It worked. Tanner wore the sweater then literally ripped the thing off when we were done. I prepped Nathan ahead of time to help me out and be a good sport. I can guarantee you, Mandy helped by her presence being there to cover up his real feelings.
We managed to capture some that will have to work until next year when there is another pulling teeth, hands and feet to attempt this. Perhaps it will be them pulling mine because I will be mentally drained from the emotional trauma this causes me! Just kidding they did pretty good, sort of.
We began our adventure in our neighbors back porch by her pile of wood. After a few clicks of Mandy's magic touch, the husband declared "good we are done!". I said yeh right buddy!
We then trampled into her house and took some from her fireplace. Nathan said "ok we are done how about a piece of candy kids? I declared, NOT YET!
He said to me "Mandy does not want to spend all day with us" I told her yes she does. So we got one last outdoor attempt with the kids in Tanner's snow fort.
I think some turned out OK! For the rest of the day I was just so thankful we got them done! If you want to see all of them (which I know you do) leave me a comment requesting so and I will gladly fill your need!

How fun to read your perspective on it. You are a funny girl. I am only a little offended at being called 2nd best.
Our picture taking experience was about the same... Lots of smarties, soda pop, and popcorn involed as bribes...
You all look so good! And matching too--wow. That was the hardest part for our pictures. We didn't want to be matching exactly, but we were going for color coordinated. Hoo boy. Then we had a bunch taken outside with our coats on (brown, black, and blue, respectively) so all that trouble for nothing anyway! Yup, Jacob is too young to protest, so it worked out okay this year. We'll see how it goes next year.
I LOVE the woodpile one! So cute.
Great pictures; cute kids, cute outfits, cute smiles -- great job Mandy! I mean Melissa and Nate ;-)
Okay I thought I posted a comment but it is not here! So as I was saying, Don't you look great! I can hardly tell you are pregnant! When was this picture taken?
Nice job on getting all of you to match. You guys look great!
