Christmas Card Challenge 2007





We have been busy with so many holiday projects. Homemade gifts, cookies, hand dipped chocolates, 2007 DVD slide show and Christmas cards. The Christmas card has been the biggest challenge. When we had two kids our cards were out the day after Thanksgiving....I think it has gotten later and later each year. This year I'll be happy if I send them out by Monday.

Half the challenge of it was taking a family picture. Hope you enjoy the reality of it in these photos. I finally gave up on the self timer and got my Dad to shoot one of us in his backyard. I think you all should recieve it in about a week. Next year I'll either send a "reality card" or hire a professional photographer. How my parents got our family picture with 17 kids.... I have no idea. That was even before the days of photoshop and swaping out heads.

Picture #1- Red Butte Garden after taking all the kids "home school pictures" thankfully all their individual shots turned out great!

  1. Al, these photos are priceless! The best part is that the kids aren't interested in the camera! xoKaren

  2. I got your card yesterday. It was a beautiful picture.
    My personal favorite in this blog post is pic#4 where you and Paul look perfect and your children are all so funny.
