Civil War!!

I have been dreading getting our family picture taken.....it's so much work, so much stress, so many tears, so much screaming and that's just from me!!!! Aww, I'm kidding but it is a ton of work.....and stress. But Scott had a great idea and I thought, why not???

Coordinating our outfits is the tricky part. He suggested we wear Oregon Duck shirts (if you don't live in Oregon or you don't care about football, yesterday was the Civil War. Oregon State and University of Oregon were the teams playing). I did a run to Marshall's and cleaned out their stock of Uof O shirts! And the result????

See for yourself!!!
Just the girls!
Just the boys!

So watch your mailboxes, our Christmas letter will soon be making it's way to your home with this adorable, crazy family picture enclosed!! If you don't receive our letter and picture every year and would like to, send me a note with your address, so I can add you to our list!

What a fun idea! It reminds me of an extended-family photo I saw once. The grandparents were in the middle dressed like referees, and each of their kids (and families) were all dressed up like a sport. (One family was tennis, one was baseball, one football, etc.) It was so cute because they were all acting out their part in the picture, one of the refs was blowing a whistle and the other was signaling "Safe!" with her hands.

Cute idea Sandi...We just might have to use that one.

Can't wait for your card and picture in the mail...Now to get mine done.....Maybe for the new year.
