Suffice it to say, my family made it about 10 minutes before giving up. I got a decent shot (notice "A" as in singular and "decent" as in not enviable) but the rest were in the dud category. Corynn was a grouchy snowman, Adele' pulled a Marilyn moment, Judah snuck in his trusty pocketknife, Ruby photo-bombed and Andrew stood like a steadfast tin soldier.
The duds, in my opinion, are also the most funny- so, because laughter is the best medicine... here you go.
Swallow up!
(I have to say I may go with the last one because Adele' is just the cutest thing in it...and everyone has REAL smiles which are better than fake ones any old day.)

HA! Loved it! (You, by the way Missy, looked like a million bucks the whole time. And I love those earrings...)
ReplyDeleteMaybe your Christmas card could have a little sequence of the photos :-) Your children are so sweet!
ReplyDeletealso love the last one even the dog got in the action
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the last one, but the 3rd one is good, too! Your family is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think there are some great ones. I like the actions ones where people don't look so stoic! And you look great Rebecca!!!! The best one to me is the one with Judah doing his oval mouth. It's great.
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, are GORGEOUS! And I liked the last one and the third one the best too.
ReplyDeleteI can sympathize. I take a Christmas photo each year with my six grandchildren, ages seven months to four years. We have done three elves in a tub, children all tucked in their bed with Mrs. Claus, and children popping out of gift boxes. I have never had one, perfect photo. Mostly, they make folks laugh. This year, I have great plans for the nativity scene. We are shooting it on Saturday. I have made costumes for Mary, Joseph, two shepherds, a sheep and an angel. Wish me luck, please.
ReplyDeleteaaack! my laptop won't let me watch this without an update of some sort, and who knows how to do that stuff?!
ReplyDeleteon the positive side, just means more time to re-soak up yesterday's Golden Boy!
Haha! Love it! The last one is wonderful! Looks like you had great fun--freezing all the way!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Every single one. You my lady are one hot momma! Love your outfit. Love your hair. Love your earrings. Love your boots. Seriously you are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to badly to get fall pictures but it never did happen. Now I should be thinking like you and figuring out a time to do a picture for Christmas cards. I am such a procrastinator!
I loved the last one. So happy, and natural. They were all fun though. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!

Love, love, love it!!! It's too bad you can't send that little video as your Christmas card. It is beautiful! I literally laughed out loud at the dog and that last picture is priceless! We miss you all so much!
ReplyDeleteyou look STUNNING in that yellow jacket! all the photos are actually perfection, full of personality!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is great!
ReplyDeleteOh Rebecca, this was great! :) It's so hard to pick, I LOVE the one with Adele's hand in front of her face, but I also love her dress flying up and Judah's O Mouth too! That's going to be a tough one! Thanks for sharing this, it is adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteThe last one!
ReplyDeleteI did love the 3rd one where Judah is saying OH....but the last is cute too..
ReplyDeleteyou look fabulous..and I love the colour scheme...we just did ours...and like you said..you have about 5-10 mins usually....and the best shots...were after the set up ones as a family...the 3 kids lying down..and the toddler laughing a belly laugh..which made my 12 yr old do a true laugh (rare with aspergers) ..so I chose the best 3 shots....but the colours were all icky...I hate the colours in Virginia this late....everything where I took the pic was grey. oh well. Hubby always wonders why I do this to myself...it ages me like 10 years.. Next year I want to do them in AUGUST at the ocean....if I can remember to build a sand snowman....
I love that last one...
ReplyDeleteWow you guys are great. Now I kinda regret not posting the "keeper" to see if you would send that out or the 'blopper' ones! What's a girl to do?
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all the compliments on how *I* look. You all know how to make a girl feel perdy!
Rosemary- those sound precious! When I no longer have children at home, I am ABSOLUTELY going to skeef my grandchildren for pictures like that! Good luck with Saturdays shoot!
MapleleafMom- I feel your pain. I always say "AUGUST!" too and then- never do it. And then, wonder WHY I didn't when the 'shoot' is a flop. Some year I will wisen up (I hope!) PS. A sand snowman sounds SO awesome.
HAHAHA! CUTE! I love how Andrew looks EXACTLY the same in each photo...pretty impressive! :P Great color choices and I echo the pp...you look like a million bucks, woman! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my.
ReplyDeleteThese are some pretty impressive photos!
You all look just wonderful and this is going to make the cutest card!
