trying to get a halfway decent picture for christmas cards
=
fail.
case in point:
hunter thought his sister looked like a kitty-cat with her hat on; he kept pointing at her and saying "meow!"
and these were the best ones. oh well, at least the scenery was pretty. better luck tomorrow.
thinking about christmas cards (and our christmas card tradition) just thrills me; the most wonderful time of the year is upon us!

I love the scowl one. That's the one I'll be looking for in my mailbox come December. I loved all your pics -- there's some beauty in real life, my friend!!
Have a wonderful Friday.
NO WAY. I was commenter number one.
Today is an awesome day. :)
haha, we're taking our family pictures on Sunday, and I'm super nervous!! we have a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old... here's hoping they cooperate!!!
they are all nice. The scenery is beautiful!
haha! welcome to my world! i have plan a b c and d for our photo for this weekend!
btw ...i thought #3 was the winner! loved how the big brother was grabbing daddy's face!
LOL! You found the most beautiful places to take your pictures and you and your hubby look great. The kids are just cute - it doesn't matter that they aren't looking or smiling. I think your Christmas card recipients would enjoy getting any of these pics on a card. :)
Oh Carissa...I so remember those days. It will get better. What gorgeous places you've been...wow!!! I liked number 3. Looks the most natural.
We seriously don't have any pictures of all of us looking at the camera and smiling at the same time! It's such a challenge getting family shots!
I think they are all good :) I love the one with the scowl face...too funny! Listen, at least you attempted, that is better than most. And the scenery is truly beautiful :)
I actually like number 3...you have such a beautiful family :)
LOL that is totally how it goes with little ones girlie and my Kelcee is 4 now and um we still have that issue LOL....I love the scenery and all the pics....they are cute and real and you should totally use one....
Love Sage's hat BTW and she is looking more like Hunter everyday...so presh!!

Summer :)
Isn't it so frustrating how they kiddos are so cute, but as soon as that camera comes out they immediately refuse to cooperate!
Still think your pics are adorable, even if they aren't looking at the camera! :)
Ahh the Christmas picture. We decided to just do the kids this year and the day we picked was SO cold outside. I think there are a few that turned out well...good thing we only need one. Your kids are still so adorable, scowl and all :)
If it makes you feel any better - I personally love family photos with a little personality, so I think these are great!
Awwwwww!!! I love them all!!!
The beauty is in the imperfections!!!!
Have a wonderful day,
xoxo
haha, these are still really cute! You should use them :)
Aww, how cute!!
AWE!!!! you guys are SUCH a cute... cute... family! eeeepp... I'm only 15. *blushes* but I hope to have a family at least that pretty. :)
Love,

I totally know what you mean, but as an outsider I think each of those pictures are more than perfect for cards! Love them.

too funny! They pictures are still cute and the scenery is AMAZING!! Hope picture time goes a little better next time!:)
I love your pictures!! Out takes are sometimes the best!! I am feeling your pain! We are going to TRY to take our Christmas card picture within the next few days and I am terrified!!!!
i think the pictures are still super cute!! you could totally use any one of them! :)
you should just make a collage and then write "merry freakin' christmas"...LOL.
hahaha they are all so funny and cute! We are going to do ours next weekend...starting early just in case!!
She is a precious little kitty thats for sure haha!
Any of those would be perfect for a card - scowls and all! Noah and Noelle were both scowling in last year's family picture...oh well, such is life! I *love* your Christmas card tradition! Beautiful - and totally something that's being implemented pronto in our family! xoxo, Kelly
Love it, love it, and COMPLETELY get it. I'm not expecting decent Christmas photos for at least 3-4 more years. But you're right, the scenery is gorgeous! :)
I might be crazy, but I think those pictures are gorgeous!!
I'm your newest follower and I just wanted to say your page is great, so creative!
I love the name and 'theme' of lowercase letters.
Bless your heart! We had our "session" last Sunday afternoon and mine and Hubby's with the Grans really turned out quite well, but they had their Mommies behind the camera and their Daddy's were busy making them look the right direction and smile. It worked! Perhaps you need some help on the next session. But, while these may not be exactly what you are looking for, they are beautiful photos of a precious family.
Blessings to you dear!
I love them! Any of those would make great Christmas cards!!! Plus the kids will love to have them to look back on when they're older and laugh at themselves!!!
I love the pictures. I love the one of Hunter grabbing daddy's face! I love them all!
Haha, but at least everyone still looks cute!!
Your family is so beautiful! You guys look like you are having a ball, although I understand how stressful taking family pics can be. We had some taken this year and I can hardly wait to see the outcome :)
Ha! Ha! I don't even try anymore. LOL Love the pics though! Super cute!
Oh my...no matter what, the backdrop couldn't be more beautiful! If that's not proof of God's greatness, I'm not sure what is! I'm sure your Christmas card will be adorable!
awww carissa!! i think any of those pictures would work out well!! you are sooo funny!! the scowl is soo cute!!
What are you talking about? These are absolutely adorable and I love candid photos.
What a beautiful family:)
This is hilarious! You are so pretty and your family is so handsome and you look SUPER fabulous!
