I apologize in advance for the umpteenth post devoted to images of my offspring.
But, I wanted to share my [woe] experience of trying to get a *Holiday Picture,* during which I very LITERALLY broke into a sweat. [Plus, some of you REQUESTED to see it.] Ready?
Here goes:
You all KNOW I am not one for corny captions but this picture is just begging for one, ain't it?
.
.
My very own little Christmas Tree.
.
.
.
.
.
.
HA HA HA HAAA!
.
.
.
.
What I was thinking: 'Yeeeah, don't let that door hit you in the ass, sister...'
.
.
Maybe the casual outfit now?
.
.
Note the Hand of Maternal Protection. I'm not ALL about my art, yo.
.
.
Don't worry, I was still hanging on.
.
.
Turns out, she was less afraid to move in the Casual Outfit.
.
.
.
.
What I'm calling Good Enough:
Even though she's doing some weird imitation of the Pope.
.
.
Next year? An ASSISTANT. And maybe a XANAX.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Ha ha, love the photos!
...and I have a shirt just like hers, with the christmas tree on it. One guess as to who gave it to me. :)

I went with the outtake shots this year. One with the husband holding him from afar, two crawling away, and one of the "hey mom, whatcha doin" close ups. Hey, it's my life.

OMG, you should have totally used the "death to all" stare. It's a classic!
I too settled for good enough (It's amazing what a crop in Photoshop will do), but next year I'm doing a montage of the outtakes so people can see what it takes to get that shot they see every year on our cards.

The one that needed a caption should be: "The penis goes WHERE?" and the one with the brows should be: "What you talking bout Willis?"
Merry Christmas!

The frowny face is priceless!
She's a doll. Merry Christmas, TLNG and family!

The last picture turned out great, even if she does look a little like the Pope.
She looks like she is trying to strangle you in the first casual outfit picture.

Dude. I can't believe you didn't go with the pissy face. I LOVE THAT ONE!

Seriously your daugher is just adorable! You can put a picture of her on there every single day - as like a header and who can get mad.
I love the picture where she is the "christmas tree" and the one where I THINK she is going to kiss the camera.
I also LOVE how your nephew is always in the background. He is the oldest one and it seems like the little new girl is the ruler of the roost.
Hugs and happy holidays
Kayla

The grumpy face? So. Totally. Fantastic. Shoulda been your Christmas card...

Thanks, dude. I needed my fix. Love the eyebrow shot. Very Grinchy.
And The Nephew is getting to be such a big boy!
Merry Christmas!
