Holiday Recap Week--The Photo Shoot

We grabbed the last rays of light one Sunday afternoon, attempting a family photo shoot.

I had to remind myself that out of 537 pictures, we only needed one good one.  We got a few.  Here's the whole crew:

It is a little blurry, but at least we're all looking at the camera halfway pleasantly.  And at least it's better than it was rendered by the card company--which is so bad that I almost didn't sent cards this year, but they are on their way, better late than never, right?

This is how we really are, as if you had to guess (can you find Eve?):

Bonus.  I got one good one of each of the monkeys.  Yay.

We were lucky to get one of her at all.

The Brubakers were especially photogenic that night.

Love this spunky girl

We fought over that baby all week.  Lily lucked out this time.

Heidi insisted she take some of me and Brad.

The one above was decent, but most of them were some version of this one below.

I know. I'm a lucky woman.

 Micah hung in that tree over five minutes, and Hyrum had ditched his vest and ruined his shirt by this time.

 We had a strength contest on the stop sign.  Lily and Ben were both quite impressive. 

There is no photographic evidence of Dad's participation in the contest.  Needless to say, it wasn't that impressive.

And Brad even managed a half-decent shot of the least photogenic member of our family.

I just wish Tucker had been here.  Sigh.  Guess what?  We are counting under 130 days now!
