Photo Booth Fun

If you listen to Mid-Morning - and more specifically, to BLT - you already know this part of the story. But if not, this will be new! :) Every week, Lynne and I share some of our favorite Pinterest finds, and we pin them all on our We Like it Wednesdays board. Last week we did our BLT show two days before Christmas, so I tried to find some things to pin that could be implemented last minute. One thing I stumbled upon was this blog post - where the blogger created some ULTRA CUTE Christmas photo booth props. She said she just hung up wrapping paper to make a backdrop, cut out the props after printing them on card stock, and attached them to rods. DONE!!

I thought this would be the most fun addition to our family Christmas, so I asked Mom if it would be okay. She said yes...so on Christmas Eve, I ran to the store for card stock, printed out the props, and taped them to some wooden skewers I had. I took our leftover roll of wrapping paper, and headed for Mama's house. Check this out!!


 We took the photo booth to the sickie....





Ryan's mom loved it so much, she asked us to bring the booth to the next Christmas gathering - the one that night at Allen's parents' house. So we did! We set up the booth in their gathering room and had more fun!





 Even his grandparents got in on the fun! Pretty sure this made EVERYONE'S day! We clapped for them after their picture!
 Grandpa with all his boys!
We also took the booth to the Christmas we celebrated just this past Saturday with Ryan's mom's side of the family...and they had a great time with it too!
 Sisters!!!!
 All the siblings...
 Another generation of sisters...
 ...and with their beautiful mama!

What FUN memories came out of a few minutes of printing, cutting, and taping...and some leftover wrapping paper! This is my favorite Christmas memory this year. Watching everyone just put aside everything for a little minute and have some fun!!
