Last weekend, we went to good ole Wal-Mart for our annual Christmas portraits. We had wanted our photographer friend from church to take it, the one who did Lucas' one year photos that turned out awesome. Unfortunately, he was already booked so we went the el cheapo route.
This year's family portrait has one more Lomonaco in it. Weird that last year was Lucas' first Christmas and now, a year later, it is Emily's.
One more person made the photo that much harder to get.
Some highlights of the experience:
1) When already running late to get out the door, Emily pooped through her beautiful dress. I cleaned her up the best I could with a wipe and we were on our way. It was on the back of the dress, so it wouldn't show in the picture.
2) The photographer used a squeaky, plastic rubber duck (like Ernie's on Sesame Street) to attempt to get Lucas to smile. That plan backfired as my kid kept reaching forward and whining, "Duckie." Numerous pictures showed his hands outstretched.
3) Mike had a large scab on his lip from them being severely chapped and cracked. I, a professed chapstick addict, don't understand how one could let that happen. Just use the Blistex man. It's good stuff.
4) And finally, the best picture of everyone had me looking fat. Wait...
Stay tuned. One of these fun photos should be arriving in your mailbox around Christmas time.

This post made me laugh REALLY hard! Does your chapstick still taste like Barbie legs? (remember that?)
How come I didn't get a picture????!!!!!
Nope not like Barbie legs anymore. That was some free stuff that I got somewhere once. I use the medicinal kind that tingles the lips or Burt's Bees that is all minty and fresh but wears off too quickly.
P.S. The Christmas cards/pictures are FINALLY all mailed as of yesterday. You all ought to have one within a week. Sorry for the delay, but I just couldn't get it together this year.
