When Connor was first born I loved taking pictures of him. Posing him in the perfect spot to get the perfect picture. Then as he became mobile it started getting hard. As he turned 2... it became near impossible! I'll give you a little peek at what picture taking looks like at our house.
This photo almost doesn't need a caption. If the hand doesn't say enough, you can read his lips and check out those eyes and realize he is NOT in the picture taking mood. :)
The combination of Connor always being on the go and having such a big personality make it almost impossible to even convince him to sit still. Here is what usually happens...
We start out with some sort of incentive (aka-bribe). Today it was apple juice straight from the box.
My goal was to get Connor to hold Carson by the tree. Very unrealistic, but I had high hopes! Cole was on stand by with the camera and I had Carson ready to place in Connor's lap.
Connor was not interested at all! He is not really into to holding babies and quickly let me know. So the 3 of us it is! (Notice Connor gently pushing Carson's foot away.) :)
At least I have a few more months to pose this one any way I want!
All this to say when you get our Christmas card you will realize what an accomplishment it was to get all 4 of us in the picture. Please tell me I am not the only one who has this much trouble! :) For now I am just thankful to have these 2 sweet boys even if I don't have that "perfect" picture.

DEFINITELY not the only one!
Carson is getting so big. I can't believe it's been so long since I've seen him.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! :)
Carson is growing up so fast. We are all looking forward to Hannah being here really soon!
We're definitely into "if you take the picture, then you can have...." and that's just for Ryley and Reagan! :)
Seriously, the iPad over the photographer's head is about the only way to get Lily to look at the camera.
And thank goodness for photoshop and head swapping!
