1. Life is Tough
The one time when all three agreed on something.
It just so happened that thing we all agreed on was that we were tired of listening to mom tell us to smile.
2. First Birthday
No cake? Are you kidding me?
Can you blame them though? It’s how I always feel when I don’t get cake. Now I just wish I had cake.
3. The Busy Family
There is just a lot going on here.
But what I really want to know is– what is scarf girl pointing at? Is it a bird? A Plane?
4. The Annual Bluebonnet Picture
Getting the yearly Texas bluebonnet picture is an adventure – fire ants, bees, highways and then getting that smile.
I once took this picture with my kids and a snake came by. A SNAKE. We decided that perfect bluebonnet picture wasn’t really in the cards that year… or any year after.
5. Merry Christmas…
From 3/4.
I’d still send this card out. Because it’s awesome.
6. On The Naughty List
Being nice is just really, really hard.
I like how the guy getting his hair pulled is still smiling. Now that is good parenting right there.
7. She Touched Me!
No. She touched me!
I’d be mad if I was the one without snacks, too.
8. Family in Action
One. Two. Three. Jump!
Where’s the littlest girl planning to jump? On top of pink hoodie girl? That seems like a pretty solid plan.
9-10. No Siblings Were Seriously Harmed
When sitting next to each other without violence is unrealistic.
And this is why my brother and I had a tape line down the middle of the backseat.
11. No Kissing!
Don’t even think about it.
Naah, go for it. 🙂
12. Pose Here and Smile!
Not all direction is well-received.
13. If You Come Any Closer…
It isn’t going to be pretty.
14. Act Like You Like Each Other
Hands are not for hitting.
Someone did not get what he wanted for Christmas.
15 & 16. Mom Needs a Photo.
Now.
17 & 18. When the Photo is Nearly Perfect
But nearly doesn’t make it on the family Christmas card.
I am sure you can just crop that out.
19. Not Going to Happen
This stage is set for mutiny.
I’ve been there. There really is such a thing as too many candy canes.
20 & 21. Get in the Picture with Dad
The unexplainable happens when dad is in charge.
A good photo bomb is a thing of beauty.
22& 23. There is Always One
There is always 1 sibling that will “stand out” in the picture to make it more memorable.
But these are the pictures you will love years from now.
24. So Close. Yet So Far.
What I love the best about this photo is that it is mom’s screensaver.
25 & 26. Early Rivalry
It all started with a punch to the nose.
27. Easily Cropped
The happy family plus one.
28. “Say Cheese”
Or ouch!!!
The Not-So-Perfect Family Photo
I adore these so much!
Wouldn’t life be better if this WAS this year’s Christmas card?
Please share your family photos gone awry by sharing them on our FB page! We would love to highlight yours.
