Family Picture Day

Each time we've had family pictures taken we end up with a holiday-type photo. This is usually because I want to send out Christmas cards and also has something to do with having 2 children with birthdays in November. Last year I was going to get our family picture taken when I had the kid's pics taken, but decided to wait until spring and get a family picture that didn't involve a Christmas Tree. So, today was the big day. Have I mentioned recently that Ethan is in a VERY anti-camera stage? We had to both bribe and threaten him to get him to cooperate - it was a long morning. We did end up with a few good pictures - they aren't the best we've had taken, but until Ethan is in a more photogenic mood they'll have to do!
