Getting a family photo

Getting a family photo for us is not an easy task. Let's just say we do not have the easiest kids to work with. It took us over a year to get a "decent" one for MTW, and that was a Very painful process. We decided this year that since we live on the other side of the world that we really needed to send out a family photo- we normally do not due to the overwhelming stress it puts on me trying to get 2 kids to co-operate during the holiday season. So, we finally have one we are ready to send out, but thought you might enjoy some of the pictures in the process.

The unveiling of the photo will arrive in your mailbox shortly, to give you a little anticipation- lets just say Titus is not that happy, and the look on his face very much says "get it done with, let me down, I am so done sitting here, now give me my chocolates!" (we had to bribe with chocolates- the more they cooperated, the more chocolates they received-neither child got many).

Titus thinking he's getting chocolates!

Fooling around

Getting a little too carried away...

Is anybody happy here?

Getting impatient with the parents

Having fun messing with mom & Dad

We finally decided we might be able to control them better from this side of the camera!
Kevin didn't even make it in this one
