This will be the last entry documenting the May 2012 cousin gathering. I have lots and lots more photos, but I am counting on other family members who have blogs and/or online photo albums to offer their perspectives, too!
As has been the custom since Ethan and Owen were babies, the adults force the cousins to sit together on a couch in the sun room and pose for a group shot whenever all of them visit us. Finding the right time when all six are in the mood to cooperate is a challenge! Some photo shoots have involved up to 50 camera clicks to get even ONE picture in which each cute little face can be seen. Never mind trying to get everyone to smile, or a photo with no tears, no fingers or pacifiers in mouths, and no crazy faces. We gave up on that a long time ago!
What we've discovered is that no matter in what direction(s) the kids are looking, no matter how much their facial expressions differ because some cousins are cheerful and want to be photographed while others prefer to scream, cry, and try to run away, every picture is a great picture because the kids are just so dang cute. See what I mean?

I love the couch photos and think they are much better because there is always one funny face, one escapee, one looking a little sad...being little kids. Great photos on all your posts lately, Jill!
Some day we'll have to put together an album of JUST couch photos....all 1876 of them...
Such a disaster. They're cute, though!
