During the Thanksgiving break, I took the opportunity to attempt a photo for our Christmas card. I thought it was the least Sir Charles could do to pose for us. I mean, what with all of his comforter destruction as of late.
I think he is modeling his, "rasta-man", look here.
To say it was a struggle to keep his attention is a supreme understatement.
Secret Agent Man was behind me with doggie bacon....to no avail.
It's possible he was getting a bit tired of our antics at this point.
But, we did manage to get a few good photos out of the bunch.
Seriously, I think he loved wearing the scarf.
the hat & scarf are to cute. what a perfect christmas card. not sure how you will pick the one? so sweet. (:
ReplyDeletemade me laugh! and the other dogs get ignored?
ReplyDeletetexwisgirl - The other dogs don't get ignored. We usually try to get a couple in the photo each year. We have not ever really been successful in getting all of them to sit for a photo!
ReplyDeleteIf Baron sees me he isn't going to sit still for a photo...I agree "rasta-man" certainly seems to be comfy in that scarf...and I love the look he's giving you and hubby in the first shot. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Left me with a smile. This is absolutely my favorite time of the year. (Hugs)Indigo
ReplyDeleteAhhh...the challenge of taking a Christmas card picture. You did well, though!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the trouble with a pose together...
ReplyDeleteHow to choose, eh? Lovely shots and I'm particularly liking the first one and the last one.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, thats just about how many times it now takes mom to get a photo of both of us together lol.
ReplyDeleteMight get Tess to put some out takes on her blog spot.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes it means alot to me, sorry I have not paid you a visit in a while, we just have so much going on :(
Have a good week
See Yea George xxx
I like it.... and it looks a lot simpler to do that my "required" annual: the dreaded Christmas letter. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteaww that is so sweet....I'm gonna try to get all our furbabies together for a photo...we will see..
ReplyDeleteAll animated photographs but I think the scarf takes the prize. But, Rasta dog had a fun look in his eyes; Oh, the kids are cute too
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! You didn't ask, but I'm voting for the last shot.
ReplyDeleteBeverly - I did use the last shot and actually made a collage card using some of the funny shots mixed in.
ReplyDeleteHe is too cute for words! As are these photos!!
ReplyDeleteStop by and enter my Shabby Apple Giveaway!
I love the one where he's kissing your daughter.
ReplyDeleteSir Charles looks like he's really for a nap in the last shot.
ReplyDeleteHow joyful your life seems to be. Impressive. Please have you all a good week ahead.
ReplyDeleteHi Farmchick, Add my vote for the last one ... it's perfect! : - )
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought two year-olds were difficult to photograph! Love the last one -- perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the character and fun in all the pictures. I think I'm sending a New Year's card at this rate but maybe I'll still get one pulled together in December :). My not so asked for but I'll jump on the band wagon is for the last capture!
ReplyDeleteI would go with the first shot! They are all great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card this will be, and only the readers of your blog will know how many "takes" it took to get perfection :)!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your house that you shown in your header today. It looks so warm and inviting!
Oh, they are all cute. ha. He really looks like he's posing in that first photo! :)
ReplyDeleteyour kids are adorable, btw...
The last one was my favorite. I really loved the red from the barn as a backdrop. Our barns are not painted so I wouldn't be able to get the same effect. I need to get started on mine, though. Have a great week back at school.
ReplyDeleteThe camera loves him... eventually. Looks like it'll be a great card.
ReplyDeleteIn the first image, he definitely is giving you a look that probably goes like this: "How could you do this to ME!!!??!!!"
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of the last one.
LOL - these are all great shots ! Just as with small children I think the only way to get those 'perfectly posed' shots is to keep shooting so there's lots to choose from. But I always like the candid ones over those 'perfect' ones anyway !
ReplyDeleteIt is a brave and intrepid photographer that endeavors to capture the essence of children and dogs.. and it was fun to see the ones you took and then... the last one.. was the "money shot". Love it!!

Too cute!!
ReplyDeleteSomehow, it seems the making of the photo usually ends up being more fun and memorable than the actual one keeper. (Btw, the scarf is quite stylish.)
ReplyDeleteIt is the VERY LEAST he could do for you after the comforter incident! :)
ReplyDeleteCute photos!
What great pictures! I think they're all keepers. You might have to do a collage!
ReplyDeleteWe tried doing a photo with our dogs one year and we took the pics at night outside. The dogs eyes soaked in all the flash and they looked like the devil dogs they are...
Great shots. We tried our Christmas card photo posing yesterday and still need to edit them to see if we choose one.
ReplyDeletewhat a precious crew....too cute!
ReplyDeletei hope your turkey day was filled with family and love ♡
Good job.....
ReplyDeleteWhich one did you choose? Last one?
That dog is so cute! The last two photos are great..my favorite is the second to the last with your Charles 'smiling'!
ReplyDelete:))
ReplyDeleteThe rasta man look is so good!
3 cute models!!!:)
ReplyDeleteI think he was down with the scarf too! But I am quite partial to the first one with him cutting his eyes at ya! hahah
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! Think maybe the last one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics of the kiddos! Any would make a perfect Christmas card! Merry Christmas my "small town" friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots that depict the attention span. You've got a couple of card contenders here. Here in the UK, there is a TV media phrase ... "never work with children or animals" !!
