Have you ever come across
that website that publishes awkward family pictures? Yes, some of them are hilarious,
but I do have to wonder if some of them are doctored; some can't possibly be legitimate! I laugh at these pictures
because I have a collection of my own family photo bombs. Some of them are
posted in this blog for your viewing pleasure. (Disclaimer: You might want to empty
your bladder first.)
I was looking through some
old photos the other day and came across a series of pictures of my brother and
me during Christmas “a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.” My mom
thought it would be a good idea to get a shot of us looking through the Wish
Book that she could use for our family Christmas card. Obviously, as you can
see, there were no appropriate pictures. We couldn’t stop fooling around.
Normal kids.
Those pictures reminded me
of family pictures since then. I am so not photogenic! There are no good
pictures of me. So when we have to take a family picture, I dread it for weeks
beforehand. Either someone ends up not looking in the same direction as
everyone else (my husband), or someone is making a goofy face (my son), or
someone just looks bad all the way around (me).
(Ooops! Off-Center)
(Can I look a little grumpier?)
(Umm...no.)
(I'm too tense, The Boy's too goofy, but that's typical.)
I won't even talk about the time my sisters and I had the brilliant idea of getting a picture of us done for my Dad for Father's Day. Yup. That went well, too. Those pictures have been deleted FOREVER!
So a few weeks ago my husband
had the big idea to do another family Christmas photo. Yes, I realize our kids
are getting older and soon they will be off on their own and won’t necessarily
be available to have a picture done altogether. I still am not looking forward
to it. I guess we’ll see what happens this year.
For those of you who
receive Christmas cards from us, there may or may not be a family photo
included. If there is not, you will know how the photo session turned out.
