...so reminiscent of what we go through every year with our brood! (This year I caved and paid someone else to make them look they were full of the spirit of Christmas!)
I just did a post yesterday on the challenges of getting a family portrait for our Christmas cards. Our "oops" photos are pretty funny too! I never would think of posting them though. It must be the perfectionist in me. Kudos to you for posting them : ) Love the hats!
I love this!!! This made me laugh out loud. It only takes one reluctant photographic subject to make things challenging. How about you send out a fold out card with all images including your captions... what a keepsake that would be! Hee hee! :)
BGP ~ I still laugh out loud when I look at them! And making up the captions was very fun. Your fold out card is a good idea...sometimes you just have to go with the flow. ha!
Aren't family photo sessions somewhat of a trial? Especially with kids:)
We did ours in early Nov. this year and thought they were great until my mom (we did immediate and extended family ones) decided she didn't like the way her hair looked and made us re-do them. The 2nd time was a nightmare...and then she ended up going with a shot from the 1st session anyway. Arrrgghh... :)
Oh my goodness, Betsy! That is so funny! Is that an arm on the left trying to hold someone in place? Your oldest looks so accommodating through the whole thing too.
You need to put this on here: www.OneTrueMedia.com and make a funky Christmas slide show out of it!
The captions AND the facial expressions together "crack me up"!
If you feel like a respite right about now, of some "feminine frippery and fluff", then click that mouse and pop on by to my little blog for some "visual eye candy", "tea, cookies and chocolate my dear!.., Come on by for, Tuesday Tea For Two, and share a cup of tea with me and your fellow bloggers..,
Betsy, I think these portraits, along with the captions, are better than one serious picture. You captured so much more than just their likenesses. Too funny! Taylor is a good sport.
heee hee ha ha...I busted out laughing at the "I dont know..she's still the boss". hahaha :) LOVED your family photos of the boys! What incredible patience you have as a mother. You have to the best one out there that I know of. Seriously. Hugs!
Yep I'm with the fold-out card with all the images too Betsy! They are just me, your boys - they show all in their faces, which is why I NEVER play poker! Millie ^_^

Love their matching hats!
ReplyDeleteBless you Betsy, your captions are so funny.
I must be the mom of boys. Their hats didn't even stand out as unusual to me. But now that I see them, they are pretty cute.
ReplyDeletehahaha...yep, boys!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Bets, this is SO funny!

Oh, this is so funny with the captions..They really fit the facial expressions here to a "T"..LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI posted on Christmas cards this morning, too...though a bit of a different take...
Hope your week is a great one!
Kat ~ that's Alex's arm! He's just stiff as a board....so funny!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link...I'll look it up!
Once again ~~~ way too funny! You missed your calling.
ReplyDeleteMy last attempt was hilarious too. I did a post on it a few months ago. Finally I gave up and sent individual photos of the kids to the grandparents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great group of guys you have! Love the hats : )
ReplyDeleteYes, she's still the boss. And what a delightful boss she must be. You're lucky to have them, they are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteOh goodness me, i SOOOOO love these. They are adorable and funny too. Tour captions just make it--the icing on top.
ReplyDeleteSo, it looks like you didn;t get one that fit everyone. Well, the top one comes closest.
hahaha!! I heart the captions and those hats! You have yourself four trendy, good looking boys. :)
ReplyDeleteAlan ~ oh, you are SO sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteHEY! Gimme my hat back!~LOL! Best darn hat I ever had( and still do )They do not look amused, wot?
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious!~ What a hoot!..,

ReplyDeleteYup, I think you're done. These pictures are great, as is!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never attempted to take my own family photo. That's what Sears is for!
ReplyDeleteAw, Lizzie ~ thanks...that made my day! :) They are incredibly funny, aren't they? How can you NOT laugh?
ReplyDeleteI don't know which I like best! They're all priceless!! :D
ReplyDeleteHi! Betsy,
ReplyDeleteToo funny...Thanks, for sharing the photograph of your four men.

The pictures are so cute. I love their warm hats. Your little notes on them are so funny. Too cute.
ReplyDeletehe hats ...the commentary...priceless
ReplyDeleteand YES you are the boss!!
My first thought was about all the matching Elmer Fudd hats. Did you ever get one you could use? Or did you just have to try again another time?
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! That is so funny! I think you should do them all in a flip down card with all your captions. ha ha Hilarious Besty!
ReplyDeleteSigh, I've got to rest my stomach now from all the laughing!
This is so funny! Taylor, is that your oldest (?), looks so patient and good-humored through it all.
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I love the hats. I hope you managed to get a shot that works.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, this still just cracks me up. thanks for the laughs again as I begin this day. LOL. the best captions.
