Merry Christmas 2009

Our Annual Christmas Photos...

Yesterday, I decided to take everyone's photo for our Christmas card and the yearly photos of the kids. Allison isn't done designing the card yet, but here are some of the photos...

Genevieve age 7


Sophia age almost 3


Isaac age almost 5


Jonathan age 15 1/2


Allison age almost 18


Me with a couple of stinkers...


Eric and I, not telling how old...



I'm pretty excited to see the final Christmas design and I'll share once it's complete.

Christmas Photos 2008

This year, we decided to have a family photo taken for our Christmas card. A friend of ours offered to take the pictures for us and we not only took him up on it, we stole his yard for the backdrop too.LOL Here's some of the great photos he took for us.

Pose #1


This one was taken while we were getting into another pose. I like it.lol


We almost used this photo for our cards.lol


A good older kid photo...


A good younger kid photo...


Us. We haven't had a new photo of us in YEARS!


The one we chose for our card this year...


Now for the funny...after this photo was taken, Allison, Jon and I all got haircuts and dye jobs and none of us look the same. :snort:

Here is what the older kids look like...

Christmas Photos 2007

It has been a LOOOONNNNG day! We started the day by dressing everyone in their best outfits and then trying to get a decent photo. Really, at this stage in the game I just go for decent.LOL After 58 photos, the very last one was the keeper! I've already ordered the Christmas cards and will get them tonight at Walgreens. Pretty cool!

Sophia getting ready. In retrospect, I should have gotten the older kids ready first. :snort:


Yoohoo, I'm over here!


Evie! Over here!


This pretty much sums up the whole experience...


Almost...


Not quite... Jon quit throwing things!


Evie quit making puking faces!


Isaac quit rolling on the floor!


I'm still over here, Isaac!


We're getting tired, but giddy with the idea that someday this will end...


Baby Hulla...


Ahhh! Perfection! All smiling, looking straight ahead and no pukey faces!


We kept this one and Allison fixed the background so that it isn't all wrinkled. Next time I'll iron the background.LOL We also cropped it so that it's even on both sides.

Blessings,

I think these two pictures are in the running for our Christmas cards this year. I would love for you all to post your opinions on which is better.



As you can see. I was able to get all the kids in the pictures, somewhat smiling and sort of facing the camera. I should get some sort of medal!lol
