Holiday Photo Shoot


We here at Chez DeLap are a silly bunch.

We like to have fun with things that aren't suppose to be funny.

Our jokes are sometimes sacrilegious.

I come from a long line of sarcastic, sacrilegious, humorists.

The faint of heart sometimes have difficulty with this.

We usually only share this love of shocking humor with people we love and trust.

But today I am going to share with the universe.

Holiday pictures that arrive with your Christmas cards tend to be very serious.  Very "honoring the Savior and trying to look good at the same time."

A few years back, we thought...what if we mixed it up a bit?  For one thing...let's send out Christmas cards.  For another thing...lets send out a card that is funny.

We bought Hillbilly teeth.  I am certain our lord and savior would be offended by hillbilly teeth.  I am offended by hillbilly teeth.

We sent out pictures, regular family portraits, with our card. But we all had hillbilly teeth.

Our friends thought it was hilarious...some family members were offended.  (Not my family.)

The really great thing about the project was that we had the best time doing it.  We laughed and laughed and giggled, and fought...ahhh, Chez DeLap at it's finest.

This year we were at it again.

I am not sure when I will get these bad boys printed and sent out, maybe by Ground Hogs Day.  When is Ground Hogs Day?

This year again, as all pervious years...we had a blast.  An evening spent together...laughing and fighting.  Ain't nothin' like FAMILY!
We fought because everyone wasn't doing it my way.  Maybe they will listen better next year.
Before...


Getting in the mood...

"Oh yeah right Mom!..."

Actually enjoying himself.

Here it comes...


You will never see us the same again...

I warned you.


Getting ready is where the fun is really at.
See how much fun we are all having?



Those of us with a sense of style and artistry  were really gettin' our grove on.


Happy Holidays from our dysfunctional home to yours!
