As often happens, the need to get a group photo hit our clan a few weeks back. My sister, my cousin and I wanted to get a group photo for the family that included all the "girls". This great idea involved a lot of planning of colors, dates, etc. I should have saved a few of the email exchanges as there was a lot of humor there.
Suffice to say that Natasha did a lot of the leg work in figuring out what everyone should wear, how their hair should be styled and what was an appropriate amount of makeup etc. We all arrived to the studio on time (actually early) and looking lovely. Of course there was no one there to actually take our photo and we got to wait for a good 45 minutes to even get the process started. This isn't such a bad thing but when you have two squirmy youngsters this can be problematic.
Luckily Tash and Jordyn entertained the girls with a variety of creative pasttimes including putting them in the fake christmas box (which turns out to be one of the cutest photos we took that day but alas I get ahead of myself.
After a very long wait for photos to be taken with a (now) couple of cranky children and a few frazzled adults we all attempted to do our best to not look stupid in the few photos that Jacqueline was actually looking at the camera.Before picking out the photos we went and got some food to attempt to help keep us from going over the edge. On the way out Jacqueline wanted to try her hand at the "cars" in the automotive section. She was a bit confused why they didn't "work" though.
Hopefully the photos themselves are actually ones we like when we get them back this week. All I know is that after the 4 hours at the mall we were all happy to get home.
