Attempts at taking a Christmas family picture

I thought I would share with you what fun my family can be when you say, "Picture time. Come on, just a few pictures...."

Well, the camera is tilted and why are you leaning back Rob and Rie?


That's not working... What about let's pretend you're wrapped in lights and Mommy and Daddy are being naughty? Kaden and Rie act like you're surprised and Christian... Christian? Where are you going?

Act surprised, not THAT surprised! Christian, what drugs did Daddy give you? (that is a joke by the way)


Now it's painful? This is painful? I'm gonna show you painful pretty soon here! (That's a joke, too.)


OK- let's pretend you're being naughty and tying Mommy and Daddy up. Great, now Christian is screaming and we're missing a kid...

Ok- let's try kiddies under the tree. No Christian, not the scream face!

Rie, what are you doing?? Christian put the drink down!
Anyone else frustrated here? I guess at this point it's getting humorous. Let's try our gifts under the tree... well, Christian can you look anymore sleepy/grumpy?
Not bad, not bad.... but it's not the one we chose. We opted for a whole family pic, no guarantees on how great it is:)

Hilarious!!! I am glad we are not the only one's who struggle with this! At least you were not crazy enough to try and get the dog too, like us! :)
