Christmas Pics

Another tradition, I take pictures of the kids in front of our Christmas tree. Of course my intention is always to use them for our Christmas cards but I never get around to mailing cards!! I've never gotten our pictures done this early either so there is hope this year!!

I think I'm going to do a Christmas Photo Shoot Album. Just something fairly small that I can add some of my favorite pictures from each photo shoot each year. Maybe a chipboard book, hmmm... gonna have to do this! It would be a great way to see how the kids change each year! Anyone else do something like this?

Here's a few of our pictures: I need to do some cleanup work on them but haven't had a chance yet.
I love this one of Emma looking at the tree!! This is one of my favorites from the photo shoot. Tyler's at that fun age that he hates his picture and is really hard to get a good one. Emma LOVES the camera so it's all smiles AND poses from her! LOL!!


And this is my tree, well a piece of it! I just can't get a good picture of my tree!! I tried no flash and flash. So anyone have ideas on how to get a good picture of a tree with the lights on? I LOVE my tree!! I'm soooo anal about my tree!!

Here's what I have on my tree:
  • white lights, tons of them!!
  • scented pinecones, they smell so yummy when the lights are on and heat them up a bit!
  • gold little squiggly things, don't know what they are called but I love them!!
  • muted red and gold bulbs, not really anything fancy just simple with some glittery designs on a few of them.
That's it!! Nothing else but I LOVE it! I love my tree! I've had it forever and it's still just perfect. It's tall, it's fat (like me, LOL!!) It makes me happy!!!

Your tree is so pretty!!
Our tree is tall & fat also but it has a hodge-podge of ornaments. My mom gets the girls and I a new ornament each year. DD1 has an angel collection, DD2 has Cherished Teddies and mine are Prescious Moments. Plus lots of other ornaments. We use lots of colored lights. My hubby puts the tree up and puts the lights on, then us girls decorate it. Then he puts the train underneath it.

I always take a pic of the girls in front of the tree either Christmas Eve or morn but its not a dress-up photo shoot - might have to try that. HA!! I have teenage girls. Have you tried taking a pic at night with no other lights on?

Thanks for sharing Shannon!

pShannon I too am a Christmas tree lover I always have been and I do theme trees this Yr it is a 8ft fibre optic with clear lights pink and burgandy and gold balls and a few pink poinsettias I think it is beautiful. Oh yah bows in pink and burgandy. My husband tells me I watch to much HGTV because I am decorating everything im a little excessive but I love Christmas. In yrs past i have used bubble lights which depect a period of time in our lives when we were young. Now they are kinda back. I live to shop after Christmas for new and different things on half price for next year. Already bought a new Blow up Sant for the fron yr at Lowes half price. Love a sale also. I am ready every thing is wrapped, cards are made ready to send now Im waiting for Christmas Eve our whole family gets togather and eats at cheddars in Springfield then on Christmas evening we all get togather again for a meal and gifts lots of fun. Happy holidays to you all. Also we do remember what the season is really all about (JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON) Love Dianne
