This is our very first family Christmas Card ever! (Thanks to Shutterfly for the inspiration, Oh, you’ll know why it is our first when you check out our past family photo disasters!)
The funniest thing about this card? We are standing in front of Grant’s cousin Michelle’s nursery – Lakeview Nursery, look at all those beautiful Christmas trees! Yet sadly, we’ve had an artificial tree for about four years. Oh, and you know the debate about white lights verses colored? We’ve had so many strands burn out on our piece of junk tree, that it’s a mass of burnt out lights, whites, and colored!
And now, for the best Family Photo that honestly should have made it onto a Christmas card……..
Here we are in 2005, just one big happy family! Forget about Ryan’s obvious distress, James’ pants aren’t even on all the way! See his diaper? I should have sent this one into Ellen.
But wait, if you think mine was bad, get a load of these!
Aren’t these the best expressions ever? Imagine getting this card in the mail! This is what Ryan would have done, had he known what it meant!
What about your family? Do you take family photos for your Christmas Cards?
Great Christmas cards!
It brings back a lot of memories. We didn’t do any family Christmas cards, but we did a few of the boys alone. I remember how hard it was to get them both to smile at the same time.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! I like your photo! I hate it when people just send of photo card of the kids
I love looking at everyones photo Christmas Cards. I received some really adorable ones this year. I especially love when they put their little animals in the photo too! My daughter loves to visit Awkward Family Photos, it is so funny! I think your 2005 Photo is so cute!! I like to take photo Christmas cards and try to add my parents in the photo as well for our relatives. Happy Holidays!
Your photo looks very nice. We take family photos for the Christmas cards, but not every year.
Your card is adorable… but the 2005 one will really bring back memories for a long time. We have a similar ‘crying’ picture of my daughter sitting on Santa’s lap.
No we don’t but some of those are hilarious!
haha i saw these pics on a talk show the other day! hilarious post
Great holiday cards! Have a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
Your pics are lovely! Those others – not so much, but soo funny!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to comment! Merry Christmas and have a happy, healthy 2012!
Oh, those cards are great! And your family photo is wonderful! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Happy New Year, Kristi!
Oh this years Christmas card came out great! The rest are hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. Have a blessed new year.
Love the Christmas cards…. you all made some great memories for generations to come!
Your photo cards turned out very nicely! When my children were young we couldn’t afford photo cards so I bought a 10 pack of Christmas cards and that was our one time a year we had our pictures taken at K-Mart. I’d put a photo in each and we’d hand deliver them with cookies and sing a few carols at their doorstep. The extra pictures were “amusing” lol
