Easter family pictures

Christmas and Easter are the holidays that I like to dress the kids up and take family pictures. Of course they don't usually turn out so well...but they almost always give us something to laugh about! :)

My sister in law Tara took these. Thanks Tara!

The first one was blurry but at least everyone was looking. Ha!

Anna decided that she didn't want her picture taken. Claire started crying and James wanted to run. Oh and there's my nephew sneeking into the picture. Hi Evan!

Trying to get James to settle down.

Oh, I better talk to Anna too to see if I can get her to look at the camera. Bill decides to try and "help" James smile.

Anna's still not digging this...I'm pretty sure Claire isn't either. Looks like Bill's having fun though!

So much for that idea! I see the dog decided to join in the fun.

Family pictures...you gotta love them! :) We'll try again next year!

    love the pictures. You don't know me but I've been following your blog for a little while. I can really see God's work through you and your blog and it's comforting. Just thought I'd stop and say hello. Have a good day!

    So funny! And so real! I love that you went ahead and posted them, even though they're not the perfect family photo.

    These are all great shots! I love the cameo shots more than posed :) They tell a much greater story.

    Ha! These family photos look like our family photos! It's hard to get one where everyone is still and looking at the camera, isn't it? ;)

    P.S. I like your purple shirt. Did you "layer" it over a black tee or is it a "one-piece" shirt?
