THE Christmas Card Picture

Those of you that REALLY know me… know that I am an obsess over all kinds of random crap kinda girl. I obsess over silly things… I obsess for hours and days over the most stupidest things… Right now I can’t thing of a really good example of something CRAZY I obsess over, but if you ask my friend Sara I am sure she could rattle off a dozen in 10 seconds flat…. Lol

Well at Christmas time the ONE thing I truly obsess over is “THE” Christmas Card picture. It must be PERFECT. I think about it for weeks in advance. I plan, I coordinate, I… OBSESS!

Well those of you that have small children know… It is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to get a single decent shot when multiple children are involved… Someone is ALWAYS uncooperative, disgruntled, or just plain IMPOSSIBLE…. Such was my experience this year. My anxiety levels were peaking and I won’t even lie I threatened limb removal… (ok so those who REALLY know me know I am prone to exaggeration as well)

So my card picture stunk, but it was the best of the bunch! See for yourselves!

The one I chose.... Anthony is one second away from a crying FIT and missing are their bright BIG happy smiles!

Shall I rattle off a top ten list? lol :) You are obsessive, but that is one the of things that defines you.

Your homemade Christmas cards turned out beautiful and so did the picture. Remember that "it doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful". Enjoy the holidays with your family. Love you girl!
