Our nieces were helping us. I think they did a good job!
Here Indy was trying to help BF smile extra big:

Here our other niece, Dallas Lee, thought a hula hoop should be in the picture. I found this hilarious.

Two seconds after this shot I was literally rolling on the floor with laughter:

And finally we tried to get serious. It didn't work.

We had a similar experience last year. We were hoping to get a shot in front of the tree with the animals...but didn't have anyone to take the pic. We used the timer delay on my camera, but there was of course no one there to make the cat & dog actually look towards the camera. Every pic was BF & I all cute...but the animals looking in weird directions or looking back at us. The pics are funny, but totally not useable. haha.
Awwww! So cute! laughing pictures are always the best!
