Back to the drawing (or photo) board................

Getting a good Christmas card picture is virtually impossible in our household. I had to bribe the children with ice cream at 9:00 in the morning to get them to perform and I STILL didn't come back in with a card-worthy picture. I am constantly reminding Cade to just do a "normal child smile".........This one is borderline but is alot better than the one he usually does where his nostrils flare and one feels certain that the ligaments in his neck are going to burst from his skin. I'm not sure whom Grant is smiling at........but he's doing a good job of it. This is Rhett's normal camera face. He is screaming "CHEESE" at the top of his lungs. Yet again, not a good look for a card...............

The pose on the slide: also, not a winner. Rhett has lost interest and Cade? too much sunshine? playing peek-a-boo? not sure. Grant is pulling through one more time with a good face. I may have to superimpose his head into another shot. Well, I won't because I'm not that computer smart....but I have a friend who is! Moments later everyone collapses. Check out the static cling in Rhett's hair. I'm surprised Grant's isn't flying everywhere as well. It usually does. Cade could be in a speed boat heading straight for a tornado and his hair wouldn't budge.
This is the last photo. I think this will be the one for the card being that it appropriately depicts my life at home...............a bunch of boys in a pile doing who-knows-what.
I'll make one more attempt at a good shot. Hopefully the next photo session will meet with better luck!
