dear mom,

thank you for chasing us around like a cukoo bird looney toon the other day trying to get a decent christmas card picture. we think you're HI-larious.
i mean, that thing you do with your eyes when you're really frustrated? how they roll back just like so? super cute. and then you never fail to say, "really now?! can't i just get one good picture?! rarrrrrrrw!!" it's pretty entertaining.
and no mom, you can't just get one good picture. we like to keep you on your toes. & see you sweat. we sure appreciate your effort though.
we know you & daddy think we're the cutest things to ever walk the earth, but really mom? really? after ten pictures in a rickety chair, we three year olds are just dunzo. finito. finished. buh-bye. so next time, lower those expectations, mmmkay?
we had more fun laughing at with you. so thanks for that. you're the best mom (winkwinknudgenudge)
                       lub eww,
audrey (in the red) & ellie (in the pink)
we thought we'd help you blog readers out a little. you're welcome.

p.s. what's up with the mini skirts? everytime you put them on us, they ride up like that. time to retire? we think so. and weren't those jackets from last year's photoshoot? get on your game, mom! geesh!

Love, love, love the kissing picture...so adorable! I think you got some good ones because sometimes the not so good ones are the good ones...know what I mean? It gets harder as they get older to get a decent picture - these are precious!

hehehehehe....oh how I love this, and oh, how I relate!!! :) Kids and pictures are next to impossible. Don't you think it would be hilarious to have video of us parents doing all the antics we try in order to get the perfect picture of our kids?? Just the other night we were trying to get ONE good picture of our three girls together in their Christmas jammies, and Jeremy was doing the snapping while I literally danced bears on his head, and waved my arms around while I held baby rattles and made noises I'm ashamed of now. haha. Ridiculous. :)

anyway, your girls are THE most adorable little red-heads on the face of this earth and I am 100% sure that your Christmas cards were amazing, knowing you.

Saw your card yesterday at Lorie's and I was uber jealous. SO CUTE. Next year I'm going to blog stalk you enough to make it on your list....

Wow. I'm creepy.

I was in SF a few weekends ago. I wonder if it was the same weekend as you!??! What if I was on the street at the same time as you?! AGH! Too awesome. I would have freaked out by the way if I saw you. My husband would have been embarassed, you would have been scared, and then we would all have a good chuckle and find some smashingly fabulous cafe to drink a gigantor coffee in or perhaps a quaint little restaurant to have wine and cheese and talk for hours on end.

Okay. Done rambling now. :)
