Yes, like everyone else it was time for our annual Christmas card shoot. Each year I try a different theme. Last year it was more serious and this year, it was brighter and more fun.

You've done great, once again. I love them all. The kids look like they have had a ball! Pun intended...LOL!

Very very cool. One of these days we might do a card for ourselves, but we're pretty camera shy around here.

Julie,
they're all great! My favorite "group shot" is #2 but I love some of the interaction between the kids and the Anatomy Of A Xmas Photo is very cute.

Nice job as always. Looks like it was fun, too.

It is really fun to see your daughter mature to look more like you and your son to look like your hubby. I agree with Jim on the favorite - number two is my pick. Although I do like the cozy look of four.

They have both grown so much! Tanis is acting like a little teenager now. Full of the drama little girls go through(girls are MEAN)

Taylor is just funny(and less dramatic)

I like #2 the best also. I like them all, but, I am emotionally attached to the subjects!

#3 is my favorite. Of the group shots, I like #4 best because of Dottie where she is the center of the Universe...can't see her ears against the shirt in #2 and she is relegated to a supporting role.

Were the kids being threatened or bribed? This must have taken way too long for the merely interested or voluntary.

Beautiful work, as usual.

It actually went really fast. My biggest hurdle is getting my son not to squint his eyes and *try* to smile. Drives me batty. He is such a cute boy, and if he would just relax a little....

These are all too cute Julie. I personally would use the "anatomy of a christmas card" photo for my cards to send out. I think people love getting something that gives them a giggle. I really like the one too, I think the fourth one, with the white dog with black ears sitting right between the two kids. The expressions on your dogs' faces always make me laugh, they are SO alert.

Here is the finished card

Its a double sided flat card
