Christmas Cards

This past Monday we had a little photo shoot in hopes of getting a great picture of the girls for the Christmas card this year.

I found an AMAZING deal on the internet through Fuji. I could get 50 cards for $3.19.

Yes, that's it!!

At first the deal was 50 cards for free, but the demand became so high they started charging for shipping and handling.

The deadline was November 30th and unfortunately I waited until the last minute to take pics of the girls.

Here is Ruthie doing a test shot to see how the lighting looked.

I will spare you the {at least} 50 photos before this that we took. Reagan was not in the mood to have her picture taken. We resorted to Ruthie feeding her puffs in the picture.

We would tell her to put her arms down really quick and smile. Then we would try and get Reagan's attention {and her hands away from her mouth} only to have her start crying, again.

We moved onto candy canes as bribery for smiles.

Does this photo give you any clue as to whether we had success or not?!

Unfortunately, the "best" picture of the bunch I deleted b/c it was so hilariously terrible that I knew we would never use it. Then I regretted having done that b/c it would have been great as a keepsake.

All I can tell you is, the tree is part of the picture.

Oh, and that there is one thing in the picture that will drive me crazy for years to come. Every time I think about it, it drives me batty!

You'll have to wait to see the final product though, the cards are in the mail!
