Let's Make A Deal

With the birth of our 4th kid, I do have to admit that I've become a little less productive. And when it came to putting out announcements for Keira's birth I came up with 1000's of excuses not to do it. And now with the holiday season upon us, I was warming up with a list full of reasons why I wasn't going to find time to send out Christmas Cards.

But seriously...who can turn down a great deal?

Snapfish got me salivating with it's awesome $.01 photo cards.
I couldn't say NO to such a sweet deal.
Thus we shined up the digital camera, brushed some hair and found a shady spot in the yard for a quick Sunday Photo Shoot.

Emma was up first.
It was quick and easy.
She's still at the ham stage.
Although it was hard to get her to stop talking long enough for a decent smile.

I think she was telling me some story about bugs in the backyard.

"Mommy, do you want me to sit like this?"
(what a poser)

This is the photo we used. We were able to crop out her arm.
She was pointing at something in front of her.
But all in all, this photo seemed the most natural.


NEXT UP...

Sydney has now entered that goofy stage.
It took a few shots of talking to her to have her stop giving me this forced, strained, toothy smile. (I swear all kids go through this stage)

This picture even seemed a little harsh.
Like she was pushing her hands really hard into her chin.

This photo was a close 2nd. But I just couldn't get past the 2 hairs in her face.
It just didn't look right.

The winner. Thankfully she still looks like my little girl.
