It’s that time of year again…

I’ve been talking with friends who are trying to get that perfect holiday-card family photo. And that reminded me of the time we decided to take our own family photo for the Christmas card, complete with an (oh-so-sophisticated) white-sheet backdrop. Let’s just say that between the sheet continually falling down, the dog wandering off and the flash on the camera working sporadically, it was a loong afternoon — but funny, now that I look back on it.

Exhibit A (Dad still fiddling with the camera)

Exhibit B (Losing it while Mom fixes the sheet for the 14th time)

Exhibit C (“Do I STILL have to hold Charlie, Mom?”)

And finally – The Winning Shot!

Yep, the sheet was still wrinkled, but what the heck. I still smile when I see that picture.
