Christmas greetings from us to you. Or not.

So I am really trying to get Christmas cards out this year. Our attempts at family pictures before Micah left didn't turn out very well. Plan B was to have Micah hold up a "Merry" sign and Skylar and I take a picture with a "Christmas" sign and put them together on a card.

Micah got his half done without a problem.....


Skylar and I aren't fairing so well. We were all dressed up from church, so after getting the tripod set up, we had a photo shoot. In the first set of 10 pictures she is doing the scary smile....


Then she grabbed a nativity set while I was resetting the camera, and my attempts at hiding it behind the sign were futile....

Not working......
I even bribed her to keep going by letting her open a Christmas present somewhere around picture 40. And finally frustration set in as I realized it just wasn't going to happen. (She's obviously enjoying the fact that she's frustrating me).

Out of 50 pictures those were the best of the bunch. So maybe there won't be a Christmas card this year. I'm running out of time and not feeling very motivated to dress us both up again. I had to tackle her and pin her down screaming to get those pigtails in. It was exhausting.

Merry Christmas everyone. Consider yourself greeted.
