Yeah, it had been a long time since we had family photos done.  Okay, we had NEVER had family photos done.  But you know my mom, she’s insistent (Dad says she just plain bossy) .  When Mom says we’re getting the family photos taken, then WE’RE GETTING THE FAMILY PHOTOS TAKEN. 

She got this fancy schmancy camera and forced me and Dad to get all gussied up.  It isn’t easy looking this good, but she’s beautiful, so we do it. We combed our fur and put on our best smiles.

This is the nicest shot of just Mom and Dad.  Mom took it herself. She wouldn’t let me take the picture because she said I might get the camera strap caught in my fur. Anyway, it’s a good photo and I asked Mom to frame it for me.  fam-portrait-1

This next shot is the three of us.  Aren’t we purty??  We had a rough time getting Dad to smile.  But all in all, he looks nice.  I think I smiled a bit crooked.  But really, this was the best of TEN pictures.

So family portraits are done.  When it was all over and I was really drained from the constant grinning Mom snapped this last shot of me right after she kissed my nose and said I was handsome. 

The things I do for love….*sigh*

And HEY, don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.
