December 15 - Picture Perfect

Last week we did a few photo shoots with the kids for our holiday cards. When I say 'photo shoot,' I mean I forced the kids to get dressed up and pose in a Santa and elf hat. Julia was totally on board and having a ball, while Luke had zero interest (ZERO) in sitting still for a photo. And forget any sort of natural smile out of him, I tried for 45min and this photo was the best I could do (and I had to bribe him with chocolate to get this). Even though we don't see their gorgeous dimples, I still love this picture. So imagine my display when I went to make the card and discovered the photo quality wasn't good enough for the card. Arg! So....the following night we repeated the whole process using JD's phone (which takes much better photos). It was another 45min of trying to get the kids to smile naturally and Luke to sit still. We never saw the dimples but there were some cute photos. I mailed our cards out today so hopefully you get yours soon.

Happy Monday!
