Those were really funny! I'd LOVE to see how it turned out & need your mailing address to send a Christmas card to. My email's still dannaprobst@hotmail.com. I'll give you our new mailing address too to send a Christmas card, okay? Thanks Molly!

Ok we can try again!! Some of my favorite christmas cards from people are the candid shoots that aren't serious, something to think about!! Like the one with the children screaming bloody murder on Santa's lap, those are my favorite. I am being serious!! Sorry we didn't get any good one!

At you least you tried. I was just thinking about Christmas cards today and was thinking maybe I'd skip them this year. Your family is darling even if nobody's looking at the camera.

Those cracked me up. I don't think you even have the option of photoshopping heads this year. I will stop complaining about trying to do the family photo shoot with one kid. I can't even imagine with 3.

I totally vote for a montage of out-takes on your card this year . . . and I'll send you my address, cuz I'll want one. Those made my night; not that I'm laughing at you, but with you . . .our family pics are this Saturday.

I SO feel your pain!!!

I am so sorry! We didn't send cards last year for that very reason! I even made all the cards, but after several photo ops, I gave up (and I only had one kid at the time!) I think your pictures are beautiful! Really though...how do people get there kids to sit so still for the pictures? Either they aren't as active as your kids, or they've discovered benadryl.

These pictures are great! People can get a sense for your real life family instead of the imaginary version. Cute, cute boys!

Jeremy said...

Great post, Babe, it cracks me up every time I see it. I guess we'll do another hand-drawn card this year.

We took the easy route last year, and did individual pics. of all 4. To simplify even more we did it all on-line through the USPS. Very easy, about the same price and way cute.

However, I love the fun poses, and would love getting a card with any of these pictures. You guys look like you're having fun!

Yes, this is exactly the reason we will not be sending Christmas cards this year! I am laughing out loud. I'm just dying to get one of these pictures in the mail this year...Please! That perfect family is an illusion-- I like the one with personality!

Love it Love it
Best Post of all Time!!

The hand pose! Fantastic.
What is that? What are you doing???

Still laughing and crying!
Will enjoy this post for years to come!

I think someone mentioned they would like to see how the picture turned out. But that is how the picture turned out!!??

Love matthew, he looks so different and all grown up! Wow, why do the babies grow?

Karen said...

Can we vote for funniest post of the year?

Janis said...

I think you should use the pose where all of your heads are bowed and put "We pray you will have a very Merry Christmas!"

Juliana said...

Oh- so funny! I love it. That is so us... you are so hilarious! I would love to live by you and laugh my brains out everday!
