Christmas Pictures with Cousins

So this is what happens when you get 9 kids under age 7 to take Christmas Pictures.. Not a single good one- of all of them together...

Check out Noah. Oh he is such an angel! Yeah right.. but he does look cute in this picture..

Rowan was not having a good time with the whole picture taking.. I had just taken her bottle away and of course she had to collapse on the floor- and Noah, being Noah, was trying to fix it..

This one was decent- if you don't mind NOSE PICKING.. or the fact that two of my kids are missing...

This one was taken before we were actually trying to take all of their pictures.. Notice the cute Holly in Ellie's hair- or the pointsettia's in the big girls hair, anyone who wants me to make them some, let me know. I think that it is darling in "carebear ears" as we call them..

And this is Elliot at the end of the picture taking... Let's just say it didn't go well...

We seriously took like 40 pictures on our camera, and not one of them is good. The few that are decent me or my sister ruined by actually being IN the picture- sitting a child back down and not moving in time. Believe me, a side view of my belly right now is NOT what you want to see in a Christmas Picture. But we tried. I wish that we could send out a whole sequence of pictures because that would be more telling and a lot funnier.. And this was taken within an hour of all of them being together at my parents house. Imagine what it was like a few hours later... Or the next day... Yeah, we can only have all of them together for a limited time. The kids have a great time- it is all the parents and grandparents who have absolutely had it within hours..
