How do some do it?

Scott and I worked diligently at getting the kids pictures done for Christmas cards. Why is it when we get out a camera my boys turn into Frankenstein and Addy does all she can to have the worst look on her face, or the cutest smile facing away from the camera??? After many attempts we decided that the pic now at the top of my blog was the best of all four. I think we're gonna have to go to the Reed's house next year. Their family pic has 11 children and two parents that look perfect! Christine how did you do it?????

This one, well we were trying a little too hard huh?

Avery looks scared in this one!

This one Avery is eyeless.

And last but not least, the pic of at least one child picking his nose!
