Family Pic

Family pictures are SO not my favorite thing to try and pull off. We had to try and coordinate 24 people in a single effort of posing and smiling at the same time. Really!?! Have you met my family? Not to mention the fact that 9 of those people are under the age of 8 and are related to us. Oh well, I guess we gave it our best shot. =)

Funny thing is, I think this picture is more true to who we really are than any 'normal' picture.

See 'normal' picture of the siblings and I just don't know that I believe it.

Do smiles get any better than a kids?

If I'd only been taller this might have worked out better. =(

Guess for now this will be as good as it gets.

At least until the next time we have to do family pictures. And since two of my sisters are pregnant, that means by next Summer they'll be out of date again.

You are so pretty and photogenic. We got family pictures taken a few days ago, and you are right, trying to get everyone together and actually SMILE (GOOD) the first time is nearly impossible! Ah.

Thanks. Maybe the inlaws are wearing off. I married into a family that has pictures down to an art.

Funny thing is I think the first picture they took was the best. It just went down hill from there. Lol.

Very cute! You and your husband's pic turned out great! I feel your pain when it comes to the whole "good" picture thing. It's nearly impossible! Especially when kids are involved:)

Love the family picture! Reminds me of all those days I snuck over to your house after school to hang out with the Roe family. :)
