Family Photo's are DONE!

This year I was really behind, with me heading to Boston I didn't plan so well and didn't get my family photos done, meaning I didn't get my cards out the day after Thanksgiving like I've done for years.

My amazing Friend Jennifer at Johansen Photography travels, she does amazing work and the best part AFFORDABLE!!!

As you know my previous post I was looking for the best family photos. We decided on two and we did those along with a few family photos!

They all were done in my front yard and in front of our tree.  And Thank God for Rick who had been working 2 jobs and had maybe 6 hours of sleep in the 3 days leading up to this shoot was such a GREAT sport!

Here's our Card:

Christmas Card time ... Ideas

I did a funny Christmas Card last year and think I'll do another one this year.  Some where not so pleased with my card choice but I thought it was funny and people knew I was joking. So now I'm on the hunt for our next design. I'm hoping to get our family photo's done before I head to Boston for business.

Last Years Card:

Some Fun options:

If we had more kids

This would be time consuming but fun

LOL maybe for a ecard

MAN if I could get the family to do this!!!

Maybe if I had photoshop

NOW this could be us at times

My photographer does have a hot cocoa stand made

This would be a fun one

Rick would like this one

 

A version of last years

THE WINNERS FOR THIS YEAR

Since we duct tapes the kids last year

This is a must for us this year!

And I think the whole family with this also

Do you do a Christmas Card?

Funny or just a normal card?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Holiday Cheer .... Funny Christmas Card

Each year I do the traditional card with Santa and all of us.  But this year I wanted to do something fun!  I so wanted to do the card that has me, Rick and the boys dressed up like the characters from Christmas Story.  BUT with little time with me leaving for Boston and trying to talk Rick into dressing up in a sweater vest and holding a leg lamp was not in my future.  So I searched Pinterest for ideas and found this funny one for "Silent Night".  You who know me know I have 2 VERY loud (but lovable) boys.  This was perfect, forgive me on not giving credit to who created I couldn't find the source, if you know let me know and I'll add a link to them.

What you Need:

Christmas PJ's

Christmas Lights (1 box)

Colorful or Seasonal Duct Tape (2 Rolls - 1 of each type)

Christmas backdrop is helpful

Wrap the hands (lightly NOT tight) with duct tap and add a piece to the mouth.  I gently put it on so it didn't hurt when it came off.  I went to my mom's since she had her decorations all up and it looked picture perfect.  I took a few and then went to PicMonkey a great FREE site to add the wording.  I then went to Walmart and found a 5x7 I could add my photo to.  The saying below was a letter to Santa Perfect!

My Photo with just wording.

NO kids hurt in the making, they could talk the whole time believe me they NEVER stop.  It was a fun picture, I hope I get some laughs and no nasty grams over it.

Do you do funny cards?

What did you do this year?
