These pictures make me laugh because there are many things about them that you would never know from our Christmas card this year. First of all the boys shirts are like 3 sizes too small. Benjamin's only came 3/4 of the way down his arm and was super short on him. It was the only "Christmas" looking shirt I could find. The boys actually are not even wearing pants in the pictures because I knew they would be in the box. The boys are sitting in a Tupperware container wrapped half way with wrapping paper. I wanted it to look like they were in a package. It just was not coming together. Then I thought I could just edit pictures and make them look good. Yeah not so much. Then the fun of trying to get them to both look at me. Here is the way the pictures went.
Hey this is going to go well.. the first picture isn't too bad but the lights were blurry..
Caleb don't smile so much... just do a nice smile
Caleb put your hand down
Caleb just smile normal.. dont make funny faces
Blurry and Caleb looks mad
Caleb open your eyes... Benjamin close your eyes a little
Caleb look at the camera
Not a good expression caleb
NO caleb.... a NORMAL smile, Benjamin smile
Boys look at me
OH Caleb... I give up.. put your hand down
Look at..... Me
No leave the shirt on Benjamin.. I know its too small but just leave it on.. And caleb please do a normal smile.
Caleb quit screaming.. and look at the camera
Caleb open your eyes a little, not too bad though
This one might just work! I had to bribe with lollipops for this one
Put your heads close together... oh no too close benjamin.. Caleb look at mommy
Ugggh not again...
Hey boys want a lollipop? -shoot the tree blurred
Ok hug each other... not so tight Benjamin I can't see Caleb's face
Benjamin look at the camera.. Caleb just smile
I didn't mean sit down so low.. just sit normal..
Benjamin sit higher, Caleb sit lower
Dont give up Caleb.. we are almost done.. we might even have 1 picture we can use.
Much Better
almost done.. I just don't know if we have one that is good yet
Now put your faces close together.. and laugh.. this is funny
oops too much of a squeeze
Ok thats it we are done.. now I can see you are just in Tupperware..
It only took about 500 pictures to finally get one that would work. What a process it is. After all that hard work I sent out half of my christmas cards and left my list at work so I didn't konw who got them and who didn't so I couldn't send out the rest of them. Oh well maybe next year we will get them all out.
