Every year I give my mother in law the same thing, a picture of her grandchildren. So easy. Yes, there are only a few minor expectations.

1. The photo must contain all five children.
2. The photo must contain all five children looking at the camera.
3. The photo must contain all five children looking at the camera and smiling.

Basically it’s a big unnatural pose where five kids are forced to smile at one time.
I always forget how impossible this is.

First try: “Gavin, please smile.”

Second try: “Cademon, Averie, look at me, Gavin, please smile.”

Third try. “GAVIN.” Said in a grouchy voice.

Fourth try:
He doesn’t feel like smiling.
