Disaster Family Portrait

Hi everyone!
Yep! we are back once again! hope everybody is doing great after the turkey feast. Well, I just want to share with you something that you probably will see soon. And that is.... our Christmas card YAY! with... our family pic which has a deep story. Let me tell you that as you read in the Post's title... our sitting was a total disaster. Apparently the TERRIBLE TWO are kicking pretty bad in our household. Yep Ash couldn't stay still ANY minute. And even though I don't have girls I know the big difference that that makes in a photo shoot. Girls love to pose. On the other hand..... boys don't like or let me rephrase it they don't have time to pose. They like to play with the props (or maybe just my kids?)
So we started with Ash as he just turned TWO. So we wanted to have his 2 yrs. old pics. And we wanted to have a specific pic with the same outfit that Elan had at the same age. Anyway....The lady (who was taking our pics) gave a couple props to Ash. And Ash will not STOP playing with them. "Playing" as running around as he was at the park. The props happened to be sport items yep BALLS. So Ash kept throwing the football to the lady and to her camera. Soccer ball! he was scoring all over the studio so....by the time for family pic HE WAS DONE! So we did not have ANY options for our Christmas card as it was ONLY ONE decent picture of the 4 of us. (on the good side I did not have the project to choose the BEST one). So I was very uncomfortable as I was "trying" to hold Ash still and he bite me. Elan was so patient but he was tired. Anyway.... this is the deep story but glad that at least we had just one pic. for our memories!

And here it is "THE SAME OUTFIT PIC"
1st. pic is Elan and I found out he was actually 3yrs. old (no 2 yrs. old oh well!)
2nd. pic Ash just turned 2 yrs. old
