Christmas Card Photo Shoot{s}

Rounds One, Two and Three...
Complete Failures.

Big Sister was having a meltdown.
{yes, all three times.} The tiniest bit of sun in the overcast sky
was too bright for Baby Boy. I tried bringing in the big guns-a huge lollipop. But the huge lollipop just kept getting in the way.
And turning her chin multiple colors.
About 15 minutes in, Baby Boy decided to open his eyes,
but still wasn't keen on smiling for the camera.
But was more than willing to make "scrunchie" faces-his specialty, by the way.
I love these babies. And they love each other.
But I do not love trying to take their Christmas picture.
No worries.
After 3 days, 2 outfit changes,
a location change
and some nice long naps,
Round Four was a success.
Finally.

I love the "scrunchie" face! Can't wait to see the final product from round four!

You are brave--A multi-colored lollipop and a white Christmas dress! Gracie would never have survived it...
