Christmas Card Pics…

A couple of weeks ago after church in the morning, we dressed the kiddos in their Christmas attire, hopped on the golf cart, and and headed over to the country club for a quick little photoshoot.  The mission was to get a Christmas Card worthy pic.  You guys know how much I dread getting the “perfect” pic every year – it’s so stressful!  This year, I must admit, seemed to be much easier than those in the past.  Minus a lot of silliness that started about five minutes into the shoot, the kiddos did a great job and I was able to walk away with some decent pics.  I’ve also included a few from our picture choices that we took for DeDe’s Christmas cards.

And DeDe’s:

The winner – and this was the very last picture that we took!  They weren’t quite as cooperative on this day -

Here we go yet AGAIN!

I am behind yet again – so here is one of those dreaded, jam packed, probably leaving out a lot post – BUT it’s better than nothing right?  This is the remainder of the month of October for ya!  It was full of Halloween Carnivals, Mommy’s bday, costume contests, and trick or treating – oh what fun!  I’m attempting to play catch up before our big week of Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping, Mallory’s big birthday and going to see The Nutcracker – woohoo!

 

They’re a little out of order but oh well :)

Mastering the Hook’em!
