Today at 11:30 a.m. I came to the realization that we had not taken Christmas pictures. So, I quickly called the local portrait studio and made an afternoon appointment for the entire family. Normally, I only do pictures of my kids, but today I was feeling a little more adventurous. The next step of course was deciding what we would all wear. After going in circles about who had this color and who didn't have that color, I began to wonder who would be offended to get a Christmas card of all of us stark raving naked. Thank God, I discovered we all had something red and something black. (a bit boring, but we would be clothed)
When we arrived at the studio, my kids were already not digging the whole concept. Jaden wanted to take a picture on a motorcycle, and Gabby just wanted to go home. When they called us back Edgar's comments about why he couldn't sit the way the photographer wanted him to sent all of us into hysterics. So then we all have those abnormally huge show every tooth in your mouth smiles and huge veins popping out of our foreheads from laughter. To make a very long story short, seriously...why is it so hard to get one good picture of four people sitting less than 3 inches from one another?? These are life questions that never seem to be answered for me.

Those ARE good....you all look fabulous! I was excited to see them and need some for my Christmas present! However....I do totally get the stress of picture day. I start sweating when I wake up that day trying to make all the stars align and everything go perfectly so their hair is its place and they are happy. Its torture for all involved.
Great Picture Steph!
I can only IMAGINE what Edgar had to say!
Love you!
