Christmas joy

I was ambitious this year- I decided to get creative with a Christmas card idea. I got all excited, went to Hobby Lobby and bought some wooden letters and had Josh paint them a cheerful metallic red. I had this great idea in my head that my little blonde cutie would be super willing to snap a couple of cute poses, one with each letter and we would have the sweetest little Christmas card. Three pictures, one holding the J, one holding the O, and one holding the Y... spelling out the word JOY! I was mistaken. After 5 photo shoot attempts with Jake, none of them sucessful (there was no sitting still and a lot of wooden letter throwing involved,) Josh stepped in and decided to help out.. needless to say, nobody will be receiving a red metallic wooden letter J O Y card from us this year...

That is hilarious!!! Not for you, of course, but it made me laugh :) I know how frustrating it is, though, to have an "idea" and not have it work out no matter what!! Andrew wasn't really cooperative for his christmas pictures either and was in his christmas outfit about 5 times before I got a semi-decent pic!!!

Hehe! I agree with Derek. Pure joy, absolute, pure joy. :)
