Isn’t my tribe lovely in our matching jammies? This is definitely going in the highlight reel, but in actuality, the struggle was real. 😂 I decided at the last minute that I was going to force everyone into matching jammies (so shopping like an online ninja turned into an expensive project). Must see this through! Then I didn’t hire a photographer, or even cajole an outside person to push the button (because I have trust issues and a hard time asking for help), so there were struggles and expletives with the tripod and setting up appropriate lighting. Doh! Then the peanut gallery starts to scream ➡️ This is taking too long! We will have to take a million pictures because nothing is good enough for you! Why are we doing this now? I’m hangry! It’s dinner time! 🙄 Sigh. Breathe. We can do hard things. Must see this through. 🌞 And then maybe 15-20 pictures later and lots of cursing and wrangling of the pups, we have these pretties that I will cherish. Merry Christmas to me. ☺️🎄 So there is story of our family pictures #2k17 . This is also why I don’t send out holiday cards. #sorrynotsorry #thestruggleisreal #savetrees #thosewhocarewillseeit
