my irritating family





Something that is important to me is to take a family snapshot each year to include in our Christmas cards.
I have them together in a book where I can watch us all age like Dorian Gray. I don't like it when friends send pictures of just their children, I want to see my friends themselves.
In our annual photo shoot, I always tell them they have to look good on all of them, because I am picking the one where I look best. They laugh, start pinching, and so forth. You can put the photos together into a flip book and see me getting more and more irritated, with them looking better and better.
It used to be funny.

Ok, I do have to laugh about this. But I solve it by doing the kid only photo -- nope, not gonna get me in one of those!

Hello Lynn-

This is my first time reading your blog and I really hear ya about wanting to see the whole family in the Christmas card photo! Definitely one of my "pet peeves." I'm also a quilter and am enjoying reading your blog.

Your irritating family is about like mine. I didn't like ANY of the family pictures we took this year. Going to wait and maybe take one later on. ....when we're all in a better mood!

Your family looks marvelous!v
