An Attempt at A Christmas Card Photo

Some of you may remember the Christmas Card attempt from last year.
Well, I guess things haven't improved at all! haha.
But this is much more entertaining, isn't it? :)

  11. Ah, this made me smile with amusement! It reminds me of my sister trying to get a Christmas greeting photo taken of her 3 kids, age 9, 6 and 1, about a year ago, when her youngest daughter was 1 moth old. She said she did in the evening and they were all tired and the little one kept screaming her lungs out. Finally she ended up using the first picture, the only one that was semi acceptable, although she took at least 50.;))

  21. MarieElizabeth ~ it sure brings back memories of my parents trying to take pictures. My dad would take an entire roll of film. It took forever! Our smiles faded for sure. ha. Of course this was before digital and you couldn't even see if you got a good picture until you got them all developed!

  22. Birdie ~ you're right...Harry usually is the most cooperative of the three!

  26. That was great, and reminded me of my 2 year old last year being so sad while when we tried this with a friend! This year we used one already taken!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Mmm ~ no, it's not still alive. This is a new one! ha. I'm trying again, though, and so far, so good. :) Can't believe you remembered!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Austin ~ that's a wonderful idea..use a great one from during the year. Unfortunately, as you can see...we never have a great one! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ooh I think you should use either one of these....they are so true to their nature, and so funny !
    Bless 'em they have to put up with a lot, taking pictures early in the morning...sheesh. :)

  30. Brilliant captions, Betsy - made me laugh so much. They don't look enthused at your idea!

  31. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely boys and the rest of the family!

  32. That's hilarious Bets. Nothing impatient, squirrely kids when you're trying to take a photo. My sons would always do the opposite of one another...one would look tough, you know macho, and the other would smile. Then I'd yell and they reverse roles. They thought it was funny.

  33. hahaha. Adore, Betsy. :) You have beautiful boys who definitely reflect you and your loving heart.

  43. I know exactly how you feel Betsy, I've spent most of the evening trying to do our family Christmas Newsletter. There has been a lot of cropping, cutting & pasting of photos of all the boys taken during the year. Mainly to cut out the beer bottles & ciggies they seem to be constantly clutching!!
