While the little, old house can only fit about the same amount of people as a hotel elevator can hold, we still enjoy getting together and making our own family traditions - even if the tradition is one that only Kathy and I enjoy, (hey, it's still a tradition). We pull out our cameras, loaded with fresh batteries and lots of memory cards, and recruit some victims . . . I mean our children, to record the Christmas festivities.
Now, while Kathy's earlier blog about "photo time" (SEE HERE) read like a Mister Roger's Neighborhood episode, (which did make for good reading, by-the-way, but it really didn't go that perfectly.) Now, I will say, she didn't follow us outside so she missed hearing all of the whining from the boys, "No, not picture time again, blah, blah, blah."
Here's how the photo shoot really went:
This is where I said to the boys, "now, just start walking." They thought it would be funny to start walking in different directions, instead of walking towards the camera! As you can see by the smirk on Jay's face, and Ryan and Justin laughing in the background, that messing with Mom, the photographer, was way too much fun!
O.K., now we have Ryan saying, "Hey, aren't we old enough that we don't have to listen to her anymore?"
Hey, Ryan. You weren't listening to me anyway! But the shoot was much better that way. So thanks, guys, for goofing around with me and doing your own thing. I was able to capture your personalities, which made for great pictures. And besides, wasn't the Mister Roger's show boring, anyway?
