Without Further Ado…I bring you our Christmas card (awkward family style).

A few of the pictures closer up for your viewing enjoyment:
Ride that train.
The boys didn’t quite understand why they were forced to wear turtlenecks and sweater-vests…but Lucy knew, she was like totally embarrassed, mom.
I knew that mistletoe headband would pay for itself…we’ve had it for 11 years, and it continues to bring joy and happiness to all who wear it.
Every prop closet should have a rifle?? *editor/wife’s note: my husband is not a pedophile…even though several people have commented that the moustache lends him a certain air of creepy pervertedness.
Have you had enough yet?!! I have. My poor, poor grandmother was SO very confused by the card. She called my mom up and was like, “I didn’t know Kelly wore glasses? Why are they dressed like that?” She (along with a few others) didn’t get the joke. I think she was bummed because she didn’t have a ‘cute’ card that she could bring with her to show off at the beauty parlor. I might send her a new card, just so she can show her friends without fear of humiliation!!
And for those of you that are new to the blog and have never seen pictures of my family…here we are looking ‘normal’ (is it pathetic that I feel the need to justify our looks to the general public?)! Sadly, I don’t have an updated family picture (except for the awkward ones, I guess that needs to be remedied!).
Kor and I on our trip last February. Eating dinner on our cruise….eating is the best part of any vacation!! See, Kor is super cute, not creepy!
And my kiddos from this fall. They clean up real nice
Hey, since you’re here…FOLLOW me on FACEBOOK!
I’m not gonna lie…this is not an original idea…I’m sure other have done similar shoots like this, but I first saw a card like this done by photographers bobbi and mike. They are super cool and creative, and I hope they don’t mind that I borrowed their idea

I always love your work, & your whimsical “edge”. These are hilarious!! Great job!
So fun! Totally 80′s! Love the creativity.
Your blogs crack me up and make my day! Hilarious!!!
Love it!!! You are hilarious Kelly.
Merry Christmas to your family! Hope to see you at the TCPPA next year.
haha! LOL on your grandma not ‘getting it’ – too funny!
LOL LOVE THEM!!!! My hubby wants family portraits of us and our two girls with mullets and an 80s laser background lol
OMG Kelly, that is too funny. I so was trying to convince my husband to do the same theme for ours this year and he refused. I think your husband has more of a sense of humor than mine.
Haha! This is hilarious! I love it – your family is such a good sport about it all.
Merry Christmas!
Way hilarious! Out load laughs going on here- that one with the gun is so so funny! I totally got it! Thanks for sharing!
This is pure awesomeness!!! I looooove it!
AHHH-mazing! Love that grandma didn’t get it
OH MY GOODNESS- this is the funniest thing have seen! I LOVE the rifle photo- ha ha. I live in Texas and I do think that some people think this is what good photography is. HA HA
two words, 1.freakin’ 2.fantastic!!
I think you should have a “awkward family mini session” next year!!
If I was making a Holiday2011 Top Ten list, this would be at the top!!
OMG this was hilarious!! You did a great job because I was wondering if this was real myself!! How funny!!!
AWESOME. That is all.
Love these! Clearly they are such a fun family!
Kelly, I really love you for getting your whole family on board with this… I totally think the best part is that your grandma and others just didn’t get it
I would love to go to the Sears portrait studio to do this and confuse the crap out of them too…
Look forward to your Blogs everyday. Anyone that knows Kory, can understand. What a fun family thing to do. Happy Holidays to the Klatt family from ours.
This is hilarious! I was ROTF about the pedophile comment.
you ROCK! I love this idea. I almost couldn’t believe that is the same guy by the way, hilarious!!!!! I may gather stuff to do this with my family next year. (there’s 10 kids, how fun would that be!)
Your Christmas cards are awesome!!! So funny!!
totally awesome.. Love these.
That is hysterical!!! LOVE it!!!
Merry Christmas and thanks for the giggle!
Totally adorable! I love stuff like this. Going to do this next year. Merry Christmas!
This is awesome!! Too funny. I wonder how many “Bad family picture” sites your picture are going to end up on and people will never know it was a joke.
Though that hardly even looks like you and your husband so you will be pretty safe.
And I have to admit- the first thing I think when I see a little mustache like that is pedophile
That was just awesome!
so great!!! love it, I often make cards people don’t get!!
Love the bangs! ♥ What a clever idea, I’d be thrilled to get a card like this in the mail!
You are a RIOT! Love these. You look like you are 12 in the awkward photos… maybe that’s why your dh looks creepy to others, lol. Congrats on the great SEO you are going to get out of this!
Hi! Thanks for the shout out.
