Boy do I have a patient best friend. I begged her (actually all I had to do was ask) to take our family pictures. She is super talented and super cheap (free) it pays to know talented people. But I gotta tell you, my kids...at least a few of them, were kind of a pain in the neck about the whole process. I mean, my friend did every trick she could possibly think of to get the giggles and silly faces out, but my kids were not budging. In the end though, we got one photo that I love. One is enough for me. :)
