It finally happened! My hopes and dreams for our family Christmas card finally came true. For several years we had wanted to recapture the magic of the Olan Mills classic "floating head" picture. Mostly because we thought it would be funny if my grandma thought that Cory's floating head meant that he'd died. And while Cory's untimely death isn't funny, confusing grandma sometimes is.
Jami was very gracious to cast her pearls (photography skills & studio) before swine (us).
In preparation for this photo shoot, we had to start carbo loading in 2007, track down toddler bifocals and call in a coupol'a favors from people who had spare turtlenecks willing to loan. Also, Jami has never forgotten the power of a hot curling iron coupled with Aussie Sprunch Spray (Maximum Hold).

I thought the card was good. The outtakes are even better. Laughing my head off. You've got skills (and a strong sense of self-worth). Hands down favorite Christmas card of the century. Love it.
Alissa, you may have "self-worth" confused with "lack of shame". Let me know when you and Ryan are ready to borrow the cat sweater. XO.
There are simply no words. Only the sign language gesture for "more" comes to mind. Pretty sure that broadobald fam pics is my new crack. I need more...
OMG, I pee'd my pants a little when I saw the xmas card, but I pee'd my pants a lot when I saw these outtakes! You should have totally put a link in your xmas card to these outtakes!
Jenna, thank you for bringing joy and peace to all the land. XOXO Jeni
Sally Jesse Raphael called and wants her glasses back. Actually, I'm pretty sure your glasses were identical to mine that I wore in the 8th grade. I love how into it Calvin was, he'll look back at these photos one day and say he had the coolest/ peculiar parents around :) These pics will go down as best Christmas pics of all-time. Congrats my friend! You guys freaking rock!
