Happy Holidays - play by play

Every year I wait until the last minute to get Christmas pictures for our Christmas cards. Every year, I'm running late and running out of patience. Every year our photo shoot is chaos.

Every year, I'm more then disappointed in the turn out.

I think next year, I'll try to plan ahead a little more... but just a little.

Here's the play by play of our photo shoot

Happy as can be, especially Kennedy. Good smile from Lincoln .. caught Reagan mid smile.

Remember, crappy camera being used. Good camera in Idaho. Kennedy is now annoyed that I'm making her kiss her brother ... again.

Reagan, willing. Lincoln enjoying himself.
Kennedy, again excited ... very excited. Reagan, confused and a little awkward, but still willing. Lincoln, just fine ... relaxing even, enjoying himself again.

Here's where I lost their focus. AND HE'S OFF!

Look at his face, cute little smirk ... terd. He was booking it!

Now the crying starts. I made them take a few more.

Kennedy, just fine. Great smile ... not even cheesy. Reagan, GREAT, smiling and looking right at me. Lincoln, well, we lost his attention. Head in hands, sobbing.

I almost used this picture for our cards. Would that have been mean to Lincoln? If I wanted to send an honest Fowler family card, it would have been this. But I like to live in a dream world, and pretend that I have little angels who listen to my every command and do whatever I ask. YEAH RIGHT!!!
