Family Photo Fails

Very few times in the past have we ever attempted a full on family photo at Christmas. This year, with the two most recent additions it seemed only right timing and in the late of the evening in between cooking experiments and nogging it thru Emmet Otter we attempted the un-attemptable.

shot #1

not terrible, could very well be framed and hung proudly, overlooking Yuula's wardrobe malfunctions

shot #2

here we have Dylan finding something much more interesting in the tree to focus his attention on, could work if we go with the story that we got him a Cousin It mask for Christmas

shot #3

this one I forgot to set the timer so no one, including the lens, is prepared

shot #4

finally we get the toddlers to behave, but it's the adults who seem to have been moved by the Holy Spirit

All Ye Krupps Gather

The main focus of the trip out West was the massive gathering of Krupps that happened one afternoon by the lake. I am proud of myself, I could name most of them and trace back to which aunt/uncle they came from. My side of the family is not this confusing.


Look at 'em all!


With this many little kids you're gonna get many different moods.


Uncle Terry up to no good I'm sure of it.


Spiking the bratwurst or something.


A Krupp reunion is never short on corn.


Here's Dave's contribution to the family tree, with Grandma & Grandpa up top. Not bad.


Yuula was ready for more lake.


Our best attempt at a family lake shot.


Madison decided to keep Yuula company on the ride to Fort Wayne.


The ride to Indiana also heeded the mystery of the floating toll ticket.
