Christmas Card- attempt #475

I did our Christmas card in stages...
(the only way it was ever going to happen.)

photographing one night in our family room..having ben make funny faces behind me.

designing one night in photoshop..while putting sophia back to bed 5 gazillion times.

printing and cutting during nap times....and any other moment I could print something without a 3 yr old unloading the paper and a 1 yr old crumpling it.

but for the life of me I could not get a free
moment to ADDRESS them.

Every time I would sit down..my little cuties thought it was time to sit ON ME.

I think it must be a baby rule. :) if  mom sits we must sit on her.

We also folded up a
little letter from our family...

BEHIND THE SCENES..in our family room..
Had the genius idea of doing cute little reindeer..
they were all about it.. for about 5 seconds...
they just wanted the lipstick on their noses. haha. fail. :)

we tried...

noses were smudged...

Finally gave up on the reindeer...

it was going to be a success if we could just get them to smile

 and not wrestle/fall off chair/eat the nativity scene.

Off to enjoy time with family and friends.

Have a very Merry Christmas! Safe travels..and blessings to all of you!

I can't wait to share what Santa brings my girls...

A little elf told me a DIY Dollhouse might be center stage..

(You are gonna love it!!!! eek. I was hot gluing curtains and bedding last night

haha.. ben was laughing at me. He thinks I'm going to play with it more than they are....;)

Oh and thought I would pass a long this fun site

that our Fridge Repairman told us about yesterday!

(that's what I got for Christmas...fridge replacement parts..and new brakes for the van.....

Very excited about that!! yayyyyy!
