27) Get a family portrait done

Every year I look forward to the time when my son's nursery plan their "school" photos - the chance to get some really decent shots taken of our fabulous boy.

This year, his pre school offered the chance to have not only the children taken, but by arranging on a weekend, the chance to have family pictures taken too.

With us a fairly recent family of four, and of course being on the 40 list, I couldn't resist taking this opportunity. It wasn't the greatest of timings - the same morning my son had been tearing around an indoor play centre for his third birthday and daughter due a feed/sleep but we got some done.

When it came to selecting we really only had one shot of the whole family where we were looking and smiling but I'm pretty happy with the results. My fabulous family who I love with all my heart and make me smile every day.

Hope you think so too - needless to say the Granny's liked it as Christmas presents and it will be adorning our walls for quite some time!
