Taking the annual Christmas card photo is such a stressful fun experience, especially with a super spunky two year old in the mix. I may have sounded something like this...
"Finn, Look at the camera"
"Finn, take your hands outta your mouth"
Then Finn replies, "Whatcha spazzin' out about back there MOM?"
"Finn, one good smile and we can be done"
"Please baby, pretty please"
"Well, maybe not that big of a smile... "

I know! Why do we do this to ourselves??? <3
I can totally relate. Check out this post http://theweaversworld.blogspot.com/2010/11/sunday-snapshot-christmas-pictures_28.html
I was not happy with her bad attitude. I wanted to get a great photo card with her beautiful dress that her Grandma bought her for her birthday. I loved that her doll also had a matching dress. Not happening.
Oh...she is ADORABLE!!!! Look at those precious cheeks!!! SO...did you get a good shot?
I'm giggling. But I promise it is WITH you and not at you. Been there. Done that. But 'my Finn' is a four year old boy who shows no promise of ever growing out of it...
i did get one good shot of Finn...too bad that it was when no one else was looking at the camera :) so her eyes are near closed in the photo...it was the best we could do and we desperately needed to be done :)
Christmas photos always make me wish I was super good at using photoshop so I could take her smile from this outtake, her eyes from this one...
I am laughing hysterically at your psot! I can relate. My spunky 2 1/2 year old gave me a run for my money also!
Just LOVE that girl!
OK...that is waay funny! Getting those shots are so hard but in a few years, you will love the outtakes more than the perfect ones. :)
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. Nice to 'meet' you! :)
You just wrote the story of our family Christmas card photos. Thank you, now I don't have to!
I can only imagine how hard it is with 6 kids to get a good pic! It's hard for us and we have fewer folks! Oh well...it IS memories in the making though, right?
Bet the end product turned out great too!
Blessings,
Tammy
