My Christmas Cards are Lame

My Christmas cards are lame this year, consisting of the 'best' family pictures I could dig up, all of which have previously been posted to my blog. I'm sorry, but after a very late start to this Christmas season, (I'm usually done shopping by now - I haven't really even started this year,) I honestly didn't bother trying to get a good festive picture of the boys. Those of you who have received Christmas cards from me in the past know just how unfestive, out-of-focus, and visually unappealing my attempted portraits of the boys can be.

Like I said, I grabbed a few decent shots off of the blog and used them to create my on-line Christmas cards in less than ten minutes. Forty-five minutes later I picked them up at Walgreens, and within two days, they were addressed and dropped in the mailbox. Well, the first 40 were sent out, then I ran out of cards. (I do this every year, you'd think I'd learn.) I went online to order another set, and darned if I didn't delete my project and have to start all over again. Ugg.

I decided that I should at this point at least attempt a Christmasy picture of the boys since it would take me just as long as my reordering, and just like every year, I ended up with a bunch of unfestive, out-of-focus, visually unappealing photos of the boys:

Like I said. Time to go re-make the original cards I'd thrown together...

Well, June, I'm sure you WILL have a nice family photo on YOUR Christmas card. Just not on the one you get from ME.
