19. Taking family pictures is an adventure

Here we are all smiling, looking so happy, like we never fight or complain. Little does anyone know what happens to get this picture taken at all. We had actually taken family pictures in the summer time on a beautiful warm day and after 1 hour and 500 pictures later we did not have a single family picture that was decent. So here we are in freezing cold weather, with short sleeves, and it was starting to rain or should I say sleet. My poor son had a fever and a cough, but he was a good sport and doesn't he look handsome. My 6 year old daughter Bria had been playing in the dirt, in her sweats with her hair in a hat 4 minutes before this picture was taken. Look at how beautiful she looks!! I had been cleaning all day and just threw on the first white shirt I saw. My husband looks handsome all the time and my little Greta lights up the picture with her smile.
