Christmas Card 2013 Photo Shoot

I received my first Christmas cards last week, thanks Grandad and Una, and got to thinking that I better get my ass into gear and take our photos for our Christmas cards. Yeah, yeah I know it's pushing it a bit late, but, “To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time” as said by Leonard Bernstein. My boys were not too into the idea of wearing the Christmas hats in public, so I promised it would be quick. We went to the zoo to take the photos.

So the plan was that I would just snap a couple of photos, and it would be over before they knew it. Then we could have a look around the zoo. Now to all sit nicely together, face the same way, and smile. How difficult can that be?

I said face the same way, IrishCyborg!

Nearly. No hand in the air. Look this way....

No, no!! Don't drive an invisible car NOW!!!

Ok, all this way now please! And look relaxed.

Too relaxed. Don't lean back.

So close, just one more and ..... look this way.

Didn't I already say hands down??!!

Seriously, are you not listening? HANDS DOWN!

Eyes open, please.

IrishDoom could you not look like you are in pain?

So dear friends and family I hope you like your Christmas cards with at least one boys not looking at the camera.
