:( thought my xmas card idea was original

MrsLeanna

I know it's silly, but indulge me! 

I got a big chrsitmas-y lollipop and I was going to put alexis in a red tutu and have her eating the lollipop.  Anyway - I've seen the lollipop thing already a few times.  I'm still going to do it b/c I think it's cute, I'm just sad it's not as original as I thought it was!!

so thats what the tutu is for! mady's tutu is for xmas eve...her holiday pics are gonna be sitting next to our tree while she is wearing xmas pjs and eating santas cookies and milk

That's  why I don't want to spend a lot on a tutu it's just for pictures!  Her xmas eve dress is black velvet with a white sash - I also need to find black mary janes for that outfit   Always something!!!

It doesn't matter that it's been done before (it was our card last year), it's cute.  AND it keeps the kid from running around like a crazy person because it's a bribe in a photo.  Make sure to get a big one though because a dum dum isn't half as cute.

MrsLeanna

LOL Dawn!! Maybe subconsciously I remember seeing your pictures from last year   The bribery was my goal, since getting alexis to sit still ever is nearly impossible!

yes I found a huge red, white, and green swirly one at Michaels.

Do what you want - it does not matter how original it is as long as you like it. Alexis will be adorable with her tutu and lollipop even if she is not the first kid to be seen with the combination. Just print them fast so that if there are any other moms you know with the same idea - yours get there first! LMAO! 

We printed a standard picture of the three of us in front of Cinderella's castle as our Christmas Card. You know THAT has NEVER been done before. Haha.

Aww..that's a cute idea! It may be original to your list of friends and family so I say go for it. I made Chelsea a tutu, but not sure if we're using it for our holiday photo yet.

I think it's adorable even if it's not the most original idea in the world. Go for it! Alexis is going to look totally adorable
