Christmas Card Pictures


Christmas card Spoiler Alert: The new header picture on the blog is the same as the Christmas card photo. I think it's cute. It's not perfect, and it's not professional, so I don't think I'll be making too many people jealous with it's utter perfection. But let me tell you one thing that should, if you have any envy in you at all, make you jealous. It took a total of about 7 minutes to get. Start to finish. Including getting the kids dressed and ready. The boys aren't wearing socks. Natalie's hair was a mess, with old syrup stuck in it still from breakfast, and looking like a rat's nest. I grabbed whatever we had red left over from last year (except Owen's shirt, which I just bought at Target). They sat and complained for a minute, I snapped about 3 pictures, and we were done. 1-Hour photo cards at CVS done online and picked up the next day. Whew. It's the express train to Christmas preparation.

Side note: Ooooh, to be young enough again that I could run a brush through my ratty hair, throw on a dress or a sweater and look beautiful. Well, maybe I couldn't even do that when I was young. I'm not sure how they do it. And I'll leave you with one more photo from the shoot. I liked it a lot, except for the fact that it makes Liam look a lot smaller than Natalie because he's bending down. She's looks like a mother tending to her two boys.
