Say "Cheese"

Over the summer, I saw various blogs with adorable pictures posted of their children. I thought it wouldn't be overly ambitious to attempt the same- and use it as a Christmas card. Mexico seemed to provide the best setting. If only my kids would understand my wish of JUST ONCE having the perfect Christmas card. Tucker immediately went into the ocean at the beginning of the shoot and things just went from bad to worse.

If I was a little more secure, I think I would just send this one out.

It shows all of their personalities so well. Savannah, the teenager, couldn't be less interested. Emmaline, the model, with her picture perfect smile. Oliver, the mischeif maker, this is the funniest idea Mama has ever had. And Tucker. What to say about Tucker? I think his face says it all.

That's so cute! I think you should send it out. I love candid pictures that show how people are really reacting. Savannah's face is hilarious!

Roaring with laughter! By the way - your email made my day. I've been waiting until I have more time to respond, but with sick kids...well you know, I can't get anything done. I want to get together soon. Luv ya

have you heard the story of when Tyler was a kid and his parents were trying to get a good photo of all the kids and parents (pre-digital days)? -- and what cousin Dick, the photographer, thought of their idea?

the first one of tucker in the water is really an awesome shot- from not the mother's perspective.

You two make some beautiful kids! They would look cute no matter what face they are pulling.

So I'm thinking you got one that is more conventional? Can't wait to see it!
