2010 CHRISTMAS PHOTO SHOOT

Have you ever done a Christmas photo shoot with four kidlets? If the answer is "no", then you really must try it! If the answer is "yes", then you will know with certainty that it is Fabulous, Fun & Frustrating!! As the girls get older ithas become easier BUT throwing a two year old into the mix makes it.....hmmm, let's say interesting, especially when the two year old is a little tired, sees absolutely no reason why he should take his shirt off and put a red one on when he was perfectly happy with the one he had on, sitting with his cousins when he could be playing with them etc etc.

Chocolate Always Helps!

Picture Perfect

Jumping On The Bed Always a Winner

Being Naturally Gorgeous .........Of Course!

Bring On the Lollipops - Definitely Always Helps

Well Mostly - But It Can Be a Problem When it Breaks!

Bringing Rudolph into The Picture is a Bonus.

Lots of Energy

And the Perfect Pose

And Eventually a Happy Boy

Who Didn't Really Like the Candy Much Anway!

Just Too Much Cuteness I Say

I normally hold onto the Christmas photos for a while longer, but these were worth sharing a littler earlier than usual.

Aye Me Hearties - Christmas Parade 2010

Tulle marched with an older member of the dance studio, holding the number 12.

Rori was on the Community Bank pirate ship along with another 60 or so St Martins kids. After we created the Ark and ran with it for five years, it ended up back in the hands of the City Council and they did an awesome job of restoring and revamping (the Ark looked like it had sat on the side of Mount Ararat for a long while when it was rescued!) to come out the other side a brand new pirate ship.

We had no trouble drumming up pirates, kids big and small love to be pirates AAARGH!!!

Rori and one of her bestest friends James trying to look really mean :)

And the gang or mean looking critters!

More to come..................

More Halloween

More decorations.

More groovy food - sorry about the orientation of the pic! But you get the idea.

Kyle and Shauna cut up a pumpkin for us.

Spooky pumpkin and Adam!

That darned cute Snow White again :) How do you convince a 2 year old to keep a wig on?

One word - CHOCOLATE! lol

Then came the handsome spaceman.

And the BFFs

What a cute couple:)

Canadian Style!

We've been introduced to a few Canadian customs and traditions - Halloween being the most recent. As usual Shauna's decorating/design skills are superb!
