Annual Photo Shoot

Today we went to Bountiful for our annual photo shoot.  Last year Kristen helped me take photos of the kids and did such a great job that we decided to give it a go again this year.  Thanks a billion Kristen!  It is frustrating getting a good family photo, so as long as everyone's faces are pointed in the direction of the camera, we consider it a good photo!

Mabel  (5 1/2 years old)

Sam (4 years old)

Max (3 years old)

Alex (10 months)



The kids practiced their funny faces for a picture all during lunch today, so of course we had to take a silly photo.

And we got a lot of "unintentionally silly" (aka "it's hot and I'm done") photos.

Be careful not to get into any one else's "space" or tears ensue.

And it's hard to get the lighting just right.

We bribed the kids with gummy worms, but they seemed to become more of a distraction at times.

And when the candy wasn't getting in the way, kids know how to find other distractions.

Well, until next time, we'll keep practicing our smiles.
