Adventures in picture-taking...Foiled!

Sitting still for the camera is not Marielle's forte. The following is my attempt at capturing the girls' delightfulness and photogeny for a Christmas photo...Hopefully I succeeded at least in the former, but certainly not in the latter....See for yourself.

"Okay, girls, lets get on the couch for a sisterly picture!"" Hmmm...Bad idea"

"Okay, Marielle, let's just start with you. Can you give me a smile?.....Okay, that's pretty good. How about another one?

"Hmm, that may be a little much. Could you tone it down a little?"

"Marielle, darling, please sit still. . . . . Okay, youre getting a little too excited now. Let's try something different"

"There, that's better. Is that a good book/prop?"

"Can you say cheese?"

"Wow! That's quite some 'cheese' there girlie."

"I guess the alternative is putting a book on your head"...Sigh.

Someday I'll get a good picture of her, I'm sure of it! And when I do, you'll be the first to know.
