How many takes does it take to make a Christmas card?
Day 1: 14 takes, no good
Day 2: 62 takes
#16: pretty good, but let's try for a better one (boy's a bit Yoda-like, girl's glasses a bit low, picky-picky, i know)...
#20: dog not looking, kids cracking up...
#30: ok, but girl has shirt issues...
#32: dog not cooperating, girl annoyed...
…really wanted dog in the picture (really, really wanted whole family in a certain other location, but didn’t plan ahead – my fault!), but decided to try with just the kids…
#44: finally chosen as the winner
I must not forget to mention the self-induced online card ordering fiasco (yes, I admit I should have just let the photographer husband handle it using the normal tried and true and better method). Don’t be surprised if we do digital greetings from now on!
Who started the whole Christmas card photo thing anyway?!?
