Our 2012 Christmas card

 
 
 
 
Ta daaaaah!
 
 
 
 
Then the inside folds out to this....
 
 
 
 
 
And this on the back side....
 
 
 
 
 
Did you know Bahama Bucks sells snowballs?
60 snowballs in a styrofoam cooler for $12.99!  I was like, "I'll take 120!"  And we used every single one doing this shoot. For Family Home Evening one night. And yes, here in Arizona we have to buy our snowballs.
 
We got more of them to attack our neighbors with when we were delivering Christmas goodies.
 
Oh what fun!
 
 
 
Here are my favorites from the shoot:
 
(Watch Caroline, so happy & cooperative at first, not really knowing what's going on, until she gets plastered. I know. We are so mean. But all for a good cause. :))

Captain America and the Hulk


These are two of my adorable nephews.
 
 
Kellen
 
 
 
and Blake.
 
 
 
Also known as
 
 
Captain America and the Hulk.
 
 
 
 
We had a little photoshoot awhile back.
 
 
 
With a few of their favorite things.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I thought this one would be perfect for a school picture.
 
 
Now who wouldn't want a karate-kickin' school picture?  Who???

The Man Cave photoshoot


 
This group of young men, also known as "The Man Cave" guys (after their basement hangout at one of their homes, which happens to be down the street from us), all graduated from high school last May and are one by one leaving on missions.  Several of these guys are in our ward & I could swear it was just yesterday that they were on their bikes on our street corner with their backpacks on waiting til everyone was there so they could all ride to junior high together. 
 
But just after graduation & before they all started going their separate ways, one of their moms thought to get a group picture, and asked if I could do it. The problem was, the following night at 10:00 was the best shot at having almost all of them there (one was out of town). So I left a space hoping to take a shot of the missing guy later & photoshop him in.  
 
So, can you tell which one was photoshopped in?......* 
 
I'm not so good at this sort of thing, so it was a photoshop triumph for me. And also just fun being a part of the Man Cave for a night.
Such a cute group of boys!
And I think they'll be glad to have these one day.


*Answer - bottom right :)

I found this the other day.....



My bill for some screen-cleaning by Zane.
 
I must say, he does pretty good work.  I don't know what we would do around here without him.
 
Anyone need a good screen-cleaner?  I think he's available.
