Behind the Scenes of the Christmas Card 2014

Byljanning@dukemanorfarm.com

Each year I look forward to planning and sending our Christmas card, so friends and family can get a chance to see the kids and how much they have grown over the year. The cards are important to me…. but not so much to my children. 
This year  to avoid the very predictable “oh mom, why, do we have to” I decided to come up with a clever way to get them more interested and excited about the good ole yearly photo.

Camo, backyard, tire swing.

 I think Lily’s face says it all. Don’t you?


About 2 seconds after getting dressed and jumping on the backyard tire swing, I am thinking that maybe my camo idea was going to back fire. Did it just make the boy’s want to play and…… be boys, all while sweet lily, donning the cutest camo skirt, stood perfectly poised while this was going on.

The Boys……..



 Sweet Lily…. perfectly poised with legs crossed sitting in the tire the whole time.

So in the end, after a long hour of play, silliness and my own resolve, I have come to the conclusion that the yearly Christmas card picture is….. what it is and that boys…… will just be boys. And I love that!

Merry Christmas!

grateful
for the silliness and smiles

  2. And there you have the biggest difference between boys and girls! LOL! I LOVE your Christmas card! It turned out great. Love the clothing that you picked out and how country the setting is. Just perfect. Your kids are adorable.

  10. They are just such beautiful children! What a blessing and fun to see them being goofballs and knowing that Mom won't get TOO mad while they "act up" a bit. Your little Lily is just so precious! A beautiful little girl and 2 handsome boys. Ya can't beat that! xo Diana
