Christmas picture fail.

[kdrake8]

Bought the Picture People groupon. Made an appt for today. When we showed up, they were over an hour behind. Then longer to get the pics. We canceled and left.

I know I was cutting it close. I just wanted Carson to be a few weeks older than his newborn pics.

Now I guess we get no Christmas family pics.

I might try to find a week day when they have a 9am appt and take just them up, so at least I have a pic of their outfits.

Idk what to put on Christmas cards. I'm so disappointed.

[TrudyCampbell]

Oh no! That's so shitty that they were running so late! I'm sorry They couldn't accommodate you at a special time tomorrow or something?

[shevacc]

Boo! Are they booked solid after today? The 9am idea is a good one since they shouldn't be behind first thing, right? And...you could always send New Years cards...or Chinese New Year cards, or Valentine's cards (I'm not known for getting my act together in time for the original holiday).

[carawestt]

Aw I'm sorry!

[kdrake8]

They said they would be booked every evening and weekend like they were today, so there goes DH being in it.

I emailed the lady that did C's newborn pics to see if she happens to have any free time this week where we could just run over (she lives in our plan). Idc about fancy at this point... Just SOMETHING.

If not, idk what we will do about cards.

I'm sorry. Can you go to JCPenneys or something? Their website has availabilities on the booking site.

Good idea!!

[katfco]

If you do Penney's check their coupons. Otherwise it's not really worth it.

Ugh how annoying. Hope that you can figure out an alternative!!!

[spaghetticat]

Can you just do the kids on the cards? Is there anyone else you could take with you to help on a weekday?

I would be so pissed if we were all dressed up and ready and they couldn't do it.

[The Foozzler]

I have a JCP deal I decided not to use because I did the deal for the whole CD. It includes one high res image on CD, 36 greeting cards, and the sitting fees. Let me know if you decide to do JCP and if you want it.

[kdrake8]

Ok, so smart decision to leave.

One of my friends also had an appt there today at 550. She finally got her pics taken at 705. She is STILL THERE waiting to see and choose her pics. She said the manager is being extremely rude to everyone also. What a joke.

I think this is what I'm going to do.

I made an appt just for the kids for the 13th when they open at 9am. MIL will go and help me. Then I guess we will just send happy holiday cards. Hopefully people will understand with C being so little

Is she going to kick you out of those pics too??

[kdrake8]

Here they were from before they left. I would have tried for a better pic had I known it would be the only one we got today.

AAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA WIN!!!!!!

[TrudyCampbell]

AHHH their outfits look adorable!

[thedahliharpa]

They look SO cute in their outfits. If you are pressed for time you can do Happy New Year cards. According to my minted order history I didn't order last year's NYcards until 12/13.
