Christmas Card 2015

We have some friends in the Denver area that have a tradition of rotating photos for their Christmas card.  One year, it’s only the kids…the next, it’s kids and parents.  I liked that idea but the way it’s shaking out around these parts, it’s just easier to photograph the kids and call it cute.  That’s REALLY who people want to see anyway, isn’t it?!

Taking photos of a baby isn’t my strong suit and for a smiley little thing, she didn’t have too many smiles to give this day.

Wryder leaves a lot to be desired in the listen-and-obey department and was more interested in exploring the front yard than focusing on smiling or taking photos.

Thankfully, we have Sawyer who posed her way through 20+ shots to make my job a tick easier.  🙂

I’ve been in love with gold glitter…well, for forever…but I’ve used it a lot lately and our Christmas card was no different.

See?  Don’t ya love the gold confetti glitter, too?! 

I was thankful that I did end up with some good individual shots of each of my cuties…

Good gravy, she's beautiful...

My favorite (not in-the-moment favorite…but after-the-fact favorite) is the “blooper reel” that always has a way of manifesting itself.  Take a peak…

Yes, that's a cat...AGAIN this year...

Seriously, even the bad/frustrating/didn’t-go-like-I-planned moments are GREAT moments.  Thankful for this life…
