I was planning on taking our daughter to see Santa and using that picture for our holiday cards, but then I decided to take a picture of her in front of our tree and that it would hopefully work out a little better. I still plan on seeing Santa, but just not for out christmas card photo.
Here is how our “photo” shoot went.
Maddie stop touching the Tree…
This is what I ended up with…
Maddie Can you Sit for mommy and smile?
Once again…
Finally a smile, but with a blurry hand…
Distracted…
I decided to go with this one. It’s the best I got. Her hand is a little blurry but she is semi-happy, her dress has drool and tears on it thanks to her 4 molars coming in at once and her not wanting to just “Sit and Smile”. I could wash the dress and repeat this process, but I am sure it will end up just as bad.
This is the best you are getting with a toddler, well my toddler anyway!
I was frustrated the whole time, but looking at the photo’s, I can’t help but laugh. I think every parent has been though this…

So cute :) Thanks for stopping by my blog to look at my Christmas cards. So happy I wasn't the only one. Last year I had major issues too because my daughter had coxsackie virus and had sores all over her face. I had to use a cute one from October for the card....which ended up being a hit. These are the cute pictures and cards that we will love having in the years to come!

Awww! I still think that ALL of the pictures would look GREAT on a card. Maddie is one little cutie! :)
...we try so hard for Christmasy things, don't we? They just don't always cooperate! :)
I hope you and Miss Maddie are having a great weekend!

Ha! These are adorable! My middle son was reading this over my shoulder and both of us were laughing. He asked, "Did I ever do this?!" I told him he definitely had his moments.... Great post!
