How Many Clicks Does It Take?

It took about a half hour. Thank heavens for digital cameras!! I can take a thousand pictures and instantly know if it turned out or didn't. How did our parents ever get a decent picture???

I figured it was best to get the sillies out right away!

I would like to point out right here and now that Jason and Tad actually argued over who got to lay across the front of the picture! My boys who absolutely HATE to have any photographic evidence of their existence. Jockeying for prime up-front-and-in-your-face position.
I tell you, it made my heart well up just a bit!

Skye got a little too serious! Look at that attitude!
I think she and Tad have a little Zoolander going on.

And the sillies are baaaack!!
I used the candlelight setting and it's not very forgiving.

Lots of blurries.
You have to hold REALLY still for candlelight setting to capture.

But when it does, you get a really great picture!

I will also note that I was so desperate to get a family Christmas picture, I told the kids to just wear "WHATEVER!! JUST GET IN FRONT OF THE DAMN TREE!!"

They took me seriously.
Jason is wearing a Halloween shirt with a cartoon ghost on it that says "be afraid. be very afraid."
Tad shirt has "I got out of bed for this?" as his Christmas sentiment.
And Sean is wearing his Lu Sutton school shirt. At least it's green!

We call this one Mom's Big Butt!

Setting the timer, running and then posing super still is harder than you think!

But I am a MASTER!
I am stealthy like ninja!!

I love this one.
Sean adores Skye.

Look at those faces!!
It's that level of cuteness that has kept them alive so long!!

Happy Holidays!!
