[Princesa's Mama]

I was going to take Sarah and Sam in and get their pictures taken for a Christmas card when Sam broke out with lesions on his face (I had a cold sore and he caught the virus). On Friday I noticed that his lip was starting to swell up so I knew that I needed to work fast. I can only touch up so much, after all!
I dressed the kids in matching outfits, grabbed the camera and tried to pose them standing next to each other in front of the Christmas tree (ha, ha, ha!) NO! NO! NO! Sarah cried as she tugged away. Sam had more important things to do also and off he went leaving me with a picture of the dog's tail wagging in front of the tree!!
I tried setting them in their little rocking chairs and still no pictures. I decided to separate them and take the pictures individually and maybe try to merge them together somehow!!
I then pulled out the heavy artillery (suckers) and got them to at least sit next to each other in relative peace, although there was the occasional admonition for Sam to stop pulling Sarah's hair and for Sarah to quit hitting her brother.
I did get a couple of cute pictures but maybe I should put in the bloopers and show my friends and relatives the REAL life with a couple of the cutest toddlers around!

I love the one of them slumped in the chair together! That is too funny and too cute!

Here are a couple of ones that turned out pretty cute. I may get some HELP and try again!! LOL

Those are too cute.............I love, love, love the one of them slumped over in the chairs. You have to use that one. Maybe do a card with several pics on it.

Both your kiddos are sooo cute!!!! The pictures are great. I love the one with the dogs tail and the one of the slumped over in the chair. Also, the last two you posted are GREAT!!!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Hi!

Oh my gosh...what cute pics!

If you think taking pictures is hard work NOW...wait until they are teenagers! I did my holiday pics with the four kiddies a few weeks ago ( 16, 11, 8 and 3 years old!) and I am still taking headache meds today. YIKES!!! Every year I ask myself, "Is this really worth it?" but them I look back at previous years pictures and just KNOW it is!

Sarah and Sam are very cute! Thanks for sharing!

They are so cute! I can't believe how big they both are!

I love the slumped over in the chairs shot too!
Maybe you can do a card with a few photos.
They are gorgeous!

Those are so cute! I agree that the second one is TOO cute!! It looks like Sam is outgrowing his sister! They almost look like twins!

The ones by themselves are adorable... I would do a collage.. so adorable!

I love, love, love the one where they are slumped in their chairs!! Use it. It is so honest...like Mom are you seriously wanting us to dress up and pose for these pictures????

Those are just WONDERFUL! I think you could do a great card with a mixture of those picutres! Real life!

Just as an FYI, there is at least one company that will print multiple pictures on one card if you need to go to that. After much trauma, I ended up getting a great individual shot of each of my kids and put those on the card instead of a group shot.

Cute, you've certainly captured real life!

[Guatmom2006]

That's hilarious! If I were you, I'd use the one of them slumped in the chairs. "Okay, Mom, take the stupid Christmas picture...." Too funny!

[mommywannabee]

I love the one where they are slumped in the chair as well! Too funny!
