Photo Shoot

I wanted a picture of our three darlings for a Christmas card.

We're not one of those families who:

1) can smile at a camera in unison
2) is very cooperative about family photos

I decided to try anyway.

I determined the apple green wall in Emma's room would be a good backdrop.  (green = Christmas, am I right?)  I gathered the troops and promised them a treat if they were cooperative.  I was thinking The Spotted Cow for ice cream or Starbucks for peppermint hot chocolate.

We got all artsy and added a picture frame:

It didn't help.

We finally got a tolerable picture.

But they didn't get a treat.
