2013 Christmas Card Rejects
Having a late Thanksgiving means December really sneaks up on a person. It also stresses me out a bit. I usually feel like I have the week after Thanksgiving to get the Christmas photos taken, to get the Christmas card designed and ordered, and to get The Maestro to start writing the Christmas letter. And then they’re (hopefully) ready to go by the first week of December, except for the fact that I procrastinate getting the envelopes addressed. Why is that the worst part?
But when December 1st happens during Thanksgiving weekend I feel like I have lost an entire week of Christmas preparation! Which is because I actually have lost an entire week of Christmas preparation.
So today, I decided we’d use whatever I got for the Sunday photo as our Christmas card photo. And getting a “perfect” Christmas photo out of my three children is no easy task.
I blame The Maestro.
He says shocking things about which of Ross Lynch’s body parts he loves the most (his elbow).
He does hilarious dances which may or may not involve a whole lotta booty shaking.
Or he acts like a televangelist with a very loud and, according to Bria, a very EMBARRASSING voice.
Of course, it isn’t always his fault. Because sometimes Bria sticks her tongue out at me.
And sometimes she imitates a velociraptor (or something). Which, according to the look on Sophia’s face, is even more embarrassing than imitating a televangelist.
And sometimes the stars align just right and we actually get a photo where everyone is looking at the camera pleasantly. It’s a miracle!
I’m just happy the card is now designed and ordered! Now to go bug The Maestro to get writing that Christmas letter!
Happy Sunday!

I especially like the one with Bria sticking her tounge out.
The best part is that Bria looks just like you when you stick out your tongue!!
