Christmas Card Outtakes

Well.. our Christmas Cards finally made it out the door, so now I can share my photo experience with you all :) If you haven't received it yet, I'm sure it got lost by the post office, and hopefully you will get one next year (no, seriously, I'm sorry but I don't send cards to blog stalkers... I just didn't have enough this year!!)

Anyway, I had a lot of fun trying to get the perfect picture for our Christmas Card. My lovely husband wanted to do a 'joke' card this year with a ridiculous photo and a funny tag line. I told him no over and over, but since I didn't have a great alternative, he was winning the battle. Well, one morning I decided I would force the boys to take a cute pic. It took about 35 minutes and a whole lot of pictures, but we finally ended up with a pretty cute card. I thought I could share some of the rejected shots with you. (Please remember, I'm not creative at all and I'm new to taking pictures, so forgive me if you are a photography expert :))
