Circus at Sears







On Tuesday of this week, my sister Julie and I decided to take all of the Hopper grandchildren to Sears to get some pictures made for Nana's birthday. If you wonder why the title of this post is "Circus at Sears" it is because that is what we caused.

Just imagine for a monent taking a 6-month-old, a 1-year-old, a 2-year-old, a 3-year-old, and a rambunctious 7-year-old to get a picture taken...in public...and expect them all to sit together...at the same time...all smiling....oh and looking in the same general direction.

Yeah, it was a circus. I must say that our little angel, Campbell, was the best behaved...but that may be because she can't get away yet. We ended up with a pretty cute picture, but by the end Julie and I were both covered in sweat and exhausted.

you girls did good!!!!!!!!!!!!
I decided to do that one year for my mother-in-law, well there were five kids,ages 8months, 2years 5years, 8years and 10 years. I got all of them ready and when the picture was taken my precious little 8month old daughter(Ashley)crawled down and would not get back up. So needless to say the picture was precious but one grandchild was missing!

Circus is a very appropriate word for that event! Zack was doing what Ashley did. He would not sit down, then brother would get. Despite all that, they ended up with great smiles!

The photos are wonderful! Could Campbell look any cuter in her solo shots? Oh my gosh...adorable. I can only imagine how challenging it was for two adults to manage that crowd. I have to take another adult with me just when I have Emily's photo taken. I'm sure Mrs. Hopper loved the present.
