.....would someone PLEASE come over to our house and take our Christmas picture with our mom and dad???  We moved, ya know, and we want to send out those neat "We Moved" cards at Christmas, but mom doesn't have any recent "done" pictures of the house.  Hard to believe, we know, especially after all the pics she dumped on you guys here during the construction.  We tried to tell her "enough already!" but she wouldn't listen, being all in love with her house and all like she was, and STILL IS we might add.  She could sure use an interior decorator to help decide what to do with all the STUFF she collected for the house all these years, we got lots of wall to fill up.

You have no idea how much I'd LOVE to come take your Christmas picture! I am about to order a studio lighting set up with the umbrellas and whole shebang (Hallie is so going to get sick of posing lol). I'm sure you will come up with something great as you always do but I am wishin' I could come help!

[PattyInAK]

We sure wish you could help, too, Aunt Dee Dee, you take such beautiful pictures.  And our mom is so particular about angles and getting the right stuff in the background, etc., so we don't have trees growing out of the tops of our heads and stuff.  You know how to do all that stuff real well.  We can't wait to see this years picture of Hallie!

I wish I could try my new stuff out on you guys! My friends love it when I get a new photography toy they end up with free pics while I practice.

LOL yes photoshop is a BIG help with trees growing out of peoples heads. Most of my horse pictures are action shots and it's impossible sometimes not to have things like that happen as the horse is running around. Usually not a problem since the idea is I will paint them but still nice to be able to remove stuff in photoshop.

Hallie has her Christmas picture all done! Woo hoo.
