Shouldn't every family hurry and do a family picture over the holidays? When Elizabeth came home, we figured we needed an updated picture to send out with our Christmas cards. So I made all the kids dress in nice clothes for a "quick" pic in the backyard. They were THRILLED! You can tell by this next picture!
I believed that with my nice camera we could just set it up on a chair, set the timer, and come out with a beautiful picture in a few short moments.
Sure!!! "Just a minute kids...."
I can almost figure out the timer....
Wait just a minute....
Found the timer...can't get the camera to balance right....and it needs to be closer to you.....
Too close...but a beautiful picture of Annie!
And a cute one of Elizabeth and Anne..
All right, lets try a different pose....should we let Dad be in the picture. Maybe not, by the look on their faces!
New outfits (and a couple hours later). We are still snapping photos.
The kids are getting tired and a little slap happy!
Pose!
Pose!
Oh no! Off center!
Finally! This is the picture that went out with the Christmas card. It took 96 pictures to get to this one. With a little photo shop, and two trips to Walgreens (they cut off my head in the first batch) we finally had our pictures ready to mail. Picture Perfect!
