First off, I just want to thank Chelsey for hosting such an awesome contest. I have had this idea in my head for almost a year now and I’m am just giddy with excitement that we made it work. Seriously, I had way too much fun with this! So even if I don’t win, I’m happy to join in on the challenge! (I definitely won’t complain if I do win though, I promise.)
So here it is folks, our awesome family Christmas photo!
I love it!! Taking the pictures for this project was a ton of fun. I can’t stop looking at it, it makes me laugh. I lost track of how many photographs when into this, I think it was around 14. Little bits from here and there. Juniper took 65 photos of me getting up on Shaun’s shoulders. Maybe someday I’ll make an animated gif haha! I think the most amazing thing was the photo of Flynn on Juniper’s shoulders. I thought that was going to be the hardest part, but we got the perfect photo first try! Both kids looking at the camera with relatively happy expressions on their tiny faces? That almost never happens!! I did have to do a lot of reconstructing of Flynn’s torso to remove Shaun’s hands from his arm pits though. But that was fun! I think I look silly without my glasses on.
The kids definitely enjoyed getting to play with the Christmas lights. We haven’t done any decorating yet, but I hung these lights on some chairs and made a pretty awesome fort for them to play in. I just love this photo of the two of them.
Seeing all of Rachel’s beautiful decorating photos finally have me craving a little holiday cheer, so I might pull out our Christmas boxes this week and start prettying up the place. We are debating whether to set up our enormous fake tree, or get a smaller real one this year. Or maybe we’ll just set up the top half of our fake tree. Can you even do that??
Amazing! I know that I already said so on face book.
i love the little ornaments everyone is holding, especially your horse.
Your background is lovely too. The words are hardly noticed,
but I understand your wanting it that way. All in all I like it.
The red shoes are great. Why DID you leave off your glasses?
I look forward to the animated gif. *grin*
I did like the cropped version of the photo of the kids that I saw on yesterday's blog.
All in all, it's a wonderful job! What a fun photo! I guess I should think
of something cool to have as MY holiday photo.
*grin*

The kids had fun digging through our box of ornaments and choosing which ones to use. I think we'll put up our tree this weekend, and I'd love to make a little one that they can decorate. (And I love my red shoes haha!)
OMG! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! This is so wonderful!
Yay!

Thanks! Just having this picture is enough for me, but I won’t complain if I do!
Awesome, it looks so real, I'm amazed at your mad photoshop skills.
It’s my husband’s goal to fool someone into thinking we actually did this in one shot
This is fantastic! It's just so much fun!

Congrats! Such a great card and post editing, don’t think I could have put it together even nearly as nice without electrocuting a family member.LOL!
