Christmas Photo Card Background - Wrapping Paper and Crafts

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!!
