I didn't feel like getting professional pictures taken for our Christmas cards this year and I've already posted our best photos on Facebook. I came up the idea of using wrapping paper as a background and taking our own picture of the kids in front of it. I looked on Pinterest and saw a few people had the same idea and it looked like the pictures came out well. I let the kiddies pick out which wrapping paper of our stock they wanted to use. I had just enough of the penguin paper but used red paper at the bottom which did show up a little. My daughter had decorated little wood Christmas trees the day before and my husband taped them up at the top to add a personal touch to the pictures. I dressed up the kids in their Christmas outfits. My daughter's favorite stuffed animal "Piggy" ended up in the picture as well but I didn't mind. It was super cute. Having two toddlers take a good posed picture is not easy but having them involved in the planning helped. Here are a few of the best shots. The close-up shot was cropped from a larger picture and used for the photo card I ordered through Picaboo with a Groupon. I definitely recommend this super easy way to have a cute background for your pictures!!
