2 Days, 3 Sessions, and 74 Pictures

December 16, 2008 by Brandi Leave a reply »

…and there is only one shot that will work with our Christmas card.  And it’s blurry.  So, HH is phot-shopping the heck out of it as I type.  If he can’t work some serious magic, we’ll have to use one of these:


This is what about 60 of the shots came out like (except Bug usually sports a more confused look).


Can you tell that we’ve hit a “silly” stage?  Or perhaps it’s just a genetic fondess for KISS.


Of course, we got a good 10 frames of this pose.  Classy, don’t you think?


How about the caption “Eye Love Christmas”  or “Arrgh!  Hope you get lots of booty from Santa!”


No explanation needed.
And it just might make it onto the family Christmas card this year.

  1. That is what most of mine ended up like as well. Very cute though!

    LOL So funny. I love that last one, I think the recipients might just get a kick out of that one. :)

  3. Candace says:

    The last one is awesome – I love Christmas pictures where the kids are having meltdowns – it cracks me up every time. Hope your picture comes out just right!

  4. you know how I feel about less than stellar poses. We tons of them. They are honest.

  5. I think I would use the one where Woggie is gettiing Bug’s eye. Honestly. You know that whole speaking a thousand words thing? That one says “Sibling Love and Affection”!!!

  6. I love picture outtakes. My mothers’ day when son was <1 yr and daughter was 5…. sitting at a restaurant trying to get a decent picture of me and the kids… the outtakes are hillarious.

    My personal fave… “Eye Love Christmas” and that should totally be your caption on the card.

    This is one of those moments when I know why I like you. Your kids crack me up! And OH how I can relate to numerous picture sessions and numerous pictures, only to have to SEARCH for a good one! We’re all in this together! :)

    Those might be the best christmas pics I’ve seen. LOVE IT! And how big is the Bug getting?!

    (where did you get those pj’s?!)

  9. Amanda says:

    Please forgive me, but I am cracking up! You should send out a letter instead of a card and just print every single one of those on the back side of the paper.

    Those are hilarious!
    I love the one with the eye – totally original and I honestly think I would use that one
    It is just too funny and honest!
    WE did not do any pose this year
    We got home from church took a few pics and called it a day
    So much easier than last year when my usually patient husband was losing his temper
    So I guess it gets easier :)
    Much love

    You have to send out the last one. It’s the best of ‘em and it’s SO TRUE. Loves it.

  12. stacey says:

    that is why i take a lot of individual shots just in case the “pair” are not cooperating!! which is usually the case! despite the madness, they sure are cute!

  13. Oh Bee, this has totally cracked me up! Reminds me of us. ;)

  14. Totally our Christmas card experience as well. Really wanted to stick a fork in my eye midway through.

  15. ellen b says:

    hee, hee! I love these shots :0)

  16. Janelle says:

    Love. every. single. one. of. them!!! I think you should make a card that can include all those pics. Priceless and honest.

    I heart you!

  17. Kellyology says:

    I would love to get these on a Chrismas card vs. the typical happy smile pose. These are just more…well, true to life? Love them.

  18. pinkmommy says:

    I still don’t have a good picture. Today is the last day, or I am giving up and sending a no picture card.

  19. Heidi says:

    LOVE it! That last one is priceless. :)

  20. Annie says:

    Actually, I think a collage of those would make an awesome card!!!!

  21. Oh, these are GREAT!!

    These made me laugh out loud… nearly spit Diet Coke! I made my husband come look, too. These are so perfect because anyone with kids has had this experience!
