Christmas Card Fail 2010

Every single year it's the same thing.  I try and try and try again.  It's all for that perfect Christmas card.  This year was no exception.
Bubbles as Santa beards?  Fail.
Literally right out of bed, I forced everyone to sit around the tree and smile.  The hams managed this:
And then?  By some miraculous alignment of the stars, it happened.  The perfect family photo.
And, without further ado, the Christmas card that I always work so hard to achieve.
And, indeed, what a wonderful world.

These were overall much better than year's past. I do like the attempt at Santa beards.

What a lovely picture! That is a perfect family photo.

I always want to do a card with pictures, and then never do one. Perhaps next year ;)

Love it!!! You're so smart too (God, don't you love when people tell you that?) because you got a picture of you in there too. My mother begged me to do that next year...I will honor her request!

Your card turned out perfect. I couldn't come up with a single all-of-us picture this year. I will have to try harder next year.

Wow you did it! Got the perfect Christmas card! It looks great, but actually - I love all the "failed" ones too - when you have girls that cute, there just is no fail. ;)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the card. It is even better in person. It is perched on my mantle, and I smile every time I see it.

I rather like the next to last picture. Tot is such a ham :)
