The perfect picture

I am amazed by those professional pictures with 30 people in them and everyone is looking at the camera and smiling.  I was trying to take a good picture of the girls earlier this week.  This is the one that turned out the best. 

These are a few of the "not so perfect" attempts before I got a good picture:

Looking at these again, I realize that they may not have turned out perfect, but they show the personality of the girls so much more than the first picture.  I think I love them just as much. They make me laugh and remind me what each day is like in our house.  Perfection doesn't always have to be the goal!
