    christmas card

    It could have been worse…this whole ‘taking pictures for the Christmas card’ thing that people do.

    Last year I read horror stories about parents trying to get pictures for their Christmas Cards. I decided I wasn’t going to do all that stressing. I grabbed a snapshot at a restaurant and used that one. It was good enough.
    This year, I decided to pull out the tripod and see what we could pull off.
    Holy shit it’s hard to get 5 kids and 2 dogs to sit still and all smile at the same time.

    You ask, ‘how hard could it be?’.

    Cheesy smiles. No smiles. Closed eyes. No lips. Falling off the chair. Halo trying to eat Mooshu. Looking away. Phone ringing. Stoned eyes. Freaky eyes. Bad lighting. No lighting. The fire making the children burst into flames.

    171 pictures later we got this one that we liked.

    I sweat shopped the kids out last night and made them help fill out the envelopes. If you happen to get a Christmas card that has hearts dotting the ‘i”s you got a ‘Kara’ card. If you got a card where the S’s look like they fell down, you got a ‘Marina’ card. If you got a card where the writing slips off the envelope, you got an ‘Alyx’ card.

    Feliz Navidad.
