Christmas photos
Spent today in Pittsburgh with my mom for her doctors appointment, a trip to Trader Joes, then wandering around Pittsburgh Mills Mall looking at random things. What started as looking at some dresses because they were on sale turned into a search for Christmas outfits for all three kids at JCPenny’s (their Christmas outfits were 70% off and hubby called and told me that his check had come.) And then when we got home and someone mentioned a free 8×10 from Walgreens (you can still get it if you order through snapfish.com then say you want to pick it up at Walgreens and use the code WALFREE (just today and tomorrow) , and then again if you order directly from Walgreens.com (upload then use code freegift) and so I decided the kids needed to WEAR their Christmas outfits so I could take their picture. Which was all right, except that for some reason our camera HATES our living room–there is NEVER enough light and when there is it speckles everything yellow. It doesn’t do that in any other room and I had plenty of light (in fact, the camera thought I did and as soon as I went to take the picture it was too dark–remember I can’t use flash because of Rachel.). I just don’t get it. Sigh. Anyway, I got one nice photo and 73 duds. 🙂 Above are the duds and below is the final decent shot. 🙂
Just adorable. Right before I read this I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my Walgreens coupon code!
How precious!
I can barely keep my dressed (and not in pajamas) I don’t think I’ll get a Christmas picture… this is wonderful!
I’m cracking up at some of the duds, but hey, all you need is one good one, right? And the one good was is wonderful! Just adorable! Have a blessed Christmas!

Heather, you did indeed cheer me up. I laughed all the way through your post. I left you comment over on my own blog too.
You are a treasure of a friend. I’m so glad I met you. If you want to send something comforting, I would gladly accept it because I love treasures from friends. I feel greedy. I hope it’s something you painted. I’ll send you an address. I’ll send you something too. I made some cool things for Christmas gifts for some of my on line friends, but ran out of time to get things off.
It’s a great shot! Isn’t that the way it goes that you need to take 73 shots~
Your kids are adorable!!
Awww, what sweeties you have…I loved the slide show, too…it made me smile and laugh…you can almost hear them giggling…
Those pictures are really beautiful! And thanks for the Walgreens tip, I am off to order some 8x10s right now!
Well the kids look like they are having fun during the photoshoot, at least.
Oh it came out lovely!!! We just had a friend over to take our Christmas photo – will be posting it tomorrow 😉 I hope that you and your family have the most fabulous and joyous Christmas ever!!!!
Very nice outfits and a wonderful photo. At least it doesn’t take 72 kids that are duds before we get our few perfect ones;-).
Heather the pictures are just adorable. I pray you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
