Christmas Shoot 2008

I kinda fixed my manly point-and-shoot camera (I broke it last September). Manly because it matches my manly mini-van. Kinda fixed meaning the lens cover/shutter still doesn’t close all the way, but does open all the way when I press the shutter button now. The camera reminds me of my kids. Their mouths open easily, but it’s almost impossible to close them.

    Those are really good pictures! I love the cheesey grins on that goofy face picture.
    I think I am going to use our beach picture this year. Next year I may even remember to bring our Santa hats to the beach with us.

  3. Glad you got your camera working. I had that same problem with my lens cover, as well.

    The kids look great. We haven’t taken our photo yet. Sigh.

    What beautiful children you have! Thanks for sharing and yes doesn’t it always take 50 pictures to get maybe one where they are all smiling and looking the same direction! :)

    love the bloopers. In our family it was my brother that made every shot a blooper, even his serious face looked like he was up to no good.

  13. I have a hard enough time trying to get a posed picture with just one kid. I can’t imagine what it would be like with!

    So how in the name of a sweet xmas pic do you get your three to look so fab and stay still and smile great smiles ….

    is there a secret word, threat or bribe I need use … I only have two and cannot manage this feat …

    nice one daddy …. le

  23. what an adorable family you have. always such a breath of fresh air to come here and see how everyone has mutual respect for each other. what amazing people your children are, what amazing adults they are turning into.

  26. Leslie says:

    Even your outtakes are good! Our outtakes are kind of scary. One even involves a finger in the nose. One kid’s finger, other kid’s nose. Awesome.
