Chaotic Christmas Card

Again this year, it was our intention to get a good family shot for Paw-Paw and Lady's Christmas card. Just remember when you receive their card we had the best of intentions. It's not easy getting four little ones, two dogs and not to mention six adults to cooperate for pictures. Part of the fun of the card, though, is remembering how fun and crazy the actual portrait taking was. At least for us it is. Recipients of the card are probably wondering what's wrong with us!
Joe and Ali.
Just hanging out.
Short term Florida family.
I like this one, but it's kind of dark.
Laura is instructed to just take pictures no matter what because we aren't capable of all standing still and looking at the camera. And someone pulled out their own camera and started taking pictures of the photographer? 
 This year I think we can place most of the blame on Nate for not coopering for pictures.
 There goes Allison. Not to mention Nate looks like a rodeo cowboy.
 Nate is about to break Mace's back.
Yep, it's a lost cause.
 I'm dangling Kathryn off the pier.
Steve had been drinking red wine all day long and I told him to go brush his teeth before we went out to take pictures, but he didn't. Now you know why even Mace's teeth look cleaner than Steve's.
 
Wrong side of Mace.
Nate is making a mean face because he hates pictures more than anything.
I finally noticed Nate was making a mean face from the beginning and I was caught yelling at him.
Then instead of a mean face, Nate is looking down because he's mad at me. This one ended up being the best one. Now you see all that went into getting this one shot!
