Christmas Card Outtakes

Oh man, I knew that I should have thought twice about posting the blog address on our Christmas cards!  This would mean that I'd have to catch up a little bit on my lag in posting.

Thank you, to those of you who have ventured over here (and that's not just Nonnie!  Hurray!), and thank you for reminding me to post our moments before they are far too distant memories!

I can hardly stand the cuteness and the craziness of trying to get these three little ducks in a row and get universal SMILES!  Needless to say it took many, many takes...

 Two-ish out of three isn't bad...

 Until that one-third starts to spread dissent... 

 Alright then...
Let's try some bribery! 

Suckers! 
 And, let's see how the sugar affects our shoot... 
 Great Smiles!
 Crazy Smiles!
 Alright, let's dial down the smile...

Finally, we found the best way to get a picture 
was to make our little stinkerpot Charley as happy as a clam,
and to jump in on her shot,

and Voila!
Merry Christmas from the Akls!

(and three cheers for Charley's long-suffering sisters
and mommy!)

  1. Soooo precious! Amazing how Payton and Nola are so patient with Charley! One would think she might be the a)baby or b) a little spoiled? None the less, each one is dear and precious to us!
