Christmas Eve

Before the camera goes off, someone yells cheese it, and they all take that as, a free for all. Some take the serious or tough pose, others truly cheese it and then I don't dare move for fear I would regret it.

Christmas Eve we all gathered to take family pictures. Not professional as you can see. Really who would be able to handle this group in a professional setting. We tried to all be cooperative and do whatever Mallory told us to do. We snapped several group shots and some with Grandma and Grandpa with the grand kids. Then I went in the kitchen to get dinner put out to eat. Apparently the camera kept clicking away. I scanned through the several shots the kids took of themselves and spared you all the pain of the rest. My kids are just a bunch of hams! They seriously love the camera.

I chose a picture that looked like all the kids were smiling. Didn't realize that Alan and I were both staring at something different. Who can get a picture where everyone is perfect anyway? Two of the kids had to turn their shirts around backwards cause they had spilled something on them just before pictures. Ya just a typical day.

Ok, sorry I wasn't counting before I published this one. I really do have 5 kids, not 4. I guess Tiffany was taking this one.

They rarely take a normal picture. They always have to clown it up some how. This was a mild one when compared to the others. (a small disclaimer... Tiffany is pregnant and Heather just had a baby...thus the extra weight, so what's my excuse??.)

OK, so I went into the other room to wait while I was down loading another picture. K, so imagine this. I walk into the living room to Jason with his shirt up in back and an arrow sticking out . With Brittany and Corben trying to stick another one into his bare back and his forehead. (Corben got a bow and arrow for Christmas, the kind with the rubber tips. They lick and stick them). They call that entertainment. Then they said, Oh shoot we should have gotten a picture of it. One crazy house hold. Like we usually say. The kids are idiots, their parents must be idiots!
