Xmas Card Exchange -- Please Share Your Picture! UPDATED

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Listening to you all talk about starting to receive your Xmas cards always makes me so sad.  The reason that I never join the group is because the most stressful thing that I do all year is to try and get a descent picture for their Christmas Card.  I of course make it more difficult because I want there to be snow and I want my decorations up to try and use in the pictures.  I wait for the first snow, I take hundreds of pictures, and with each bad picture I stress a little more.  Always made more difficult because the snow will always come through the week, it is dark out by the time DH gets home, and I have to try and do these with two dogs by myself.  Finally, I decide that I've just run out of time and I have to use something that I have.  My girls aren't real cooperative when the camera comes out which makes it even more difficult.  Oh, and I forgot to mention I'm terrible with a camera.  So, I didn't get my pictures done in time to join a group, but I still wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and share Lucy & Sophies card!  I've included 2 cards.  The one with both of them we will be using for the Residents and staff at the Ohio Veteran's Home and the one of just Sophie we will be using for the Patients and Staff at the Mercy Hospital where just Sophie visits!  I also still have a few that I haven't gotten done yet that will be for our Foster families.

 

So, I'd love to see some others even though I didn't get my act together in time to join!  Will you share with me.UPDATE:  I'm updating to include the picture I finally finished today for the families of the Doodles we fostered this year, along with the girls picture with Santa today!  Thanks so much to everyone for posting your pictures I'm having a great time seeing them!

Toby is so good natured to have Santa hold him.  Very cute picture!

[Debbie and Toby]

Thanks, Diane...Since Toby wouldn't sit by Santa on his chair, Santa relocated to the floor...it only lasted a couple of minutes then Toby made a run for the door.....and that was the end of the pictures.... !

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

That is one nice Santa and a very cute doodle.

[Dori & Rua]

First time I have ever seen Santa floored!  LOL! 

 

Silly me, I didn't even think of taking a digital picture of Rua with Santa.  My DH's boss wanted to see a picture of Rua with Santa (I think he was thinking that who in their right mind would actually take a dog to see Santa), so I had to take a picture of the picture.  As you can see, they didn't do a terrific job of ratio...1/12 Rua and 11/12's Santa...LOL!

How nice of Santa to relocate, and it's such a cute photo.

This Santa is by far the most rakish one I have seen.  I just love how his hat sweeps over one eye.

Cute photos, I love your doodle's expression in the first picture.

Well, my family hasn't gotten a Christmas card from us yet but our Doodlekisses friends now have one!

 

Merry Christmas everyone.
