Christmas Card Outtakes (12/4/10 - 12/12/10)

For those of you who ask me if Lily ever takes a bad picture- here’s your answer.

As you recall from a previous post, it all started with Santa. I dreamed of a cute picture of her sitting in his lap smiling her adorable smile. I got this:

Okay, markedly better but still not Christmas card material:

You will see the winner on my next post.
