I can get a good pic of my kids together. I too pictures the other day to try to make a Christmas card. I dressed them in their Christmas outfits, set up a backdrop, and called them in. Well, it was all down hill from there. I then moved them in front of the tree, still nothing if not worse. I ended up getting frustrated and giving up. A while later while Wy was in nothing but a diaper, I put his tie on him loosely and got two pics, one of which was the best for the day. Out of 22 pics I got 3 that were OK. So, I used them to make this card. They could be worse I guess.
