The Joys of Christmas Photos!


For the past few years, I have been sending out a photo card of the girls. I dread taking these pictures every year. Trying to get these two chicks smiling at the same time in the same direction is nearly impossible. The end product always looks OK but no one really know what happens to get to this point. Last year, I tried to have them both in red velvet dresses sitting on the ottoman in front of our tree. They wouldn't sit still, both were crying, and I was yelling "just sit still and smile." Our card last year ended up with the kids in their coats and hats sitting on our steps.
Ps...Dresses came from Target.com for $5 a few months ago!

I remember the drama from last years' card, but it was still super cute. I love the girlie's dresses! I love the black and white against the red. I've been thinking that I might have to ax the whole traditional picture christmas card. Today I went and bought $ store cards ugh!!! Sorry to all that gets them, I'm going to be lame this year!

Cute cute pics. I'm a big fan of the targer dresses too. Christmas pictures can be very challenging. I agree wholeheartedly but yours turned out great. Where are Cody and Roman? You could have dressed them up as reindeer. HAHA
