2016 Week 47 - Outtakes

Yet another big ol' post to make up for my lack of posts lately. I took all of these pictures on separate days but it only made sense to put them all together in one post. These are the shots that didn't quite make the cut to be used for our Christmas card this year. We went to a little row of Evergreens by our house a couple of times and tried to get a perfect shot for our card. Needless to say, I have WAY more that fit this blog over the card. Some may say that's a bad thing..... I think it's a great thing. These outtakes made me laugh lots and lots!! 

Day 1: It begins 

Where's Bry you ask?

There he is... being a tiny creeper

Day Two: Clearly off to a good start

And we're clapping

Tongue smiles

This was actually a runner up for the card... they both look so cute! 

I feel like Bry is saying "Yo, I don't wanna do this anymore"

Clearly looking at the camera is against their beliefs 

.... not sure

Quick recovery

"Avery, smile!!"

"Now look at ME and smile"

"Nailed it"

This cheese face!!! Almost became our Christmas card picture... but I figured I should include the other child

Good golly, she's cute!!

I don't know what I said that was so funny... but it was only ok to give me this smile if Bry wasn't next to her.

Last smile before Bry came back....

AND done smiling ... but check out those blue eyes.

Sometimes we love a bit too hard

This girl! <3

I'm guessing Bry is crying somewhere

AND he's back with a bang

Touching moment between siblings

Another card contender....

Eating goldfish and crying. 

"Say Cheese"

This one doesn't look forced at all..

A cute real smile ... and a distracted boy.

My favorite picture that I have taken ALL...YEAR....LONG!!!!!!!!!!!

Bryan loves taking pictures

"This is the biggest I'm smiling, mom"

Those piggies! 

Loving a little too hard... again

Not sure what's up with this smile... and that piggie

I love that kids eyes!! 

This one is actually sweet!! 

Forced smile

Creepy ----------------------------------------Forced

Just a little unsure

"K, Mom. I'm done smiling"

Clearly, someone behind me was doing something cooler than me

Dorks!

If this isn't a perfect depiction of my two weirdos, I don't know what is.

I feel like Bry should get an A for effort.

The wind took control of that piggie again.

Bry - "I don't want to do this anymore"
Avery - "Suck it up, I've been doing this for three years"

"Now SMILE"

Goobers

It's like they talked and decided they should just smile!!

Or someone is dancing behind me...

They weren't the most successful Christmas Card shoots.... but we got some great outtakes that seem even better :)
