Well, we tried!

When we went to Yellowstone we stopped in Utah really quick on the way home to see my family and the 9/10 of Max's cousins who live there. I really wanted to get some sort of shot with all the cousins. 2 year old Eliza was asleep, so it ended up being just 8/10. I knew I wasn't going to get a perfect photo so after I pleaded with all the kids and parents to help me out a little I just started snapping once they all kind of grouped together . . .

Photo A: "hmm, where should we have this photo, maybe here on the love seat because some of us are already over here . . ."
Photo B: "ok, we're all here, oh wait, we need Alex! Camera's over here guys, oh and maybe get Jared out of the picture, who wants to hold Max?"
Photo C: "hmm the sun is a little bright, let's close these blinds" Baby Scarlett on the bottom right has about had it, Max has a great big smile, probably looking at his daddy being silly.Photo D: "I was born to hold babies!" said 9 year old cousin Warren, oldest of 4. Alex is a trooper and gets in the photo, mom Shera is doing what she can.
Photo E: "OK, blinds closed, everyone look at Auntie Em, 1, 2, 3 . . .wait, why are we not looking at Auntie Em?! Thanks Nathaniel, I appreciate those two thumbs up."
Photo F: Final attempt, well if this were just a pic of the four boys in front it would be great!
and we're done!

Thanks for being good sports kids and parents. Love love love it.

HAHAHA!! That's really funny. It's always amusing to watch the insanity that a group photo attempt brings. :-)

Ha ha...typical! Wait til you have more than one child and want them to hold still for a little picture. They never work, but it's fun to look back and laugh :)

Hahaha, I love it! So so true. My friend tried to get a picture of all of the kids at her 2-year-old's birthday party, and it was a fiasco. A very funny fiasco. :)
