TRYING to take Family Pictures 2010 Edition ~

I have tried YEAR after YEAR to get a good Family Picture...

At first they were EASY it was just Matt and myself... how hard can that be??

Not hard at all, take a summer picture of us wake boarding and we are good to go.

But once you add children, there is ALMOST no hope...

I just pray that the people who get our lovely Holiday Card are proud that we were able to get a picture with all of us looking at the camera at the same time...

Here are the pictures that "turned out..." 

 Thanks Landon for HAVING to hold the leaf, and WHERE are you looking Hailey?

Oh goodness, I look like a deer stuck in a car's headlights...

 Thank you again Landon for having the leaf and the annoyed "What are we doing at this place when the park is over there?" look on your face. That is Hailey's look RIGHT before she is going to do something bad...

 Hailey LOOK AT THE CAMERA... LANDON SMILE, ACT like you like us PLEASE!!

 This is me saying " No kids the camera is over HERE, stop looking at the squirrel!!"

 Wait... WHAT... We are ALL looking at the camera... who cares that Hailey has a "stank face" look, I think we have a WINNER!!

 Me tickling Landon so he stops whinning...

 Oh, see what I was talking about... no kids... SO Much easier... should I just send this one??

 Daddy and Landon playing Patty Cake while Mommy runs after Hailey... why did I wear high heals again??

 Hailey found a stick... can't you tell? And she obviously found something else more important to look at than the silly little camera... Landon what a face, and check out my silly look...

HAHA! Landon is laughing and Hailey is VERY much more interested in her stick than making me happy and looking at the camera...

 This was the only time we got her to sit without a fight! :)

 I think our Backsides just might be our best picture of all...

Again, just the two of us... EASY... LOVE this picture!

Thank you Kresta for the AMAZING pictures! I really do love them because they will remind me of how our little family was in 2010. My advise for those with young ones that want that PERFECT family picture... You won't get it... but you will LOVE the pictures you do get!

Happy Holidays ALL!!
