Yesterday we took our family Christmas card photo. I know most people wait until they have kids to start the tradition of sending out a family picture, but we decided that Jemima counts, and began sending out pictures our very first Christmas together. I'll wait until we've actually sent out the cards before I post the picture we're going to be using, but I thought I'd post these funny "outtakes" just for the heck of it. Here my husband was testing to see if he had time to set the self-timer, run to the couch, and look comfortable before it went off, while I re-arranged the knick knacks on the shelves.
Standing back to see how the shelf looks for about the hundredth time. In case you're wondering what I'm wearing on top and why it looks different in every photo, it's a dress that I hiked up to make it look like a shirt in the pictures:)
Playing with Jemima while the hubs plays with the camera settings.
Taking a break to make some lunch.
Sometimes, no matter how fast you move, you just can't pull it together before the self-timer goes off.
Do other childless folks out there send pictures at Christmastime, or are we pretty much the only ones?
My husband and I send out cards of just the two of us. We don't have a lot of family that lives far away...we just like pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe've been dying to do Christmas cards, but decided to wait until we were more 'adult' so-to-speak (in a house, with kids, married or at least engaged). Until then, we stick to e-mails and phone calls.
ReplyDeleteI love all the outtakes you posted! Especially the ones where you see those shoes (boots?) - they look great!
I do Christmas cards EVERY Christmas. I personally love the ones you have posted! They are REAL. Not too posed and simple. I love the first picture. It's quite whimsical ~ Thanks for sharing!!! Can't wait to see the final one chosen :)
ReplyDeletejust adorable! the first one cracks me up.. i would frame that and put it in the bathroom if i were you ;)
ReplyDeletewe send them out too :) it's a fun tradition :)
ReplyDeleteevery year since we got our first puppy!!!!! They used to be just us with the dog, but as our animal family has grown we send out ones that look a lot like your out takes!!
ReplyDeleteWell then it's official, we aren't the only weirdos! Or should I say, we aren't the only vain ones! Haha:) Thanks for the feedback, guys!
