Today’s quest of trying to get a decent Christmas photo of the boys can be summed up with this:
After giving up on Carter, since he doesn’t understand bribery yet, I even went as low as to tell Evan, “We WILL NOT go play with the trains at the book store UNLESS you GIVE me A NICE SINCERE smile! Yeah, one of my “Mother of the Year Moments”!
Oh and the funny thing is…I didn’t really even notice that horrendously large pillow until I got home and was looking at the photos. So I guess I am semi-happy that none of them turned out too nice

Out takes are the best. Sometimes better than the end result, lol. We used out takes in many of our cards…included w the result.
LOL, I’m glad you got a good one! We have to take photos of our girls separately with their brother for the same reason!
I think the pictures are great.
Those Christmas trees are beautiful.
Stopping from Seven Clown Circus.
I feel ya! One year I totally took the joy out of the Christmas picture taking. I think I was yelling for 30 minutes straight! LOL
I’m not even going to attempt Christmas photos with my five. I value my sanity too much. LOL

Hilarious! Although I may have been far less patient in the same situation…so kudos to you! Also, that’s quite the bevy of lovely Christmas trees. Happy WW!
OH-MY-GOODNESS!!!!! That was the funniest thing I have seen in a very long time. I felt as though I was right there with you, lucky for you I wasn’t, because I would have been laughing right along with them!!! #1 and #4 are the best!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my lil E-man!!! I guess because he’s so rotten!
Boys will be boys! I LOVE those pictures! I’d definitely scrap book these pictures! Beautiful Christmas trees!!
LOL!! Looks like they had a great time though.
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!!!
My kids are 20 and 16, and I can guarantee they still won’t sit still and give me a decent smile for a family portrait.
Your ‘negotiations’ seemed to have worked in the last shot. Wonderful smile.
Too CUTE!!!
My 3 1/2 year old daughter just finally started to pose and smile for pictures. Up to this year I have told the photographers that I just want A PHOTO, as I am sure they will not get a good one

That post title is the BEST! and so are those boys!
Great title! I haven’t braved the family photos yet. Guess no one will know what we look like this year.
I think the
pics, are great!!!
Oh I love it! Bribery is alive and well in our household too…
I still have to muster up the courage to get Princess Nagger’s Christmas pictures…guess I better get busy because it’s going to be a long process to get a smile instead of goofy faces!
Happy WW!
I love the background, and your kids are cute too
