Siblings in the Rain

Not only did Jennifer (cool name, huh?!) and her siblings decide to surprise their parents with framed photos as a Christmas present...they were willing to brave a rainy and bitterly cold December afternoon for the sake of the surprise.



"Hey Mom, we're going out to lunch together today. See you later."
[in Mom's head: WHAT?! they're my children. they don't get along. yet they're going out for lunch?]
"Okay, kids, have fun!"



They did go out to lunch after we finished shooting -- don't worry, I'm not supporting lying to your parents! And I hope they got lots of hot chocolate. Because, um, it was COLD. And when I say cold...I mean cooold.



But it all worked. We took the pictures. Processed them. The printer even got them finished and mailed to me before Christmas.



And on Christmas day?

Mom cried for happiness.

Now if that's not enough reason to be glad we braved the cold, I'm not sure what would be.



So, yes. We did it. We got the pictures and made Mom and Dad happy.

Life is good. =)
