Painful family pictures

I decided that we needed to attempt some family pictures so I could order the family Christmas card. After looking at the budget, I got it in my head that I could get some pictures almost as good as the "professionals" for, well.... nothing. Money talks... a lot. So, I made a deal with Gabri and she took our family pictures and then I took the pictures of the kids. I took her family pictures and I think that we are mostly happy. Gabri said "they aren't good enough Im going to blow one up for the wall" but we decided that for the small Christmas card, one will work. I just wanted to post some of the ones we got yesterday.
