Christmas Sunday picture.
Benton and Aubrey were fighting because both wanted to be on that part of the slope of the rock.
Aubrey and Chloe' were arguing over who got to hold Preston.
I was standing in the street trying to flag down a drive-by to take the picture.
Benton and Max were fussing over who got to stand on the tallest part of the rock.
Benton won.
Max cries.
Britton starts in with the, "This is ridiculous!" routine.
I grab a teenage neighbor to take the picture.
He chops off the bottom part of the picture.
Merry Christmas.

This is classic. Great post. So you didn't get the perfect picture, but you did get the best post award. Thank goodness for the blogosphere so we can at least make use of those "things gone terribly wrong" experiences and make our friends laugh. And looks like you guys need to ask Santa for a tripod and camera remote!

I love the backstory on the picture. No one but Paris Hilton likes to pose for pictures...especially husbands. ;) You all look beautiful by the way.

It's impossible for your family to take a bad picture no matter how hard you try!! Hilarious post!
Merry Christmas.

Hilarious. You captured the experience perfectly! And I can totally relate with the husband comments when we try to get pictures.

Loved the Christmas card picture...that one turned out great!

Love hearing the story. All too familiar!!!
I never would have guessed the story after looking at the beautiful picture.

Hilarious. Have been there many, many, many times! I especially laughed at Britton's comment. Sounds exactly like Jason.
The experience will get funnier and funnier too, as it gets further away, don't you think?
