Christmas Geeks!

This is one of our unsuccessful attempts last night, at getting a family photo for a Christmas card. Forget the dog, he was as much of a pain as the kids. We finally did get a good picture. Our Christmas card had a spot for 2 photos (a smaller one next to the family one), so we put the photo of Jake curled up in his bed in the little photo spot since he was uncooperative for the family shot. Oops, I forgot to get rid of our red eyes before posting this photo!

Christmas geeks, huh? Hey, at least you only have two kids and a dog to try and capture. Getting a good picture of seven kids is really a trick, even with out me in the photo!

By the way, I really like this picture. It has personality.

Should I have said, "Christmas wierdo's"?
I can't even imagine trying to get a good picture of 7 (now 9 with spouses) kids. I'm sure it would have lots of personality. Hey, you should try it!

Where do you get the cards you send? Do you just do them yourself on the computer? I always feel like you are so much better about that than I am.

In orrder to do this sort of thing I'd have to really start in September. Maybe i'll get a camera for Christmas.

We went into Snapfish.com, picked a card, and ordered them. They have something going with Walgreens, where if you pick them up at Walgreens they're ready the next day. We already got the cards, we just need to send them now. It was $10 for a box of 20, so it was pretty cheap.

Dave is amazed at the size of Steven's mouth. He's tempted to see if he can "fit a basketball" in there. LOL!

I agree with Martha! This picture is GREAT!!!

It looks as if Steven has had a jolly good stabbing in the backside by the most unforgiving carpenters nail, and is now hollering out in great pain in order to alert the whole neighbohood that a savage nail is on the loose.

Is that what happened? Or did uncle Dave do something mean to him right before the picture was taken? I wouldn't doubt that.

No Joe, he's just being his wacky self.

Martha said...

Steven's nt te only wacky one out there!

Martha said...

My keyboard is wacky too.

Rachel said...

We're all pretty wacky here, but not usually for a Christmas card photo.
