We posted #10 through #8 on Saturday and today we continue with the #7 through #5.
#7 Christmas 2012
Number 7 definitely does not rank high on the fun-o-meter, but it has all three of our boys, so it climbed up a couple spots to 7. It wasn't very fun to shoot because momma wasn't feeling to well. The first shots we got were from pics we took just to capture momma preggers with Isaac. That's where the bottom two pics of the boys come from. Then we figured we'd get another shot with the boys and Isaac (momma's belly) a few days later for a card. Unfortunately, in between these days, Jeremy stage dived and took a header into the sidewalk. So the pic with all 3 boys has Jeremy sporting his concrete scar. It was this last attempt to get pics of all 3 boys that didn't go well. Boys weren't feeling it, momma wasn't feeling it...but at the time it seemed like a good idea.
#6 Christmas 2010
Christmas 2010 was a fun photo to share. This one wasn't specifically shot for Christmas. It came from our family trip to Scottsdale Arizona. We went there with no plans, just a week of solid family time and "what should we do today?" We also caught a Raiders game, and them giving away another win to the Cardinals...the usual. This pic started a tradition of getting pics of all of us jumping on the bed during vacation. However, the tradition didn't last long. We forgot to get pics the last two travels.
I had lost all evidence of this card and we couldn't remember what we had done for 2010. I asked on Facebook if any of our friends happened to save their Christmas cards and still had it. Our friend Glenna was the first to reply and remembered the card with us jumping on the bed. That jogged my memory and I was just going to post the picture we used. Kirsten then said she still had it. Luck would have it that she was in the neighborhood the next day and now we have a digital copy!
#5 Christmas 2000
Our very first homemade Christmas card with all our kids. From left to right: Spyncer the cat, Kukoc the parakeet (wearing a tiny bow on his head), T-Bone and Jezebel. The work it took to get pics of all these guys together was hilarious. One of our best memories. I couldn't find all the shots and this is not the exact one we used. The one we used had a shot that was timed just as Kukoc decided to fly away, so he was still sitting in his spot, but his wings were spread out. I don't know how we got the cat to just sit there...I think she thought she was invisible if she didn't move and could then sneak up on Kukoc. She never took her eyes off him. T-Bone made sure the dumb cat didn't hurt his little best friend. He was his usual self, obedient, yet humiliated by another one of our antics. He loved Kukoc so much.
They story with this card and Jezebel is a bit fuzzy. She is photoshopped in. We originally took the picture of Spyncer, Kukoc (in a box decorated like a sled) and T-Bone as the reindeer before we had Jezebel. We can't recall if we used that card originally or not, but we definitely used this after we got Jezebel and pasted her in.
