Christmas Card Outtakes

My goal for tonight was to get our Christmas card pictures ordered.

Well, I'm still sitting here trying to decide which one to pick!

The afternoon that we had them taken was coooold. CC was not feeling well. AJ was so little that I hated having him out in the air. My big kids would smile and then run off again to play in the dirt. It was like herding cattle. Plus I have control issues and hated not being behind the camera. I was yelling, and laughing too, at the craziness of it all. None of them turned out perfect but darnit we are going to have a Christmas card this year because I picked out the clothes and put forth huge effort to get everyone ready to go!

In the meantime please enjoy some outtakes. These outtakes turned out great!



Peek a boo Lexi!



CC has had enough!

CC eats dirt while Macey watches.


Look over there- there's a birdie!


Poor AJ's head got a little bit dropped that time.

Big hugs.



Just chillin'


Macey's attitude caught on film.


Macey's face gets scratched.



LOOK CC!!!


I love baby AJ.

I think you should do a collage picture of these all and send it! All these are hilarious - because I think we all can relate to how HARD it is to get a decent pic with kids! So cute, and so funny! Love them!!!

I am being totally honest here...they are all beautiful and funny in their own way.

That one of CC hugging AJ made me teary. I love his little necktie, well, I love all of the outfits you chose.

You have a darling family.

Denae, Love your outfits! love the NorCal backdrop! love looking at the beautiful kiddos...all FIVE of them--wow! Have to admit that I got a sick pit in my stomach seeing your newest darlings alone in the road. I KNOW it is just me.Sometimes images are too symbolic for me. I realize I'm just not "artsy" enough though.
