A few years ago, desperate for an amazing gift for my in-laws, Court and his siblings got together for a funny family portrait. Little did we know at the time, that it would become more exciting to us than pretty much anything else during the Christmas season. (There are links at the end of this post to all of the past photos!)
This year we decided to take a trip to Whoville, and what would you know,
We found The Grinch on a Wrecking Ball putting on a show.
To make our lips nice and puffy we used grapes (a trick my friend Brooke taught me!) It is SO hard to keep them in, especially when you laugh. I am sure you can imagine.
But in case you cant, here is how most of the pictures turned out…
Of course we cant have a wrecking ball without some twerking…
We covered our garage door with wrapping paper, set up a tripod and went to town.
And in case you are wondering, yes, our neighbors did come out…
(please notice the rogue grape above)
I seriously love this family and all of the weirdness embracing that happens on a daily basis.
If you need just a little more laughter today…

I don’t know why my name was in Caps. I couldn’t fix it. Please tell us how you did the hair! I would like to know if all of the photo hair and props were real or photoshop. You may like the following: hopefully the link will work

I’ve not laughed so hard in a LONG time! I’ve been laid up since Christmas sick with the ‘crud’ and this just threw me into a coughing/laughing/peeing fit! THANK YOU!
These are hysterical! All that work–impressive! I’m also wondering how in the heck you did the hair? We drove through St George on Sunday on our way back from Las Vegas. What a beautiful place!
Love, love, love this! Soooo very jealous!
