I am happy to report that at this late date of December 4th....our Christmas cards have finally been RUSH ordered and with any luck, they will be mailed and delivered before Christmas Eve!!
You have all witnessed me struggle and majorly obsess over putting together our cards this year!! In fact, I need to thank all of you who took the time to help me by leaving comments and emailing me your opinions. I especially want to thank one very special and talented lady who has a tremendous heart and has gone out of her way to help me....you know who you are(:D) Your time and assistance was so greatly appreciated....I can't wait to meet you in person....hopefully that will happen at the end of January!!
As you could well imagine, I took a couple hundred shots of the kids that were not usable and need to be deleted. Now that the quest for the perfect picture is over and I can breathe easy, I have had some time to go through and clean up the files. In doing so, I came across some photos that donned some pretty funny faces....take a look.....

I actually love this picture and would have used it for the card, but I must have moved the camera because it came out very blurry!!
Hope you all had a couple of laughs at the expense of my children.....I know I sure did...those are some funny faces......makes me wonder what was going through their minds at the time!!

Have a great weekend!!
Oh, I also meant to say what a BEAUTIFUL location, love the stone!!
Lisa,
Congratulations on the getting the pictures/xmas cards completed!! You are further than me!! I am trying not to stress to much about it. Love the pictures, especially the last one. Looks like they were having alot of fun!

Hey girly! Your two kiddos are so funny! I loved the faces that you got from these two...priceless : ) Thanks for sharing!

LOVE the pictures..
It is pretty amazing how many pictures we have to take to get the right one..
We will be doing our pictures this weekend..
HUGS..
See you Sunday..
Have FUN...
I love the last one! I misread your sentence explaining... I looked at the first four photos, then backtracked to reread. And I thought "whew!" because at first I believed I was supposed to pick one of these for the card. That's what I get for reading while exhausted! LOL.
Okay..I just love that last picture..I love it!!!

They are so beautiful! Ones to cherish! Adorable!

Merry Christmas!

I am sure the photo you chose was fantastic! It would be funny to send out a few of the "bloopers." My cousin once sent out a photo of her little girl in the bathroom (she was being potty trained at the time) with the caption "Hap-pee Holidays!" I am crossing my fingers that that one stayed in the family!

Lisa,
Since I'm sure we aren't ALL on your Christmas card list, you'll have to make sure you scan it so we can all appreciate it. :)
Such cuties with our without funny faces.
Blessings,
Tisha
Also hope you'll be posting your Christmas card. I love all your pics, some of these are priceless! Have a great weekend Lisa.
Oh my goodness! These bloopers are sooo funny! I especially love the first one and the one where Nick is blowing Sarah in the face.
I think you did a great job on these pictures and I can't wait to see your card!
So many great photos. Isn't it fun to see what the lens captures in a split second?
That last one is totally adorable!
LOVE these outtakes!! They are just so cute & that last one is just sooo precious!!
Hmmmm...I better get my cards done now! Yikes!
Thanks for stopping by too! :)
That pained look on Sarah's face in the 2nd one is how I envision you looking each time you finished an unsuccessful photo shoot:O)
I hope we'll get to see the finished product once you've mailed them out?
Two and four and my favorites! I love the look on Nick and Sarah's little faces as it remind me of two little one's I know :D
Ladybug hugs,
;D
I love that first one! Those faces!
Definitely the bloopers make some of the best humour you can find.
Glad you finally got them pulled together.
I'd originally started my blog as a way to connect with relatives all be it I don't think a one stops by but my sister who lives in the same town as I.
Lisa,
You cannot miss with those gorgeous children!!!! I am sure your card will be beautiful.
Kim
I too love the last picture! Poor Sarah's red nose in some of the others :(
I cannot wait to see the final card! Do not worry, you are WAY ahead of me :) Have a great weekend!

Lisa your are sooooo funny! I actually love all your photos, the last is my favorite. I don't see the blurr, but maybe that's because of my usual state of mind lately LOL!

We don't have a good picture either, I'm going to try again this weekend.
Great photos. The last one is adorable. I'm waiting for my son Nick to return for Christmas break so we can take a quick picture then mass produce it for our card ~ I'm way behind this year! Where has the time gone?
Have a great weekend,
Jo
This is what I love about you and your blog, you always keep it so real. Love that you post your out takes... even though they are still adorable...esp. the last one.
I'm a little stressed because I have yet to take a photo let alone order the cards. It must happen tomorrow!!! :) Thanks for the inpsiration. Hope you have a great weekend!
Just love those pictures...all of them! Beautiful kids! I actually took our photo in the fall this yr, but don't have them sent out yet...yikes! I have the stamps, does that count???
Seriously Lisa, can these 2 cuties take a bad picture? I do love the last photo.
The last one is a real treasure!!! Blurry or not I would use it.
OH my friend, I have missed checking in on your blog (after all it is one of my favorites). I love seeing that all is well~ Your babies are as beautiful as ever!!!
By the way, will you be posting any Holiday recipes? I need to get my menu together!
BIG HUGS from a friend that has missed you MUCH!!!
Good for you! That is a definite accomplishment to get the Christmas card and etc. done and off in the mail! My husband is always so relieved to have this out of the way! (And I am so glad that he does this every year!) Those are still really cute pictures, even with the funny faces they made! We have so many of those...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)

How cute!! I always find that the pictures that didn't make the cut are the ones I love years later... those lost expressions you forget they made at that age!
Too funny... I'm working on getting mine mailed too.. so behind this year.
Casey

LOVE the "out-takes". Priceless funny faces. Isn't it amazing how many photos we take to get that one perfect shot???
Jen
