IHO Kendra's Holiday Pictures Post...

How did your's go this year??

Mine- disaster!  Last Saturday J slammed his forehead while out with DH stacking wood.  I had been putting Neosporin on it all week, it was almost gone AND he slept over ILs on Thursday night. I picked him up yesterday morning and BAM I look at him and he has a giant bump and cut on the top of his nose between eyebrows.  I am emotional at this point because I have been fighting with the pediatrician all morning and yanked my kids from the practice.

I load them in car, pick up my mom and head to mall.  I load them both into stroller and NO CLOTHES!! I left the bag of outfits AT HOME!  M-fer, I walked into JCP crying. They were great they gave me an appointment during their lunch breaks, I left my mom with kids and flew home for clothes, thankfully DH met me 1 exit from our house and I turned around quick.

J wanted NOTHING to do with his sister but hit her or "hug" aka choke her.  Her pictures were great, I did 3month ones too.

Santa Clause pictures were cute.  He gave him a high-five, he would not sit with him, ONLY with Mrs. Clause... he has a thing for old ladies with grey hair, it is really funny and started last year at pictures. Now any old lady he sees gets a hug.   

Ugh!  Hope everyones came out better.

  • if it makes you feel better- at least you are ahead of the game... i havent even thought about when to do holiday pictures!  i guess i'm putting it off b/c sue has suddenly decided the big flashes at the photography studio are scary.  really?  oh and we saw santa at the mall yesterday, she was very excited to see him and she was able to talk to him  (poor guy looked really bored) but i couldnt bring myself to do santa pictures before thanksgiving.

  • If I didn't have so many shutterfly codes I would have waited.. but usually my cards are out by the 1st week of December- we have to send over 70 and I try to include messages on all of them.  

    Oh and for his head, my mom took him to Sephora and he got a "make over" with conclearer, powder and stuff- well he took that off on mid photo shoot.

  • I don't think I'm going to even attempt Holiday pro pics this year....A is going to be soooooo difficult, I know it. But I'm still considering it. I have Sears coupon, so if it doesn't go well it will just cost me a stressful hour or so and $10.

    If I don't do them I'll just try to snap some pics of her here at home for our Christmas Cards this year.

  • I still have no idea what to use for holiday pics this year.  I have a few cute shots from the fall, taken outside and wearing a red plaid jacket so, they could work.  I also have a JCP living social deal that I can use but I am fairly certain he won't cooperate.  Bah...  In any case, I need to get my act together soon!

  • Holiday pics were also a disaster with k this year. She wanted nothing to do with them. The only thing she wanted to do was sit on their little couch. I wanted to get some with the three of us and K just kept pushing DH and I away from her.... Funny because most times I have to pry her off my leg!! And then the only picture that came out with the three of us ... I had a stray hair across my forehead.... Thankfully LPQueen is my hero and fixed that part. And JC Penny gave me a hard time about the groupon coupon..... They couldn't enter it into their system.... Idk they must have figured it out because they never called me...

  • Im not gonna spend the money on holiday pics. We just had 2yr pics taken anyway.  His first xmas I did my own photo shoot. And last year I used a candid pic of him playing. Im going to take a nice pic this year but will def need DH's help. When you tell him to "say cheese" he squints his eyes and tilts his head...lol

  • Waiting for LB's dress to come in and then we will head to sears.  However, these aren't for cards.  For cards, we are using a picture from her first birthday that our family photographer took.  She is pretty good in the studio so I am not worried. ::famous last words::

  • Today actually went really well. I went with outfit 1 minus the black sweater bc the stores don't have it in yet. And I snuck the tie on him too. He was such a good boy on the hour and half ride there and back. I can't wait to see some of the pics. 
  • I guess I will have to try some santa pics or something

    last year I jsut had them snap a photo at the winter wonderland thing we went to but def not christmas card worthy shots.

     

  • AW: See siggy!

    We actually got a good family one too even though my dh got beat up at his jiu jitsu class. JCP in Pok was a nightmare though, but I always get good photos w/their photographers. The other helpers weren't running the show too well. They were running way behind and the place was like 100 degrees. So many poor kids all decked out in their Christmas best having melt downs left and right.  Thanks again for the Groupon link on FB Navy. They eventually figured out how to enter in their system after about a half hr, but it worked and we saved a ton!

  • Mine went surprisingly well this year.  I have to make a little collage of them & get it up in my siggy soon.  I also did my annual holiday lights picture with A a couple weeks ago and got some really cute shots that I used for my x-mas cards (yes I have them already).  I was a very early bird this year.
  • murr - adorable and great pictures!!  My JCP gave me the whole cd from shoot for 100 because of groupon.  I also got a $50 credit for next time since I spent 125$.
