Do you know.....

...how hard it is to get 5 kids looking AT you and smiling all at the same moment?

I attempted some pictures this morning for Christmas cards.... these are the ones that aren't going to make it to your homes, so you can enjoy them here! 

This wasn't the pose I had originally planned on, but Tadhg wasn't going for the other one. So, I moved to the couch, it worked okay. I like outdoor pictures better, but today isn't exactly conducive to that seeing as I think we are still below freezing, though the snow has stopped! 

Note to self - even if you intend to just get the tops you should probably make them put on pants without holes!

not great of anyone....really

uh, yeah, we're missing a kid here!

Alannah,smile nice.... Colm, don't blink....Ailish, put your hand down.... Caeden, look here please.... Hands out of your mouth Tadhg...... 

Uh, was anyone listening when I took the last picture?

well Tadhg and Alannah look nice, not sure where Caeden's looking and Colm is concentrating too much on Ailish's hand - but at least it's not blocking her face anymore!

Yep, we're done.....

Can't you just wait to see the one I really get?????
