Try as I might, each Christmas I attempt to get that"perfect shot". That "Norman Rockwell-esqe" family photo under the Christmas Tree - with the children all dressed in their finest. I have found it to be impossible. The 2 olders are used to the torture, but with the never-sitting-still 19 month old and a grumbling hubby who mumbles something about this being 'ridiculous' under his breath behind me, it turns into a nightmare.
let's try him behind you too - maybe he won't escape.
no.
let me get in the picture and hold him in my lap?
no.
maybe if I hold him a little tighter?
no.
cause then he will just slam his head into that big Christmas necklace you are wear, bruising your chest.
well, now I am getting comfy, mom.
not for long bubba.
so, with all that pain & suffering (mainly by me), I did manage to capture a few sweet moments.
Next year, I just need to give it up and realize I'm never gonna capture the perfect shot. These ones a way better!!

Yes they are! They are perfect! I've quit trying for the perfect shots a long time ago. It just wasn't worth all the stress!
These are prefect and beautiful! You look amazing! =)

LOVE the holding tighter one especially :)
ha! i so feel your pain. most days I just give it up. coops does not love the camera.
oo I think some of those turned out super cute! Next year you can bribe them.. ahem.. just saying ;-)
These pictures certainly ARE the perfect ones, Becca! I think that all of your efforts were completely worth it! :)
I completely agree that pictures are sooo hard to get with little ones. Although, most of the ones you do capture are still pretty darn adorable. I think yours are so great! I especially love the one with you holding bubby upside down. Too fun!
Love them all! Even the ones of Bubba trying to escape! :)
Merry Christmas!
You're right those are much better and in my opinion are "perfect" pictures!
Seeing all of these great shots of you and your kids just made me decide that I'm going to schedule a photo shoot with a photographer for me and the kids. Because I am in ZERO of the holiday pictures. It's like I wasn't even here....
WAY better!!! I'll take these over the "Norman Rockwell-esque" shots any day!
Love them!
What a scream. I agree photos with kiddos is such a challenge. Looks like you all had a blast though. Hope you had a great Christmas and may you have a fabulous 2011 my friend!
