When Ben and Beth came for a visit over 4th of July weekend, we decided to try it again. They turned out great!
We took ours first so the boys wouldn't be screaming and ruining pictures later. That failed miserably. Both boys did great for a half hour. We got our photos out of the way and they turned out well.
The rest of the time was spent crying. Jake would not leave my side. I was the only one allowed to hold him and he refused to sit without me. He ruined all the rest of the photos. I'm not posting those pictures because I am still angry that he behaved in that way. We did manage a nice family one but everything else has at least 1 boy crying. We took a silly photo and I think my face sums up my feelings.
I am thankful that they behaved for our photos and we can continue on our yearly photo tradition. I apologize to everyone else who had to witness the meltdowns and having the pictures ruined.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the pictures! Sorry that Jake's meltdown got you down - hopefully next year (or whenever we do the next ones) things will go more smoothly!
