The Grandchildren Photo Shoot!


This is a true tale about an adventure one should not often take.

Taking a family picture of the Nielson Grandchildren has never been an easy task. Especially with cold, hungry, tired children. BUT what's a child to do when their 57 year old mother pleads in her crippling aged voice for a picture of her beloved grandchildren...

for her birthday...of all things. Sibling united; we did the only thing that there was to do! We dolled our little young'ens up the best we could, dressed them in a matching color scheme of white and dark blue jean, assigned the sibling with the nicest camera to be the photographer, aesthetically posed the children, patiently waited for them to ALL look at the camera and smile just right....we waited...

...then we lost our patience. We hopped up and down, clapped and screamed for their attention and smiles. I believe there were a few curse words and tears...the picture looks pretty good when you crop off their heads.






Happy 57th Birthday Grandma Nielson!!!

Hope you know how much you're loved.
