So I’ve been trying to get a picture of the girls, together, in matching dresses, both smiling. As you can see, I’ve had varying levels of success. Every photo session ends with Becca crying (see number five) and Emma laughing maniacally. I quit.
And as I have two days to write 10,000 words, today’s post consists of a poll. Which of the above pictures would you choose for me to send out in my Christmas cards?

Which Picture
Which Picture
|
The Grinning Cuddle.
The Slightly Serious Cuddle.
The Cuteness.
Becca the Sanguine.
Stop the Insanity! Put Down the Camera Mom!
Smiley Faces.

I voted, but I have to say that the crying face in #5 is absolutely hilarious!!

I love them all as well, but the last is classic for a Christmas photo.
You GOGOGOGOGO, girl! You can do this! Rooting for you every word of the way.

I must admit that I voted for the ‘smiley faces’, but in my heart I really, really, really wanted to vote for the ‘insanity’ one. Too bad you can’t use both! (or can you??) :)

Ah… photos of the kids. The best ones I have of all three of my kids are candid. As soon as I start posing them the run far far away…
Good luck with those words girl! I know you can do it!!!

Oh geez… I totally feel for you girl. The boys aren’t hard to get pics of, except their pic smiles are so fake, but Bee is impossible. The pics are usually great except for her ever moving body!
I love the one with the screaming! You could print them all out on a sheet and stuff it into your cards just for kicks! Everyone would get a good laugh and also feel sorry for you!!!

I LOVE #3, it is so darling.

I don’t know what explemplifies the holidays better than children in tartan print. Although, when I was a kid, my mom dressed me in chevrons. But that was the eighties. And we don’t talk about that.

I LOVE the first picture. I haven’t yet attempted the Christmas Card pic yet – but I’m thinking as a back up plan is one of those handy dandy collage set ups where I can put two individual photos on there ha ha!

Okay, I’m the oddball.. I liked #2 and I can’t articulate why, but I also think all of them could be equally as charming and ‘true’ to their characters!

Cute shots – you’ve got yourself some keepers.
by Lisa Milton on November 30, 2007 at 12:32 am. #
i voted for the slightly serious cuddle. because you can see their darling faces up close.

Number #5 is awesome!
by Summer on November 30, 2007 at 12:42 am. #
Apparently your vote-thingy doesn’t let me and James vote separately . . . good thing we both liked #3!
Good luck with finish NaNoWriMo! :)

They are some kind of cute.

tee hee, I like crying face too :>

I don’t like our recent family photo shoot either. It is the two year old issue I tell you :) !!
by An Ordinary Mom on November 30, 2007 at 5:42 am. #
Soooo cute. I love them all bit number one is sooooo sweet. So I voted for that one. They just look so cheeky. And we’re rooting for you. You will finish Bert. Go go go.

Good luck with your writing and I was torn between “the cuteness” and “smiley faces”. Yes, I did vote :o)
by Tonya on November 30, 2007 at 1:45 pm. #
I’m still deciding which way to vote! They’re all so adorable!
by Rebecca on November 30, 2007 at 2:42 pm. #
Love the pictures! they really show their personalities, don’t they?
Beautiful girls!
by JustRandi on November 30, 2007 at 4:19 pm. #
Cute girls — and I love their personalities that shine through! Can’t you do a collage-type-thing?? :-)
by Beth on November 30, 2007 at 7:12 pm. #
I like all of them. Each picture shows a different side to the girls, and so how could you choose one pic over another?
by Tristi Pinkston on November 30, 2007 at 8:12 pm. #
Number 5. Definitely!
by Avery Gray on November 30, 2007 at 10:19 pm. #
