The makings of a family photo…..

Why is this so hard? Oh yes I know – 5 people (3 of whom think its some funny game to torture their mother with) are nearly impossible to get looking in the same direction and smiling normally all in the same photo.  I guess that’s why Photoshop was invented.  Just too bad I don’t know how to use it.

Last weekend we attempted family pictures for our annual Christmas cards.

There were no clear winners.

But there were some clear losers.

 

Um… 5 year old boy on ladder to train… not a good idea.  61/2 year old girl who wants to be on ladder to train … also not a good idea.

And poor Beckett - this got a little too ‘Michael Jackson-ish’ for me….

It appears that Leif thinks he can do a better job at getting Beckett to look into the camera….

Yep,  not as easy as he thought it would be.  Oh well.  The car got in the way too.

Thanks to our dear friend Amy who put up with us. 

And we did get this precious one.

I can't wait to see the actual Christmas card! I can relate to this whole situation.....why can't they all just look the same way for 1 second?!!?!! Even if everyone is not looking still shows a beautiful family!

adorable pictures! I can totally relate! Impossible with 3 children! Wasn't it hard just getting ready for the pictures? We did ours recently and it took an act of God just to get us all in the car to go! Happy Thanksgiving! Take care. Gina
