Christmas Baby picture

DJ was born at the end of November.  So of course we decided to combine birth announcements with the Christmas Card.  We saw what this blogger did and had to try it.  Thanks to our killer photographer Heidi (check her out) we were able to do a great version that we loved.  Our announcements turned out great and I couldn't have been more happy.  Tip: they did not actually stick him in the stocking but just laid it on top of him.  We also got the hat off of a Christmas Teddy bear.  Isn't my son the cutest?

What pictures did you do for babies first Christmas?

Baby picture

My little brother, Clark, was on a mission for our church when my son was born.  They havn't met yet but for Christmas my brother sent DJ "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish".  I wanted to document this sweet gift and send it to Clark so he would know how much we appreciated it.  Conviently DJ's newborn pictures were right around the corner so we borrowed this pinner's idea.

Ours

We changed it around a little but I really like how it turned out.  I'm actually thinking of trying it again the exact way she did now that he is a little older but we couldn't get new baby DJ to work with us on it.  Here is our version

What fun newborn pictures did you take?  Did you include any special things in them?
