You'd think it would be easy, wouldn't you? Just plop the kids down in front of the tree, tell them to smile and take the damn picture, right? Wrong!
It never fails. Never. My kids are not cooperative in front of a camera. Someone is always giving someone else bunny ears (Aaron!) and someone else has a cheesy little grin on her face (Marissah!). Someone else refuses to smile at all (Micah!). this year I was lucky. I only had to take seven pictures before getting a decent shot. Praise the Lord! One year I had them posed for over an HOUR and didn't get a single decent picture. Of course, then Mike stepped in, took two shots and had a great photo. :P
Last year we had a true family picture for our Christmas cards-Mom, Dad and kids. We opted to leave the dog out because he hates to sit still. this year it will just be a picture of the kids, in front of the tree they decorated themselves (they did a great job!), all wearing their Minnesota Vikings gear. they look adorable, if I do say so myself. And everyone smiled.
I'm ordering my Christmas cards from Shutterfly this year, just like I did last year. Only difference is, this year I'm getting them free for writing this blog. LOL Check them out-I know you'll be pleased with the quality-I always am! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards
