The Christmas card photos you WON'T see

Take 5, The happy jump. It only goes down hill from here.
Take 40, Harrsion - don't play with the pretty lights, just stare at the hay. Jackson is now giving the glazed over smile.
Take 78 - "Get this scarf off of me!"


Take 78, Jackson - "I dont care if they match, I must wear my orange shoes," qoute was stated before we left the house.

Take 92 -"You can't place these on my head and not expect me to touch them."


Take 132, The puppy is not helping.

take 178, Mom and the barn scene don't help much either.


take 222, "We are done! Can we leave now?"

We did our best for christmas cards this year. Drive 30 minutes to the small country farm. We had the red chair, the christmas lights, a scarf & hat, a new puppy, reindeer antlers, a bench, and a professional photographer. But most importantly we had a sick (runny nose) 17 month old and a just woken-up 4 1/2 year old. Those two things trump any props. If you want to see the final Christmas card picture and are not sure I've got you on my list, e-mail me at dawnfh@gmail.com to see the real deal.
