What I Love Most Today are the holidays.

Alright, lest you think these seven kids can sit down and do what they're told the first time to get "just a few good pictures"....you're mistaken.  I seriously took about 220 pictures and I maybe got 20 that I like.  Just keep reading and you'll see a glimpse into what it's really like taking pictures with the Klippel kids.  :):)

Super cute picture.  This is the good picture that is completely lying to all of it's onlookers.  Don't they look so sweet.

They look so sweet above because after 100 pictures like this below, I finally yelled, "SHANE!  If you stand up one more time, you're not getting the treat!  And GEORGIA!  Bless your heart, but no matter what, you're not helping by doing that to Summer's mouth...for Pete's sake!!!!!!!!!!  That's not going to make her smile!!!"

Okay, Summer has a half smile.  We're getting somewhere.  Meanwhile boys are looking super cute in the background...Thanks boys...except Will is escaping off the bed on the right side. 

This one cracks me up.  Will's face is classic.  He's jut like the rest of them.  Just.like.them.it's.crazy.

Not bad...

Okay, Kalen this is cute.  Super cute.  I know you can't keep your kisses off Will, he is so cute, but I need you to focus on the camera.  

That face on Reece is him trying to compose himself so that he does not strangle Shane.  Shane would not hold still, way to smile Will.  Awesome.  Keep it up.  

Nope, he couldn't keep it up and this is where Kalen had to wrestle Will.  He's only two but apparently he's really strong.  ;)  Everybody waits while the two year old gets wrangled back into position.

Okay, back in action.  "Shane!  Put your knees down!...For Pete's Sake!!

I actually love the one below.  It's not the best one, but I love that you can see both of Shane's hands around his brothers, because he loves them so much.  I also like that you can see Reece is holding a football.  Because he's obsessed with most sports.  He just had to hold that ball.  And I love Shane's expression looking down along with Will's.  The girls in the blurred background are all looking at the camera.  I love it. 

At the end, as Kalen was walking out of the room, he said, "your going to post a really good picture of us but you yelled at us the whole time, it's just so funny."  Hmmmmm, I yelled the whole time?  Okay, maybe part, but the whole time?  And, there you have it.  A day in the life of taking pictures of seven kids.  If you want to know how to get really good pictures of your kids without yelling or bribing them with treats...I'm not the one to ask... :):)

What I Love Most Today are the holidays.  May your holiday traditions start off Merry and Bright.
