Today was pretty eventful! We went to eat lunch at Sumo (not as good as Stix or Shogun) for dad's belated birthday meal. Then we had family portraits made. Matt had a WONDERFUL idea that we should take casual and suit pictures, so not only did we appear as a herd of cattle being corralled into the door, but we each had a change of clothes in tow.
From the get go I could tell it was going to be loads of fun. The place was full of babies that were out past their nap times in uncomfortable clothes meant to make them beautiful for everyone to see in Christmas cards. When we got there Trey joined in the chorus of unhappy voices, and this continued for about an hour before the first picture was snapped.
These pictures are so sweet and beautiful. Luckily you couldn't see what went on in between takes. Claire Kate slept the whole time, except for her close-ups. (She's going to be such a diva!) Trey on the other hand, decided he was not going to take a single picture without a ball in his hands. The very moment the ball was taken away, he broke into hysterics. Incidentally, he fell asleep within five minutes of the last picture.
When all was said and done, we did get a few really good pictures, and even more fun memories. We also remembered why we do this once every five years.
