My 12 Favorite Christmas Card Photo Fails

wakeme 300x199 My 12 Favorite Christmas Card Photo FailsOne of my favorite parts of taking our Christmas photos has become looking at the photo fails.

I still giggle when I read last year’s photo fail post.

While I love a great photo, there’s beauty in the shots that don’t go quite as planned.

And putting words into the mouths of your children? Ridiculous amounts of fun!

Here are a handful of the best photo fails from our photo shoot this year, followed by the card we ultimately sent (notice that we never did get a usable shot of them together!).

A special thank you to Tiny Prints, who year after year, deliver the perfect Christmas card.

Now, it’s your turn!

Please come by the Kid Scoop Facebook page and upload and share one of your favorite photo fails. We’d love to have you add a caption too!

You’re assuming I took special holiday photos instead of assembling 8 ready photos for the purpose ;)

Your “outtakes” are hilarious, and so not actually that bad.

This is hilarious, love the first one where she is giving him “the look.” We have one of my boys strangling each other while my husband reads them ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas… pretty much how life goes in our house :).

Oh my gosh. This is such a cute idea. I know you hear this everyday, but, your children are picture perfect gorgeous.

Cheers to a spectacular new year!

Too funny. That’s a perfect summary of what it’s like to have little kids.

The one with the cat in it totally cracked me up.

What?? No one’s crying?

You totally didn’t do it right, then. ;)

Thought this was such a great idea and your kiddos are absolutely adorable! I think you’ve started a new Christmas tradition for us! Thanks! =)

I like the sneaky guest you had!

Just stumbled across this and it made me laugh out loud! I love this idea and will definitely be doing something like this next year to send to family. Loved the final one too!
