Controlled chaos

On Saturday we had family pictures taken. As in my kids, my parents, my siblings and their kids. There were 10 adults and 8 children age six and under. To be exact, (1) six year old, (3) three year olds, (3) one year olds and (1) four-month old. Talk about a daunting task! We all knew going in that as long as the kids were looking at the camera, we were doing better than we could hope. Todd took several pictures and I believe he got at least one where all the kids were looking at the camera. Hopefully none of the adults were blinking, or scratching their nose or making funny faces.

Between us five kids, we take turn being in charge of getting our parents their Christmas gifts. This year was my sisters Carla's turn and she had decided to give our parents a family picture. We had talked about waiting on family pictures, but with the extended family growing like it has, we figured that now was about the best time.
