We waited so late that is was pretty much a lost cause for Christmas cards this year…

Needless to say, we did not quite get to our typical mass mailout of cards. [Side note confession: Now I feel a bit squirmish when I bump into people to whom we usually send one, even if they never reciprocate but especially if they do! Ugh. Grace please, friends.]

…But one Sunday, the littles and I stayed home from church since Sis was getting over an ear infection.

…So before Hubs and Big Bro got home, I dragged the kitchen table into the adjoining room…

…And put my camera on top of a chair on top of the table…

…And set my timer to grab a pic or two as soon as all my people were home…

We’re a beautiful mess, what can I say.

Phewf. Git ‘er done.

So we wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas!

…Of course you KNOW I love a little strategic photoshopping… Soften the bags and wrinkles on me & hubs… Sis, what is that face? Let’s not smile quite so emphatically, m’kay? Hmm, switch that out for one where you are smiling normally… And Li’l Bro, why aren’t you smiling? You look a bit like you swallowed a bogey flavored Bertie Botts every flavored bean. Over the whole “everybody smile” thing, huh? I get that–we’ll fix that too with the mouth from another frame. No worries. And Big Bro, why are you looking so grown up?? Guess there’s nothing to be done there… but next year, you might not be able to stand in front of us anymore!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand that’s a wrap y’all! Happy Christmas 2014 from all of us at CampClem. And I wish each and every one of you a wondrous 2015, wheeee!
