When Brayden was 3 months old we thought it would be a good idea to get our first family picture. All was well and good with one content baby boy. NOW, four years later with three kids, it's not quite the same. We still get our X-mas family picture, but it proves to be a bit more challenging. In a nutshell we had to make the attempt more than once. On the way there today Brayden asked, "If I do a good job and my sisters don't, do we have to go again?!" I sure as hell hope not, I was thinking, I didn't actually say that because I want him to think it is SO FUN to have pics. taken for an hour and a half with screaming kids!
After this morning we decided if two out of the three kids look ok, we'll buy it! We got one family picture, but none of the kids together. Brayden made goofy faces and the girls were on the run the entire time! (Sarah, I tried every bribery trick I know, it just wasn't happening. Maybe you can put your running shoes on and take some at some point). :) I snapped a few of the girls when we got home becuase I wanted a full body shot, it seriously took twenty minutes to get those dang tights on! They weren't real excited about them. (I don't blame them though). Brayden was more than done with pics. so he didn't want ANY more.
As for the hair..... I thought it looked better than it really does apparently. The flash brought out ALOT of red. Over lunch Kent and I were talking about what we were going to do tonight. He suggested, "Why don't we go get another box and try a new color?" Isn't he sweet? So, tomorrow I may be bald. I guess it's a good thing we're done with pics. red hair or not.
These are a couple of my favorites from the week.... Ellie is quite the fasion guru, here she and Dani are wearing Brayden's coats. Throughout the week she insisted on wearing his sunhat, and a winter hat and a bathrobe (Which she HAD to wear to Fred Meyer) and ONE sandal that is three sizes too big. I tell you, this girl has a definite opinion about EVERYTHING! (Just like her dad). Dani seems to be a little more laid back and go with the flow (like me?).
