Our Own Version of Awkward Family Photos . . .
We could publish our own version of Awkward Family Photos. In fact, that's just what one of my projects will be for 2011.
Here is my first installment of a few photos that might just make the cut. Ok, so some of them might not be too awkward . . . or too funny. It's the case of, "You-just-had-to-be-there-kind-of-funny."
This a way of documenting a few moments of a family having fun at Christmas. Amazing that it only took a few hours to gather these . . .
Our book will have an entire chapter titled, "Tongue-in-Cheek," devoted to these kind of shots.
The Good Times Van was the scene of much fun and frolic as we all drove through the town looking at Christmas lights.
Well, some of us looked at Christmas lights.
Others talked on the phone.
The Little Plaid Princess. . . one minute . . .
. . . and then literally, the next minute.
Remember what I told you ?
If not, see photo #1.
Stop acting like sisters.
Oh wait.
You ARE sisters.
Trying to pose a five-year-old and an almost-one-year-old is next to impossible.
And then there's the chore of trying to pose the two aforementioned with their mommy and daddy, who has that 'deer in the headlights' look on his face.
The Good Times Van also doubled as the perfect place for a slumber party to watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas. "
Amazing that the youngest is the one who still awake.
The van was also driven through Mickey D's for breakfast.
And yes, they were buckled in when we did that.
"Meals-on-Wheels"
You need a closer look . . .
. . . at that chubby little face.
It was one of those teachable moments when we learned how to draw stars.
She drew them.
He erased them.
Do you think he's a little tired of the flash of my camera ?
I think he is.
I know he is.
Cousin Eddie stopped by for some egg nog in a moose cup.
And yes, he does have on . . .
. . . a dickey.
There are so many uses for a Hoberman Sphere.
Amazing that it fits so nicely on a blockhead.
Bruce Willis never cooperates for the family photos.
A new App for his IPhone:
"Cover your face so your mother-in-law can't take your photo"
This scene was the topic of several comments.
Words like: Santa, blow, up . . . were used.
You can create your own.
If you don't have one of these books yet, run don't walk to Amazon and buy it.
I promise you will find several photos that are very similar to some you have in your own family photo album.
Just had to end with this sugary-sweet-precious little elf.
