Real Photos

The Happy Housewife is challenging us to post ‘real family Christmas photos’ – outtake photos from trying to get “the perfect” family Christmas photo.

Both boys were in their Christmas sweaters for church and I wanted to take a picture of how cute they were to send to my husband, Gregg, in Afghanistan.  The second I pulled out the camera, they started crying.  Wailing.  Rending of clothes and gnashing of teeth.  It was so dramatic.  The tears immediately dried up the second I threw my hands in the air and gave up.

  1. They’re still really cute. I received the giveaway package today. Thanks so much. I love the cookie sheets. We had the old fashioned 1s (haha) & I love the spatulas & the sprinkles. I wrote a post on my blog & addded your site address in it.

  2. It never fails- the camera gets pulled out and there will be tears over something.
    Don’t you love that?
    :)
    Tears or no tears, your little ones are precious.

  3. haha! i bet gregg loves the pictures just the same. its like the one of avery picking his nose when i ask him to smile! luckily my little quinn automatically smiles when he sees the camera!

  4. Seriously, I think my kids are related. Why is it whenever kids are wearing cute coordinated outfits, they much cry uncontrollably when they see a camera! Thanks for linking up!

  5. I remember how hard it was to get two little ones to actually look at the camera and seem to be happy. I feel for you.
    But the last one. Oh.my. The oldest looks like he’s praying and the younger one…speaking in tongues?? Cute.
