Sometimes, Things Just Work

I was inspired by Rachael over at 'little bites of heaven', she had her triplets sitting in front of their Christmas tree for a photo. Of course it took her a couple of tries and some suckers, but she did get some awesome photos.

So I thought, hey I can do this too. Since I was not able to get photos of all 4 kids when we did our family photo, I really wanted to try this. Why not? After seeing Rachael's post and learning her tricks, I got Jeff on board to help me, we armed ourselves with pieces of chocolate bars, and sat all the kids in front of the Christmas tree.

Here is the fruits of our labor. Not perfect, but what kid photo is. And I couldn't be happier with the results.


And I think this one just might be wall worthy.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you momof4wife2r, I love it.

Great job. Your kids are adorable! Two years ago we tried to take our own photo in front of the tree and it was nearly impossible with the 5 people in our family.

Claire looks so sad! That face makes me want to give her candies and snuggle with her watching Sesame Street ...

I'll have to remember to use chocolate with my two. Perhaps they'll stop making strange faces. Or modeling.
