Well,this Thursday I took the kids to get their pictures taken for Christmas at Picture People.I arrived at the mall early and thought maybe while I am here I will take them to see Santa.Well, when I got there, there was no one in line!!!!!WHOA!!I was very excited because I was not quite sure how Dominic was going to react.To my pleasant surprise he was EXCITED!I was EXCITED that there was no tears.Sam on the other hand was a little reserved, but I told her she needed to tell him what she would like for Christmas or Santa wont know what to bring her.She thought about it for a second, and then when I pointed out that Dominic was telling Santa what he wanted she decide to hop on Santa's lap.Nothing like a little sibling rivalry, to get the job done!Dominic was really cute for the pic, they would say "Smile" and he was like "CHEESE".It was too cute.The whole time I was standing their like, I cant believe their is no crying,whining,or line.After Santa, we proceeded to Picture people and again the kids were great and the pictures turned out cute!Look for your Christmas cards soon.
You see I was pretty shocked how things ran so smoothly,this is because picture day is usually my least favorite day.I LOVE the pictures when we are done, but the whole process just stresses me out!!!!Picking out outfits,making sure they stay clean,hair done,no one crying so we don't have red eyes, and my favorite trying to get them to smile and look at the camera the same time.There are times when I get done with pictures that I am so sweaty I need a shower!I guess its that mom in me who just wants that perfect family picture.

Wow, that's amazing that everything went so smoothly. They look adorable in those pictures and it's great that they were able to get shots with both of them smiling.

They did awesome. Way to go Sam and Dominic. Don't you just love it when things go better than planned?
Ahhh- family photos, one of my least favorite things to do, but so worth it (usually) in the end. I'm glad everything went well and they even got to see santa. I think the picture fairy elves were on your side. They look adorable!
Very cute pictures! I will be expecting one shortly:) I'm glad that they were good for you.
Sorry I took so long to look at this. I loved the cards and look forward to them every year. How lucky can you get with that cute pose? I remember in the summer with the twelve of them trying to take a good picture. After 24 shots, we gave up and took the best one. Whats the secret????
