Christmas Card Bloopers 2010 {Sunday Snapshot}

If you have not read the post below about our car accident, please do.  I feel very convicted to spread the word about the importance and superior safety of the five point harness system for children under the ages of at least 7-10.  Just because a child is legally able to ride in an adult restraint booster DOES NOT mean it is the safest option at all.


And thank you for all of your  prayers and sweet comments.  They mean the world to me.  I am having some post traumatic stress...no doubt.  I keep re-playing the scene in my head and I am jumpy and afraid to drive.  But my sweet Kate is doing well.  She has had two nightmares in a row this weekend but she is not acting afraid of being in the car at all.  And for those who were wondering, we are replacing her car seat with the Britax Froniter.  It is 5 point harness that she can use until she is 85 pounds.



I actually did not think we had many bloopers this year...until I took a good look at the photos.  We actually had tons.  They are not quite as funny as some in past years but they are bloopers nonetheless.

We shot these in the middle of the day on my birthday.  The sun was too direct and there was sunfalre on many of them but with all my kids activities and the busy fall we had...this was kind of my only window of opportunity.

"Yikes, how may of these pictures is she going to take?"



"I am NOT gonna smile."

"Oh, you want a smile...here's a smile for you, Mom!"

"Is this smile big enough for you, Mom?"

"I am WAY too cool for this family photo session stuff" (there is the flare)...these are all straight out of my camera.

Not sure what is with Will and Harry's facial expressions in these two!

There is that flare again!

Now this one is plain ridiculous!  No one is cooperating for me!

In this next series, Kate gets very silly....





She "might" get this tongue sticking out thing from her father????



I do believe she is kind of spitting at the photographer me.





I am not sure what this is all about but it looks like of preview of the teen years.



I think Will and I are falling asleep here.




And no one is paying attention in this shot!



Will and Harry are not looking too pleasant here.

Finally, Kate says.."I am just done with all of this!"

We actually had quite a few good ones that we did not use on our card.  I will post a few of those along with our card this week.






P.S. Several people have asked about Kate's dresses.  I posted the brand of the pink one a few days ago. The green one is by Lavender Blue.  I bought it a a local boutique and have not seen it anywhere on-line.  Similarly, I buy the big flower headbands at a little shoppe and they are made locally.  Sorry, I cannot be of more help.
