If at first you don't succeed.... oh heck, just give up! :)

It's that time of year again... family pictures for the Christmas card. I managed to get through the day without any tears thinking of all that is changing in my life! Everything is changing now. Garrett is getting married in January. Tanner leaves for boot camp next month... and sadly we won't be announcing #16 on the cards like we thought we would this year. But I was determined to enjoy this day. We had a great time, got a thumbs up from an elderly couple taking a joy ride in the canyon and enjoyed each others' company... though I have to say that we can depend on at least one child having an attitude any time we get our pictures taken. This was no exception... Thayne had to bribe Kami with his debit card, and then Jace bribed her with his cell phone, and Kassi was mad because somebody was being a 'jerk' to her though we could never determine exactly who was being the jerk... but it was a BLAST today.

Behind the scenes it ain't fun and games!!! The children are quite obnoxious! ha ha
