Christmas Pictures!

Here is this years pick! Even SueZQ jumped in for a snap! What a treat!

For those who know us...I try to get the "perfect" family picture every year...LOL

Yes its usually something that you may laugh at but let me tell you the story behind our pictures...Andres really tries to smile for the picture but is a bit impatient, Aaliyah is finally learning to smile "really smile" not the made up one. The real challenge comes with our calmest child. For what ever reason when the camera is pointed at NeVaeh she just runs the other way. If we try to get her to smile she will get upset slide out of the picture push the camera away or what ever she can. Its sort of a challenge. I set the camera on a tripod and set the timer.  I'm determined every year to get "that picture" thats going to tell the story of our family. May it tell chaos or what a bunch of crazy nuts...it just might be right LOL. I'm not going to get a prim and proper picture. This year we ended up going in NeVaeh's room and all laying on NeVaeh's bed while she was watching her movie. We have in the past been in a hay pile, tractor, even got one in front of a Christmas tree. This year we had a nice scene in front of some closet doors but NeVaeh didn't want anything doing LOL. Here's some of our pictures we didn't choose....

 Let me show you.

 In frustration Aaliyah gets catapulted out of her chair.

 Mom where are you...I'm trying to hold it together LOL

 Notice Andres is braced in his chair..He had just gotten catapulted out of his chair.....NeVaeh is sooo Happy :(

 Andres "Please!!!! Make this be a good one"

 "Just let me out of here!!"

 Ok she's smiling now where's mom??

 Not smiling anymore!

 Oh! Come on!!!

 "Nope not doing it"

 

 Shut the camera off

 

Really Shut it off!!

 

Ok, Mom if you want a picture get in it!

Well thats when we got the picture LOL :)

I took pictures after their school concert also. Andres and Aaliyah were sports about "following" NeVaeh so we got a good one of the three in their nice red, black and white Christmas outfits.

 LOL!! Merry Christmas!! This is part of our family tradition taking out own family picture. Nothing professional but definitely displays our family :)
