First, you should know that I had high hopes for this year's Christmas picture. I imagined all the cute shots we could get of Ryan and Evan sitting in front of the tree, playing with ornaments, or maybe even holding their stockings. I didn't even consider that getting them to stay seated for any amount of time is nearly impossible.
Take one...you see how well that went over

OK, fine. We'll hold them; surely this will work...
wrong...
Maybe if we sit on the floor this will be easier...
wrong again
So let's stand...
nice try, but wrong again
Yeah right...
Finally, we were all so frustrated that this was it! Sure, Ryan is rubbing his eye and Evan looks terrified because Fallon was making noises to get them to look at the camera. Never mind all of that! Everyone is looking at the camera so this is what we went with! It's not perfect, but if we hadn't used this one, there would have been no Christmas 2010 photo of the Parkers. I actually think it's hilarious! I'll look back at this year's Christmas card and remember all the craziness we went through just to get one not-so-perfect shot. Maybe next year...right? Merry Christmas from The Parkers!

ReplyDeleteI would have loved to be there to watch this photo session, pretty funny. Ryan was really cutting up and so not wanting to be a part of this. All of you, including Fallon, should have been tired when this was over (smile)
Merry Christmas. Love reading your blog and seeing how the kids are growing. Hope both "parents" are taking time to enjoy! Love you all
