Outtakes

Last Sunday we had our Christmas card pictures made. RARELY do we have a picture with all 4 of us in it. Typically, I am the one shoving the lens in front of my family, and occassionally, Jeff will take the wheel   lens and get one of me and the girls. I called Curry to come over and snap a few. Of course, I will not be showing you the winning shots, but I will share some of the better outtakes. You can figure out for yourselves why these are the out takes. (but I will commentate anyway)

Jeff's leg looks uncomfy here...

and Jenna's hair was boufante-y here...and Jade was almost picking her nose...

The sun ruined this one...besides none of us look that great here...

Thanks Jade!

The light was to blame for this one...

LOVE THIS, but not right for card!

Seriously almost used this one as a side image for the card.

Close.....

another close one. (couldn't decide is Jade looked sweet or awkward)

The cards are ordered and as long as they get here in time, I will meet my goal of being the first card to arrive in the mail. I always mail mine the day before Thanksgiving so that they arrive the day after. Smart, huh?! Now, I just need to update my address book and print the labels, buy stamps, buy envelopes, get the envelopes ready, and so on.

This is EXACTLY why I start preparing for Christmas in September. I hope to have the house decorated by week's end. (or at least the weekend)
