My dad and stepmom requested one thing only for Christmas...a portrait of me and my two brothers. Thinking this would be very easy for me since I'm a shutterbug. Well it was quite difficult as my bros' favorite pastime is to frustrate the h@#$ out of me. So out of 82 tries, this was the only un-disqualified shot...we may be all grown up but some things never change! :rolleyes

    Are your brothers related to mine?!? Laughing.gif! I have 4 and they are ALL like that. Ugh. rolleyes1.gif

    GREAT photo! I just love it! But I also think you need to frame some of the others for your dad and step mom! They'd probably get a kick out 'em....

    Great series... mwink.gif

    No, they must be related to me. There are very few pictures of me in our house because I would seldom cooperate with my wife's efforts.

    I'm sure your folks will love the sequence as I am just as certain they know the boys and their behavior as well as you do. Please let us know how long they laugh at the story you use to introduce this gift to your folks.

    these are a fun group of imagesrolleyes1.gif ... although I'm sure frustrating at the time (my family is very similar)

    I think I'd like the brown curtain background to be out of focus though, just my opinion.

    the following is a link to a video clip you might get a chuckle out of:
