I tried. I really did. But it looks like it’s not going to happen this year.

You know how you always see those perfect photo-type Christmas cards where everyone is color coordinated showing their perfect smiles? Well, this past weekend we went to a Lunch with Santa. Since I had to get the girls dressed up, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to get their photo taken for a Christmas card.

After about 15 shots, this is the best I could get. Baby Bug was not cooperating and Girlie Girl was getting impatient.

While at the lunch, they had all kinds of cool kids activities as well as a magic show. Of course, Mr. & Mrs. Claus were there, too. Here was a second chance at getting that perfect photo!

Baby Bug took one look at him and went, “WHAAAAAAAA!”

She was screaming so loud, we all had to laugh. Hmmm . . . maybe I’ll use this one anyway. It would serve her right for ruining my perfect picture!

If you’d like to share your not-so-perfect holiday photos, I’d love to see them!

• BTW, you should see what Knitting Maniac’s daughter is obsessed with these days. Maybe I should adopt her. She’d fit in perfectly here! Just click on her thumbnail in the sidebar.
