Pictures that will NOT make it into the Christmas card ...

So, I've been trying to get the kids to take a half decent picture together that I can use for Christmas cards. Notice that my aspirations are not grand, as I am just looking for something half decent! Yet, as anyone with small children will attest to, this is much easier said than done! I thought I would share some of my failure attempts here ...
Nobody's looking, and Audrey's sneering ...

WHOA! WAY too close up ...

Yes, I lowered myself to bribing with food; the upside is that they actually cooperate, but the downside is that the kids are busy chewing and eating while I am trying to snap a picture ...

Ummm, this is pretty self-explanatory ...

In this one, Audrey has a candy cane stain across her mouth, and you can actually see pretzels hanging out of Carter's mouth - ew...

Kind of cute, but WAY cheesy, and again, we have that pretzel issue ...

So I did finally get a half decent one, you will be happy to know ... and it only took 3 days and 10 candy canes! (hahaha)

Cute! Yes, pictures are hard to come by. Not all the ones from Chantel's party turned out the way I wanted.

I still have trouble getting a good shot. We held a Christmas card photo session as well and managed to get a couple of decent ones. I think WinkFlash still has them 40% off now if you are ordering photo cards.
