in my next blog post. Anyway ... ahh ... my dear girl, you were indeed the first, and I too love people who love thee. :-) How I anticipate hearing your voice again on Monday (and hearing your cries to your brother Michael to give up the phone was also a true blessing - and quite hilarious). Jonathan, yes, all certainly does seem to be well when you have a fiance, even during times when the world around you is hectic and chaotic. Thanks for your vote. :-) Much! So good to hear from you! Thank you for your vote as well, my noble lad! Look forward to seeing you in a couple weeks! Alan, though I were to search the entire isle of England, I could not find a more worthy man to take the name of Alan 'A Dale. Welcome! Oh, and rest assured ... the Lord will bring you a raking partner before you know it. :-) Hello Sarah! Hah, thanks. Yeah, I like that picture of me and Meliss. Lillian ... way to make your debut on Niednagel.com with a bang! You go girl! Yo, Nato! Thanks for your vote. :-) Sure glad you're not the manager of WalMart. :-D Emma! Thanks for saying hi! Yeah, #2 is better overall, though admittedly neither are fantastic (I'll explain more later). Katie! You've made your move! How are you liking Colorado? Hope and pray all is well over there. Hey, your blog doesn't work anymore ... let me know when you set up a new one. And thank you for your congratulations. :-) Hey Jon! Yeah, I know, internet shopping is the way to go. lol, your comment made me really laugh, and great observation too. :-) No, I hate the Bulls now ... but I'm still living in the 90s. Hi Amber! Thank you for your house prayers. Hope all is well over there in Oregon. Anonymous, THANK YOU for your comment! I love you, man! (or woman!) lol, umm ... thanks for the sincere comment, Jeff! Yeah I know, as long as the ladies look nice, nothing else matters. Thanks for the crop tip, too. Have to understand that us Niednagels don't put in a whole lot of time to get that "perfect" shot. If we're all in it, then it's a good picture. Hi Carol! Thanks so much for your congrats. Yes, I'm marrying into a VERY neat family. God is so good. Take care. Interrupter ... no need to waste your time here by stating the obvious. When do I not rock? Yo Ryan! Merry Christmas to you, too!
