What Not To Wear

We've all had our taste of bad family photos, from the matchie matchie khaki pants photo to the one kid that won't stop screaming photo to someone farted right when the photog said "cheese" photo.

I discovered this site listed on the sidebar of a friend's blog.
http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/
pretty funny stuff.

THEN, I discovered this photo on someone's facebook page.
I'm only going to say this once, so listen closely.

Friends, don't try this at home.

Seriously...worst idea ever as far as family pictures go. What were we going for with the rainbow?

"There's a pot o' gold at the end of this Christmas card"

"We're so happy we're gay"

"aren't you glad we aren't all in matching denim shirts?"

"we wanted to make the one single daughter feel super isolated"

or maybe just "we like skittles"

I don't even know these peeps (yes! That's exactly what they look like. Marshmallow peeps.) but I am considering submitting this photo to the awkward family photo website. Maybe one of the 28 people in the picture will stumble upon it one day (while eating skittles) and think, "hey. maybe that wasn't a good idea" and go back to the khaki's.

That's my family. I am so offended you don't like it.

That looks a lot like a picture taken at the Leake family reunion back in 89. Only we all had shirts that were the same design, different colors for each family, and we all had numbers on our backs for our place.

All I'm saying is that the color coded families idea should have died back in 89.

That's all.

sheena-if that's your family, I do not blame you for opting out of the photo ;)

Isn't this family one of Natalie's FB friends??

We took a huge "everybody-wear-denim" photos with my in laws over 10 years ago. Wow, there's a LOT of denim in that frame!

That's funny...we have done that before!! So the next time we had the big Luce family picture everyone wore white shirts and tan pants!
Have a great day!
