DIY ~ family pictures




Long, long ago, during a time known as Thanksgiving, my family tried to get a family picture...

just one was all we wanted...

and by "we" I mean my mom... and Sara... and me...

And we tried, we really did.

We got all gussied up,

we set up a tri-pod with the camera...

we FINALLY got the remote to work after messing

and fidgeting

and monkey-ing

and sweating

and then we let Ryan be in charge of hitting the button...

why? I don't know...

And this is what we got...

I call it... Disintegrating Family Photos...


Ryan, you coming, or what?


Oh dear, Ryder...


It will help if we switch places...and give Ryder a prop...
Oh, Charlie...
Rigg, look at the camera, buddy...


Cari...fail...
Ryan! A warning before the button is hit! Thank you!


Really, Captain? Really?

CHARLIE!!!


Creepy, Andy... EXTREMELY creepy...


RYAN!!! Quit hitting the button... we are done!
Ryan kinda looks like a priest in this one...


and after all that... we kinda got one.
kinda
I'll accept this one.


We did, however, get a decent shot with just our little family...


and a nice one of the Captain and me.


Afterwards, I needed ( a lot of ) chocolate and a nap.
