For those who look at my blog and are on my Christmas list you are seeing what you are getting this year, sorry if that ruins it for you?!Another Christmas time is here, wow, hard to believe when I look at this picture how old Katelynn has gotten and that I have a new little one that is 10 months old already. I look at our last year Christmas picture that is hung up and think, this was really a year ago, just Dan, Katelynn and me.
Of course another year of photos also brings another date of headache and a very impatient husband. Why, oh why must it be like this every year? I am still boycotting Portrait Innovations after the debacle of last years photos, so I finally procrastinated long enough and called Sears Photo Studio and was surprised to be able to get in last Sunday (the Vikings had a Sunday night game, ha ha). We got there early and were able to get in to take our photos on time and our photographer was very good with the kids. We took our family Christmas picture together and then I had them take one of the kids together and one of each of them. Already at this point Dan was ready to be done, seriously, it had only been a short period of time, but he should have known better, I had an outfit change for each kiddo. We did a clothing change for both kids. Katelynn went first and we took her "4" year old photos, she was a little cheese with the posing and the lady really got her laughing and smiling, her photos turned out awesome, what a little beauty she is (am I bias?) Junior was next and we got some really cute one's of him as well. We had a little trouble with the pose that Grandma Davids wanted for her wall, which is the babies on their tummy's looking up to the camera, we could hardly keep the little turkey that way. Every time we positioned him he would look at us laugh and then start army crawling as fast as he could away, we did the best we could Grandma! At this point you can imagine Dan, but I asked that she also take a picture of just me and Dan together and he said, "really, why?", men! Then I asked that we take another family picture in a fun pose that I could hang on my wall even after Christmas and Dan is wondering why can't we just hang the picture one up if that's the best one, again I say "Men"?! That was our last picture and then we had to wait for the pictures to load to their computer and make our decisions. I sent them walking around Sears and they did, but Dan still got very impatient and I hadn't realized that it would take that long afterward and they also have the set-up there to make changes to the pictures and create collages, he about had a heart attack on me in the photo studio. I got my pictures ordered and had them print out the Christmas one for me to take home.
Mental Note to Self: No matter where the pictures are being taken we will always take two vehicles so Dan and the kids can leave immediately after the photo shoot.
Side note: Is it bad that I straightened my 4 year-olds hair so it was "picture perfect"?
