Taking a family pic with a baby, 2 dogs and a self timer PIP

The setup

I didn't quite make it there on time the first go around

The "strangle the dogs for a minute so they will stay still" pose

Whee!!! This is fun!

We are on thin ice. The dogs are seconds from pouncing us and Kendall has had enough.

"You said 'last one' 10 pictures ago, mom!!!"

And after all of that, wouldn't you know, the very last one we took before the battery died is the best (that being a relative term) one of the bunch.

You guys are so cute. What kind of dogs do you have?

I'm not even attempting a pic with our dogs. It wouldn't work.

Ha! That's great -- good job!

Thanks! I am just so glad we ended up with some pretty decent ones. It's so funny because our dog's are total pros at this. This is the 4th year they've been subjected to such nonsense and they get better (albeit more annoyed) every year. This year I could just imagine the conversations they were having with Kendall. "Yes, baby, we do this shittt every freaking year. Quit your crying. Just sit there, still as a rock. The quicker you zone out and loose all signs of life and expression, the quicker this will be done."

MandC, they are an English Mastiff and a chocolate Lab.

I love the last one! Family pictures are hard (seriously- how do you get 3+ people to all look good at the same time?) but if you manage to get a good one, it's priceless!

Cute pics! Your son is adorable. The dog is too cute with his little tongue sticking out. And you may have heard this before, but your DH resembles Justin Timberlake!
