2010 Christmas card

the front


and the inside

I've wanted to do this card for years!  But I needed the 6 kids to do it right.  This is really why we decided to have Caroline.  Kidding!!!
Our boy/girl ratio is a little off, I know, but I love how it turned out.  And so glad that it's all done.  It was a lot of work.

And here a few outtakes from the photoshoots.....

Brian's are my favorite.
The camera really loves him.


And saving the best for last.........

My personal favorite.

I almost put this picture on the back of the card.
It makes me laugh  so. hard.
And we really wished these sweet pants could be seen in the family picture.

I call it  'Portrait of the Father of Six Children'.
Can't you just feel the exhaustion, the sense of wanting to be anywhere else but here, maybe the loss of self respect?
Brian's just such a great actor.
Because he really feels the exact opposite.

Right, honey?

    GENIUS! I love this card. If I ever have 6 kids I am totally copying it. I think this is the favorite Christmas card I have ever seen.

    too funny! I'm crying laughing at the dad shot....pretty much sums up life with lots of kids! Also love your big boy's expression on the stairs- so very brady! Your little miss is growing too, adorable.

    love it, well done!

    I absolutely love this!

    I have three kids, maybe I could just dress them up as an alter ego? Reindeers or something.

    And those pants are a sight to behold. I agree, I would have SO put those on the back!!

    Beautiful kids xxx

    LOVE your card! My sister directed me over to your blog to see your card. I have six kids too and might just have to do this next year.

    I love the expressions and even all the attire for the pictures.

    Thanks for the idea!

    Your cards are always a highlight in our holiday festivities. In fact, I have a group of friends who pester me everyday wanting to know if your card has made it to my mailbox yet. :) You have some serious talent girl. You should start a business (another?). I know plenty of people who would pay big bucks for Christmas cards as clever as your's (note that I did not send any out this year...blah!). I can't wait to see what you come up with next year!

    Loved the card. The only thing that would have made it better would have been Brian on the back.

    I was so sad you guys weren't in Utah darn it! I was so looking forward to some chatting. We'll have to get together here instead.

    My husband and I did a Modern family Christmas card last year to celebrate our blended family. This year we would like to do the Brady Bunch one. I found you while searching the web for a template. Are you willing to share how you did the card and font? Thanks!!

    If you are looking out for the steps to Lock your Facebook profile in Android, then click on your Facebook application from an Android device. Now, choose a profile and click on the three dots menu icon, which is located next to add to the story. After that, you will see the option to lock your profile.
