last year it took us about 100 shots to get this family gem:
look at that sweet boy.
the years before that were pretty easy...
2007. 2008. 2009.
taking christmas card photos with an almost 2 year old who can't sit still even for a millisecond... impossible. this year there weren't nearly as many takes b\c there was nothing to take a picture of... but we got a really cute candid photo of dave & myself... too bad we couldn't photoshop baby in...
aren't we sweet?
almost every photo we took that ended up having ian in it captured him either screaming, trying to get away, or moving so much that he's just a little blur...
but we did come up with these 2 gems...
so
so, i sent these pictures to my friend mel for her opinion on what i should choose... and she turned it into this magic...
i really need to learn photoshop....
on the santa front- things were also different this year with an almost 2 year old... walk with me down memory lane?
we weren't sure how ian would react to santa- we knew with him there would probably be no in between- it would be either love or hate. saturday night we had dinner at chick fil a and the santa cow made an appearance- ian was in love- he was waving at him, giving high fives, mooing... so we thought the santa thing might go okay...
giant cow costume santa = cool. real guy as santa = not so cool
not so much... poor ian. dave & i were in hysterics... the things we do to our kids. oh well, better luck next year. of course, he does nothing now but walk around the house saying "ho ho ho."
do you do christmas cards?
do you take your little one to see santa? was their reaction as you expected?
