Rebecca Romijn and hubby Jerry O’Connell are known for the fun Christmas cards they send out each year. This year the family–Romijn, O’Connell and their twin daughters, Charlie and Dolly, included the family’s five pets in the Christmas fun.

Decked out in matching holiday pajamas, the whole family spent a while in front of the camera hoping for just the right shot. In the meantime they got lots of hilarious photos that clearly show some of what it’s like to wrangle two small children and a house full of pets into a holiday photo.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell certainly have a beautiful–and very active–family. Kudos to both of them for taking the time and making the (exhausting) effort to wrangle everyone and everything together for a very impressive Christmas card.
