whew!

We spent HOURS preparing for our FAMILY Christmas photo! I told Darren I would not share until all cards are assumed to be received, but wow, what a day. We did all the "prep work" while Braden napped, so we were ready when he was...but by then Hailee was worn out (okay, it could be due to the 100+ fever she has along with a sore throat), but we got it. It took almost 2 hours to get the proper camera settings, family arrangement, and timer figured out...but when the time came, we only took about 15-20 shots before we had the declared "winner"!

So I've printed 54 pictures, matted them to paper (will trim them down tomorrow!), printed 54 greetings and matted them to paper (yes, Darren helped with all of this and I am forever grateful!), will cut those tomorrow too. So, I get to put it all together tomorrow and maybe, just maybe, I'll actually be on time and have my cards mailed by the 5th!!!!

WAHOO!!!
