If You Don't Get A Christmas Card from Me This Year...

Its because nobody wants to cooperate with me. Plan A was to do a family picture. Jesse said not to schedule an appointment with a crappy studio, that he would talk to someone from work about taking them for us. Well its been a month, and he still hasn't even talked to them, so that plan was out.

Plan B was to take the kids to the beach and do a picture with them building a snowman out of snow. But since Savannah gets out of school at 4, and its dark by 4:30 that only leaves this plan open on weekends and I've worked every Saturday and Sunday for the past 2 months.

Plan C was to get a cute picture of the kids in matching Christmas jammies in front of the Christmas tree. I went out this week, and after calling every Gymboree in San Diego finally decided that I was just going to have to squeeze Savannah into a size small, picked them up, go the kids all ready this morning and they were horrible. This is the only shot I got with Lincoln even it it.

So I made a plan D. We were going to see Santa today, so I figured I could stick that picture on a card. Well I didn't get a cute picture of my kids sitting on Santa's lap. I didn't even get a funny "My kids are scared of Santa," picture. I got the "So what, who cares," version of the Santa picture. In fact, I took 3 pictures and this is the most enthusiastic of the group.
So if you don't get a card from me this year, trust me it wasn't for lack of trying.

Oh you poor thing! Well we can still do your after Christmas photos and hopefully we'll have more success with that-what can we bribe them with?
