Our Professional Christmas Pics

We had pictures done at Walmart over the Holidays and as you probably guessed it was pretty darn difficult to get a picture with everyone looking at the camera and having smiles on their faces. Pretty much from the moment the photographer started snapping pictures Nathan and Reagan refused to stay put. We tried holding them on our laps, letting them stand, giving them treats and even letting them hold props but nothing was working. Finally someone came up with a plan that worked. We let Reagan throw an absolutely enormous shiny Christmas Ball (that I can only assume was a prop) back and forth to the photographer and that got both Nathan and Reagan to crack a smile. However the throwing of the Christmas Ball resulted in all the adults saying, "One, Two, Three...YEAH!" just before each photo was snapped. And that my friends is why the adults all have our mouths wide open in the pictures. But hey, at least the kids look cute.
