I'm fairly new to the blended family thing. SO is currently fighting for custody of his girls. We still see them regularly but their mother is always with us. It sucks but I'm still thankful we get to see them often (there is currently no court order so she's under no obligation to let us have visits). We finally came up with money for an attorney in the beginning of October and have the ball rolling in court. He was pro se before but obviously that wasn't the best decision.
Now onto my question. We want to send out holiday cards. We recently had professional pictures taken but at the last minute the girls mom said something came up and we had to get the pics done without them. We were going to use those pics for holiday cards. Obviously, that's out now.
Do you think it's appropriate to send out holiday cards with professional photos of me + SO together and separate non-professional pics of each child (so it would be collage style)? We don't have any good photos of all 3 kids (it's hard enough getting a decent pic with only one toddler...). I've never seen holiday pictures / cards without professional photos. All my family is out of state so I know they'd like to get recent pictures of the kids.
