family photos!

yesterday we went to portrait innovations for family photos. i've been very excited about it as last time they did such a a good job. i was really looking forward to having all different sorts of poses and arrangement to put colleges and such together for christmas, as well as get some good christmas pics of the kiddos.... kaetlyn apparently had something different in mind. she was not cooperative in the least. she would not keep her legs crossed, dress down, share the snowman with cj, sit by her brother.... and it just went on and on. i took her in the bathroom and spanked her and scolded her, and even that didn't straighten her attitude. by the end of it she was doing headstands in her dress with her butt in the air pointed strait at the camera! craig and i were losing our ability to cope quickly so we just called it quits... boy do i hate letting her win! cj was a darling angel. we got some great shots of him, and the photo shoot was slightly lopsided due to kaetlyn's lack of participation and cj's big smiles. someone commented that i probably wondered where she got that behavior from... the 'not my kid' kind of approach... but i said, no, she is my daughter. i believe that's the entire issue. there's still some cute ones that i'll post later. this one just couldn't wait.

better luck next year i guess!!
