Christmas Card Outtakes

I really wanted this to be our family Christmas card.  I really really did.  Because.

1. It is perhaps a more realistic representation of our family than what I will chose to have made into a card.  And...

2. No one EVER sends out bad photos of their family.  So...much...fun!

Honestly the truer version would have had Derek squinting and me with a more prominent double chin...but my aging self esteem can't go that far.

So here is our honest family Christmas photo and a few super fun outtakes....


 You see my son is crying and about to blow a gasket because we asked him to do the impossible...sit cross legged.  And My daughter...well she is apparently terrified.
 

  
Through his gritted teeth he is saying...."I can't take this"
 
Love this level of enthusiasm...This would make a pretty good card too.  My son looks like this (or the face above) any time things aren't going  EXACTLY his way....



 
 
Actually this would make the best card...Cleo is always camera ready.

Sweetness...
 
These faces are what keep me from making the long drive to animal control....


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This photo shoot didn't turn out quit how I wanted...but still cute.
