Monday, Monday...

Well for all of you reading the blog out there, today we tried to settle on, enlarge and frame the family picture. Some of you will be reading this and going, what???? Somewhere between West Jordan and Kiowa there is a disc with over 300 images from the Thanksgiving photo shoot. I had to resort to Plan B (a modified version). Sammi sent me a handful of the "best" pictures, I sent that out to everyone in the family for your viewing. However, I needed to move the process along so I called a couple of experts, aka mom and Teresa. After looking at the shots, the expressions, the lighting, the colors and the people, we settled on this picture as the one we would enlarge for mom and dad for Christmas. It is at the printers as I type.

I like the colors, the expressions and the overall feel of the picture.

UPDATE The picture is at the shop getting framed! Thanks to Barry and Teresa for picking it up and braving the experience of picking the frame. They found a really nice frame (from what they described) and the store is doing the framing for us. WooHoo!

Now, just a couple of quick observations and facts....There are NO pictures where we are all looking at the camera. Someone always seemed to be looking off into the wild blue yonder, or talking or goofing or something. Out of the 300+ pictures, there are only a few that have all of us in them. PhotoShop is not an option! It was a fun day and I'm glad we got the pictures we did. Fact #1 we should do this again sometime and vow to all look directly at the camera, stand up straight, smile and have fun. Fact #2 As soon as the rogue disc shows up, I will burn copies for everyone. Fact #3 We're not half bad looking as a bunch and Fact #4 at the base of everything, we are a family. Thanks for making this all happen and get your checks in the mail.
