The Elusive Family Photo

When I went to put together our Christmas card last year I realized we did not have ONE single good photo of the four of us. It is so hard to get a good family photo for several reasons: there is generally no fifth person around to take it, or someone is unhappy, or someone is missing or someone just looks bad!

So a few weeks ago, we all had our green on for St. Patricks day. I actually had make-up on and we actually had a fifth person in the house to take a picture. Perfect, I thought. Let's get a family picture. It'll be so cute with all our green on! So Susan agreed to snap the shot, but Sydney was not interested in having her picture taken and Pierce was just, well, I'm not sure, maybe confused, maybe annoyed, maybe bored?


This is hilarious, because it is our typical bi-annual attempt at a family photo: terrible! Ha!


Choice 1: Sydney is annoyed, Brett is dazed and Pierce is elsewhere.





Choice 2: Sydney is smirking with pride at her defiance and Pierce is concerned (about the Leprechauns?). Maybe we could just crop the kids out!




It'll probably be another collage Christmas card this year!

Choice 2 is awesome of you & Brett! And you have to admit... Pierce's expression is priceless! Maybe you'll get a good one in Austin in your graduation gown!
