We put a few decorations up the week after Thanksgiving, and we were actually considering not getting a tree, but I couldn't resist. We chose a -2 degree day to go pick one out (at Home Depot). I'm usually very picky and I make Ryan hold up about 2 dozen trees before I choose one, but this time he held up two before I said "That's it!"
We went in the store to thaw out and then came out, bundled up the tree and headed home. You see, I had this grand idea for our Christmas card picture, but both kids fell asleep on the way.
We had 3 options.
1 - We could take them inside, un-bundle them, let them nap and then bundle them back up
again to come out to the frigid weather for the picture. - no go
2 - We could wake them up and hope for a great picture. - yeah right
3 - We could wait it out in the car and take the picture when they woke up.
We went with option 3. They probably won't sleep long. Half an hour later, I suggested that Ryan get the tree on top of Parker's truck and test out the lighting. After he was done with that, I ran in to get us some snacks. After another half hour, Adley finally woke up, and we woke up Parker.
Adley started screaming as soon as I put her down, but she cheered up real quick. Parker on the other hand, was still a little tired behind the wheel.
We tried a few different poses from a couple different directions.
We ended up with some great pictures after Ryan started laughing like a crazy person to get Parker to smile =)
I LOVE the way the card turned out. My husband's got skills!
