Snow!

I watched for weeks as other city’s in other states around MD got slammed with it. While here in MD we’d gotten a light dusting or two. Until this day! I wasn’t hoping for record breaking snow fall, just enough to maybe cause the base to close for a day so I could go out with my girls and play. It did snow but I still had to go to work. Which isn’t that bad considering my job is right next door. I didn’t have an excuse! School’s closed so the girls stayed home with Daddy.

I love the look of her Bold and Brightly colored coat against the white background.

Love when the snow falls thick n chunky like this it’s so gorgeous!

See, that’s my house with the Red Swagger Wagon, I’m taking the picture from the driveway of the house where I work!

Capturing the “Perfect” Christmas Card Photo

Capturing the perfect Christmas card photo is on a lot of folks “to do” list and it was on mind until I decided to let the girls take control. In the past we’ve sent out a Family newsletter but now thanks to Facebook and the fact that we live on the east coast (Texas & Alaska previously)  and see our family more often, I opted for a simple picture card. Plus I’d gotten some on clearance during last year’s after holidays sales! **I HEART SALES** 

This is the photo they chose to go on the Christmas Cards this year! Yeah, I know most often people want a “perfect” photo with everyone dressed and sitting pretty. But they  begged for a goofy, silly, funny photo and I had too much fun shooting them. I’ve learned that if I let them just be themselves and pose at will I get much better cooperation and at least one “perfect” shot.

This one was a close 2nd.

 

Here’s the “perfect” one I would have chosen. They said it’s too BORING!

So with all of that I’m glad my girls chose the silly photo. You never know one the receivers may be having a bad day only to open the card and have a good giggle to lift their spirits a little.

Happy Holidays!!!

Yawl come back now-ya here!
