Rejected Family Christmas Photos

Getting just the right family photo to send out with Christmas cards is no easy task with 2 non-grade school aged children at home in addition to 1 curmudgeonly father. Let's take a look at some of the pics and see if you can guess why they didn't make the cut:

Take 1:

• Nathan is angry for some reason.
• Family is missing.

Take 2:

• People in picture: 5.
• Chins in picture: More than 5.

Take 3:

• Kaitlyn fighting the power.
• Ball in mid-air that Max threw.

Take 4:

• Where'd Max go?

Take 5:

• Where'd the kids go? That's who people really want to see in the Christmas card anyway.

Take 6:

• When Max is finally looking at the camera, neither of the girls are.

Take 7:

• See no evil.
• Hear no evil.
• Speak no evil.

Take 8:

• Megan lobbied unsuccessfully for this one as the final. Where are those good-looking parents (or at least the good-looking mom)?

Take 9:

• Getting closer...but where is the top of Nathan's head? (Although that's about all the hair he actually has.)

Take 10:

• Fish lips.
• Licking lips.

Take 11 (actually it was take 66):

• Winner!

Phew! Fortunately we don't have to repeat this experience for another 12 months.
