I had every intention of getting our Christmas cards out by December 1st this year, but unfortunately, that just didn't happen.
We tried SO hard to get a good picture of everyone together, but as I'm sure most of you know, it's next to impossible to get an almost 2.5 year old and a 7 month old to cooperate.
We made several attempts and I pulled out every trick in the book. I would hoot and holler and stand on my head if it meant that we could get a decent picture.
Spoiler Alert:
It didn't happen.
So if y'all are waiting on our Christmas card to arrive in your mailbox, just go ahead and plan for it around 12/01/12....
I will probably just post it on the blog this year instead of sending them out (tacky and totally lazy on my part, but...'tis the season!) :)
In the meantime....here are a few outtakes from our Christmas Photo Sesh:
(and we may or may not have someone making a cameo in these photos)

I should have known better than to attempt a picture right after the girls woke up from naps (hence the blank stares) and during Sully's break time (hence the phone and dr. pepper)

It's gotta be a sign that the photo shoot is over when the participants are using each other as pillows.
