We went to the beach today in hopes of caputuring a few “picture perfect moments” with the idea we could use those for our Christmas Cards….yes its early but I still remember last year when they arrived at our house on the 23rd–what a mess! That combined with the fact that mail down here is really slow….I figured I’d get a head start.
Insert 2 year old toddler who LOVES the beach and the LAST thing she wants to do is sit still. Dance, Run, Splash, Swim…..all of that and more. But look angelically INTO the camera, not a chance!

I really like the second photo, though. That might work as a christmas card! The color of that water is so beautiful – what an amazing shade of blue!
I agree, the “beach dance” photograph is a brilliant Christmas card, especially if the card was white with gold text and a cheerful “Seasons Greetings” just to make everyone in colder climates go green with envy!
You did get some GREAT pics of her! Maybe not what you intended, but oh so Sophia at 2, right?
