We DID it! We finally did :) For several years, my brother and four sisters have talked about having a professional picture taken of our kiddos together. In the past, it seems that we were always waiting for so-and-so to be born, or in our case, for Sophie to finally come home. Well, this year, Sophie is home and no one has a bun in the oven :) A perfect opportunity! We planned this as a big Christmas surprise for my mom. We did a lot of whispering at family gatherings...trying to decide on a photographer, where to have the pictures taken, what to have everyone wear, etc. You know, it's not easy coordinating schedules for six families and outfits for eighteen grandkids. But somehow, we managed to find a couple of hours that worked out for everyone. And no one showed up wearing a purple sweater. Who would do that anyway? :) So, the day before Thanksgiving, with everyone in town, and with only a few of the kids throwing up, we managed a family picture. Phew! It actually was a lot of fun, and we were pretty well behaved if you ask me. The parents and the kids :) We laughed at the funny expressions on their little faces as the photographer positioned them this way and that way. Oh, and yeah, at the very last second, we decided we wanted grandma in the the pictures too. Oh well, so much for the surprise, but priceless if you ask me. We missed you, dad.

What do you think? Color or black/white? I love the one with grandma!
