The Family Picture

So, my mother insists we take one of these every year. (and at the Picture People, no less) And almost every Christmas, the family gets larger. Do you know how hard it is to get this many kids to stand still, not cry, and to look at the camera? Very, very difficult. And then we tried to move on to just kids...that was even harder.

Anyway, I think I'm submitting this as one of my 8 "Family Life" photos, as it is My Entire Family...and as much work as it was taking it, it's worth a submittal. Tell my siblings to stop procreating, for God's sakes.

That's me, on the right, by the way. My husband is behind me in the white shirt. (Yes, he is much older) I am the trophy wife. My parents are to the left of me and have our kids on their laps. My brother and his wife are in the middle back. Their three kids (two girls and a boy) are in the middle/right front. My sister and her husband are to the left. Their four girls are to the left/left front.
