Family Photo Night

Once a year the whole family heads on over to the JC Penney portrait studio for photos. It's one of those love-hate things about having a large family: you love having the photos to remember how everyone looks, but you hate loading everyone up and posing for photos. It's really kind of a nightmare. First you have to wait your turn for photos and hope no one messes up their hair or gets their outfit dirty. Then you hope everyone keeps their eyes open for the photos. Sometimes you wish that everyone could smile and look at the camera, but then you realize that's a fantasy. Next you hope that your husband doesn't flip out on four bored youngsters, and you really hope that if he does no one calls the cops. Finally, when all is said and done, you just pray that there's one good photo for the wall. Just one.

Last night's photo session went really well, and we got at least two really good photos. Two good photos?? I'd call that a victory!!
