Two posts ago I shared our story of unsuccessfully getting a complete family picture and mentioned that we are still in need of a picture for my parents mantle that includes all members of our growing family. While looking through some pictures on my parents' computer I came across this one that was taken on Sara and Bob's wedding day in May by their photographer. There are five great reasons why I think we should use this picture instead of getting a new one.
1. I was amazed to realize that EVERYONE looked absolutely fabulous in this picture which is almost unheard of for a family picture. True, Cody isn't showing his cute smile BUT he is 2 years old and he is looking at the camera at the same time that everyone else is.
2. My hair looks normal! I don't know what it is about picture days, but it always seems that no matter how great my hair turns out on a normal day it will completely freak out on picture days. I have pictures dating clear back to kindergarten to prove it.
3. I am getting fatter by the day. My little pregnancy muffin top is alive and well and time is running out for looking good in much of anything.
4. Why pay a photographer to do something that you have already paid a photographer to do?
5. Our outfits coordinate. This is a must for my mother.
I am interested to hear your thoughts about this issue. I have brought this up with my parents but I am not sure they are totally convinced yet. If you would like to express your opinion about this picture please comment here. If you agree with me please email my dad at dduncan@premiercpas.net and let him know how you feel in addition to leaving your comments here. If you disagree you need not email, but feel free to comment :) Ha ha!

I definitely love it! Everyone looks great. You're sister chose cute wedding colors! Brown and pink are my fav!
I think it works for the mantle. That is probably why I had it blown up (print sizewise) to frame for over the mantle. By the way, no one has apparently been brave enough to e-mail me their opinion of the picture. We'll use it!!
Love Always, DAD
