The Yearly Christmas Card Family Photo

Have you started thinking about Christmas Cards yet?

I know it's kind of early...but you have to start thinking about these things early!

Do you send family photos in your cards?

I always plan on it...but it usually gets put on the back burner...and I never end up following through!

My daughter likes to send a family picture in her Christmas card...

and I am her lucky photographer.

By lucky I don't necessarily mean, I am lucky to go take their pictures....though I do enjoy it...but what I mean is... if I take 200 pictures...I am lucky to get one or two that are usable.

Tomorrow is the day...

So...I went to Pinterest...you know...to get some idea's on some family Christmas photo poses.

I saw some "traditional" photo's

you know the kind...nice family photo in front of the Chritmas Tree or the fireplace

with matching pajama's

which by the way I could never, ever in a million years get my hubby to agree too!

creative...

like who is taking this picture...and why are they not being reflected into the bulb???


simple and cute...

acrobatic....

I love this...but jeeze...I think that would take some practice...
and quite possibly a broken bone or two!

mom and dad kissing photo's while kids look on....

or don't

This next one I love...
but conditions have to be just right on photo day!!

source

and that just never happens around here!

kids gazing at beautiful tree's...

So many many great ideas out there...cute...goofy...precious...traditional...

THEN

you have my friends...

and yes I do claim them as friends...

wacky friends...

weird...yes...sometimes

hicks...well...yes...but the very best kind!!

will do anything for a laugh...

I just have to share their last 3 Christmas card photo's

The 1st year, it was cute, funny...and just a little weird...

you might have to look close to even notice it...
cause the clothes...well you very well might catch them dressed like this any time...they do live on a farm...and have horses and chickens...but it you look real close you see the BUBBA teeth!
The BUBBA teeth to become a common thread in all Christmas photos from here on out...


Now on to year number 2

BUBBA teeth...
check...
real snow...
check...
real water..
check
really cold...
check, check, check...
receiving the Christmas card...
Priceless!


On to Number 3...



are you ready...




what is in store for us in Christmas Card No. 3

YES...
that is a REAL horse...
walking into the front door of their REAL home...
and 
YES
that is a REAL rooster 
sitting their on her lap...
and 
YES these people are wacky...
and YES
they will do anything for a REAL laugh!

no  GUILT by association PLEASE...
...because I unlike THEM would NEVER allow my HORSE to
come into MY HOUSE

without first making him take his hat off!
