2010 Christmas Card: Bloopers and Outtakes

Considering the fact that I live in a houseful of guys who don't necessarily understand the need for the annual Christmas card picture, said guys are incredibly forbearing and understanding.

Even on cold, windy afternoons at the end of November.

Even when the Packers are playing on TV.

Even when one had been invited to a friend's house but instead found himself cheesing it up for the camera.

Part of the fun of the Christmas card photo shoot is the photos that immediately get axed; the photos that don't stand a chance of gracing the front of any Christmas card, but bring much needed comic relief for months afterwards.

I present to you a small sampling of the photos that will not be arriving in your mailbox this season:

These pics look even better while listening to "Sleigh Ride" in the background. We are a good-looking crew.

What fun!

We haven't tried to take one of the 3 boys in several years as it was generally a photo of them wrestling Noah to stay DOWN and not run off.

Love these! Love you guys!

Fun! I was laughing out loud looking at these pictures! Travis had to come over and see what I was laughing about! :)

hahaha! :D I love how in every one of these, Nikki, you're smiling beautifully- and then one or more of your guys is goofing off. :D

Thanks for sharing! <3

P.S. I love your Christmas playlist. "Chestnuts Roasting..." is my all-time favorite secular Christmas song!
