Christmas Card Rejects

These girls can be very stubborn.

Merry Christmas!!!

I apologize for the lack of Christmas photos.  I was too busy enjoying the holiday to take many photos this year.  We had a wonderful Christmas break, but sadly there are only a couple of days left before going back to work.  

Happy New Year!!!

The Big Tree

Finally.. The big tree is decorated.  I hung at least 450 ornaments today.  The photos don't do it justice.  The flash washed out all of the pretty lights.  Yall will just have to come over for a visit so you can see it in person.

Christmas Card Photo Shoot

Not wanting to have the same photo as last year, I opted not to tie ribbons around the girls' necks.  It would have been the same exact ribbon as last year, and it would have been very difficult to do without Derek's help.  Most of the photos ended up looking like regular back yard photos, and I was a little disappointed.

This first photo was a strong contender, but was lacking in personality, unlike last year's winning photo.
The second photo was one of the rejects.  There was a ton of chop-licking because I was bribing them to sit and stay with chicken jerky.  In most of these the girls looked like zombie-robot dogs, very intense and focused but again, lacking personality.
The winner will be posted closer to Christmas.  

Till then, happy decorating!  As you can see, I've already started.  Don't tell anyone.

Just Getting Started

Hey Everyone,


I have finally created a place to showcase my favorite photographs. I have been wanting to do this for a while now because I wasn't completely satisfied with Kodak Gallery and, more specifically, the way the comments and descriptions were displayed. People were missing out on so much. Come back and check from time to time and feel free to post your own comments as well.


Love,
Sara
