Although I really do love receiving them, I haven't sent out Christmas cards for years now. But I have started a new tradition along those lines.
Instead of giving you the gift a a perfect family photo where matching outfits abound and oceans, train tracks, grassy knolls, or dark alleys can be found peppering the backgrounds and all bribed participants (including the husbands) are looking at the camera . . . I give you the gift of ugly. Ugly Hagen photos. Mostly of me cuz I don't want my family to hate me. Self esteem boosters to all. Go ahead, feel better about how hot you are. I'm okay with it cuz I'm a giver.
1. Sometimes when you are a stay-at-home mom you just look like this. All day long.

2. When I speak to women I usually try to fit the term "Duh" in there somewhere.

3. When I speak to women I try to make it look as though I have gotten zero sleep the night before.

4. Yea, I sometimes do leave the house like this. This particular ball of beauty happened at the dermatologist. Lydia was sweet enough to steal my hat and capture it on film.

5. What's that movie called?
The Exorcist?

6. I am a huge proponent of sleep. Even if it costs you.

7. You take photos of me open-mouthed car sleeping . . . then you better watch your back. Or your face.

8-10. As I looked through the photos from the year, I realized something. A lot of times Jordis sports the white-trash look. And I have to ask, at what point do you blame the parents for this? Don't answer that.



11. No big deal. It's not like we are in a public place or anything. Just the airport.

12. This may be the scariest photo of one of my children I have ever seen. I'm just not sure how this happened. Elijah, if you ever get a girlfriend I don't like I will blow this up and give it to her.

As far as traditional family photos go . . . here you go. Merry Christmas!
May all your kids look at the camera and smile at the same time!
