Smile? Maybe?

Every year, I try to take a family portrait. It starts off with the thought that it's for our Christmas cards, but I mainly want one just to preserve some memories. The Crack Monkeys are growing up so fast and if it wasn't for the picture sessions I torture them with year after year, I'd forget their baby-faced early years.

So this year's session went by relatively fast, since the sun was going down. And, after they got all of their silliness out. This is what happens when I ask them to stand still while I adjust my camera.

Bunch of goofballs, all of them! But, they're my goofballs, so it's all good in the end. Here's how this year's picture turned out:

Not too bad, right? ;-)
