picture perfect


Annnnnd Christmas is underway.

I took attempted to take the family photo for the cards this weekend. Tell me. What is it about photo taking that makes children turn into raucous fiends?  My children behave better when getting their inoculations. No kidding.

So of about 30 pictures that I fired off in rapid succession before the whole crew mutinied on me, I got one. One messily photo. And the Bird isn't even looking at the camera. She's taunting her brother.  And Frankie looks all disproportionate and weird with a pumpkin coming out of his neck and fruit snacks in his hand.  And the Boy, well... just look.


But I was over perfect a loooong time ago. And just like last year, I'm sending out this photo in hopes that people will see us for who we really are and love us anyway.

    that "tree" is GORGEOUS, as are your kids. I can't believe how big the babies are! Has it been a long time since you posted photos of them? It must have been because they look all grown up. So handsome, and Birdie's HAIR. fantastic.

    I think it's adorable -- your children are absolutely gorgeous, even the one with the pumpkin growing out of his neck. :)

    Funny enough, I looked at that photo, and thought it's about time people start sending pictures of real life. Not some glossed over, perfectly posed image. I for one love it.
    PS: your daughters hair is to die for!
