One of my goals for Christmas 2008 was to get a nice family shot- all four of us together, relatively clean and happy. How hard can that be?

We tried on Christmas Eve and couldn't coax The Wild Child into the shot.

But she was happy to "cheese" for me while she ate lunch.

Tried again on Christmas Day but I couldn't even talk Mr. Sasha into posing again at first.

And here, my dear readers, is as good as it gets. The Wild Child was squirming away, but by damn, it's a pic of all four of us. And no one is crying. Score one for mom.
aw...i think they're all good!! your kids are soooo cute!
ReplyDeletei know what you mean though! it always takes like 10 pics for us to get a good one!
I think that all the pics are presh but the last one dod turn out really good. Job well done :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are such a beautiful family! I love all the pics!
ReplyDeleteI call it a success when everyone's eyes are in the general direction of the camera.
ReplyDeleteYou did great!!
You have a beautiful family.
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteLOL! There seems to be quite a bit of pressure being applied the the kiddies in the final "Success" shot. Love it. Just like my own totally uncooperative family. You all look very happy anyway. Are you ready for the '09?
ReplyDeleteI think they are all great pics! :)
ReplyDeleteI hear that you can create a great family picture with photoshop - by cutting and pasting multiple pictures together! Don't ask me how though - I have elements and I still can't figure it all out! Ha!
ReplyDeleteSasha you are all so beautiful! Great pics!

ReplyDeleteI have the same issues trying to get FGG and the Pug Princess to do pics. I'm still trying to get them to sit still for Christmas pics, LOL!
