3:53 pm$550
I’ve told you already that we had family pictures taken a couple of weeks ago… for the first time in the history of our marriage. We ordered a nice, large one for over the fireplace and then 50 inserts (4″x5″) to go into Christmas cards. Anyone want to venture a guess how much it cost us?
Nevermind, no depressing guesses. Suffice it to say, it was a large chunk of my Christmas present. I asked if we could purchase the rights, but they don’t do that. So after all of the primping and preening and deciding what to wear… here it is, in all of it’s scanned glory:
It’s copywritten, and I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be posted, so I will have to kindly ask you to not steal it from my blog. And if I get any calls threatening to send me to jail, it’ll have to come down. Those of you receiving Christmas cards will get a pic anyway.
This wasn’t the best one of me, but it was the best one of everyone else. I wasn’t even about to pay for a “head swap”… I’m not that vain (and we’re not that rich). They did however straighten my front tooth (cheaper than braces) and smoothed out the crow’s feet. That was nice of them… for $550.

‘Head swapping’ - that phrase scares me.
It is a wonderful shot and proof that we are not the only family without a family shot. Well, until today.
We’ve got to get on that…

Great picture. We have not had a family picture in forever (other than the ‘get your butt on the couch’ pictures). Maybe we need to save up the 550 smack-a-roonies. If they fixed your crows feet, I wonder if they could put a bit of hair back on my head….

It’s a beautiful picture! I’m so jealous. We haven’t had a professional family photo since Julia was 8 months old - and that one was at Sears. This is just gorgeous!
