Attempt at the Perfect Christmas Card

With our October beach trip, I promised after our trip this past June to go to the beach with absolutely no expectations. I swore I would take my camera to the beach every time we went and hope to capture an amazing picture simply by happenstance. Well, as they say, promises are made to be broken. We were only there for four days and we insisted on travelling light to the ocean each day. That did not include my gigantic camera bag. Because I just knew that I would bring my camera with me everywhere we went, I did not bring my small camera either. Like, outside of our house. In Tennessee. So, half my time at the ocean was spent pouting about not having any means to take pictures besides my stupid cell phone. The other rule I broke was that we set aside one evening to take pictures and one evening only. With that comes a massive amount of expectations (see previous promise to myself). And, to top it all off, I forgot my remote so I had to get up 55 times to take a picture. Long story short, we got exactly 4 pictures that would even remotely be in consideration for a Christmas card of any kind...

I think this would make the perfect card for the phase of life we're in these days, don't you?! A litle sweet, a little "shut your mouth, Brother, it's my show now."
Now, this I like for many reasons. Mostly, it required no bribery since they were walking away from me and I couldn't have cared less what expression they had on their faces. I would bet you somewhere upwards of a million dollars that one of them was trying to get away while the other had the death grip on the other "because Mommy said so."

This one definitely has potential except for 2 problems: Cooper's 80's style skater-boy hair and the fact that Kendall's hair is still wet and has that "hasn't been washed in 5 days" look to it.
My favorite picture, possibly of ALL time. And you wonder why people ask me if they're twins??? I believe Chip had just said "OK guys, act like you just got a brand new pack of Mighty Beans!" Naturally, Chip thought they would smile excitedly, but this is what we got instead. Write that down for their Christmas lists, I guess!

The Wild Webbs have had some wildy awful sickness lately and I apologize once again (for those that want it) for not blogging. Seems we like to eat and sleep when we're finally feeling well around here and not much else. I hope all is well with every single one of you. More to come, I promise...Kind-of.
