Family Pictures

Well, after all the hassle, we finally did manage to do INDOOR family pictures (as a surprise for my mom's 65th birthday). However, because there were some very cranky members of the family (not mentioning any names, of course), it was quite an abbreviated photo shoot. As a result, there were only a handful of pictures per family to choose from. With poor lighting (done inside our museum on the recommendation of a professional photographer) and cranky family members, Rachel and her "side kick" Jenn, managed to do a pretty good job. My wonderfully talented OLDEST sister Laura will be scrapbooking a gigantic shadow box of a kazillion pictures with the help of some of her not-quite-so-talented sisters. This will thrill my mom.

I absolutely love, LOVE, LOVE this picture. This is why people think Hannah looks like her daddy. Can't imagine why.

And here is the happy clan. You can probably tell who was the most impressed by looking closely at this picture.

Anyway. IT'S ALL DONE. For another 25 years.

Okay. I'll concede and say TEN years, when mom is 75.

By the way, I wasn't the crank, but I could have gotten cranky quite easily.

Love ya.

What suprised me the most was that the Peterson Family was all done getting their pictures taken....all the way at the end of the museum....before the rest of the family even walked through the museum doors! Now that is shocking!!!!!!

See, sarcasm is a "gift" in our family. We are special.

And then I go and marry the most sarcastic of us all......go figure.

Well dear Aunties: Jenn & I did a masterful job of crown, attitude, and organizational control that day. I applaud our ability to keep our head in the most stressful of situations. :P
