So this year I decided for once to order Christmas cards ahead of time instead of buying them last minute. In the past when I have received cute cards in the mail with endearing family photos I have vowed that the next year I too would have one of these cards. While at my family's house this week I forgot to have a family member take the photo for us, so Monday night Joe, Elv and I all put on our Christmas best and got ready to strike a pose. However, we were missing one important element--a photographer! We didn't want that to stand in our way, so we propped the camera up on a table and proceeded with the photo session. Elvis was the main problem, for some reason he didn't understand us when we told him to look at the camera--imagine that! Finally we got one where he was looking at the camera, but then part of Joe's head was cut off. So then we got another one where Elv was somewhat looking at the camera, but when I put it in the Christmas card layout, part of Joe's head was again cut off (the picture seen here)! By the time I realized it, we had already changed. So alas, we still don't have a family Christmas pic. Elv has some good individual pics from last winter, but Joe thinks we should have the whole family on it. So continues the journey to creating our perfect Christmas photo. We'll see once if we can get an acceptable photo in time to order Christmas cards--or there's always next year:)

So glad to see you blogging. I feel your pain with the whole Christmas pic thing. We had Dad take our photo on Sunday and somehow Mike's head still got cut off.
We thought we'd go for a vacation pic for our photo, however the one we liked best has feet in the corner! When we tried to crop the feet out it took out too much of the photo, so we thought we'd leave it in there and see how many people commented. No one commented, but they did notice:) Your card turned out great :) I liked the individual shot of Elv!
