Christmas Cards

We've finally sent out some of our Christmas cards. This year daddy convinced me to do something other than our traditional family picture on the Christmas card. So this is the picture that went out on our cards:



Daddy liked that it was a "rockin" Christmas picture and although I like it, I was drawn more to the traditional picture where you could see the girls faces better. In the end I decided to go ahead with daddy's choice, especially since we were having trouble getting the girls to look at the camera at the same time and not make funny faces, etc.

Below is one of the other pictures that were considered, but since Madison's mouth is hanging open it wasn't ideal...


The picture below wan't too bad, but it just wasn't great. Argh!! Taking pictures is frustrating!



My next goal is to get the girls pictures taken with Santa. I am hoping to get some really good pictures this year since this is the first year Madison isn't terrified of Santa. Maybe we can attempt to visit Santa this weekend...

  1. I think they are all cute pictures. I think any one of them would do but I do like Daddy's pick just because it is fun and different.

  2. I like them all! But you are 100% right that is difficult to get all these kids to look AND smile in one direction. Maybe next year we'll steal your idea! It seems to have worked well!!! lol.

  4. Getting the kids to look at the camera at the same time is getting more and more impossible as they get older. You made a good choice in the picture though. It's original!
