I had decided to let my kids wear funny shirts for our family portrait. My sister thought that it was a huge mistake but I wanted to have them pick out the funny t shirts that they think best fits them, and wear it. I was excited to see what they would pick out and I hoped that it is appropriate for a family photo.

Now, I was not worried about my five year old son, but my sixteen year old daughter could have picked out one of those funny t shirts that talk about an older subject. I knew I was going to have to have faith in her and trust her to do the right thing.

I sat down with both of my kids and they showed me the funny shirts that they have picked out to wear. I am happy to report that both of them had picked the same color, and they were totally appropriate for our family photo. The funny t shirt that my husband picked out was not funny and the kids kept telling them that, the whole ride to the photographer’s studio.

Our pictures turned out beautiful, and I would not have changed any of the funny shirts that we wore, it is just who we are.
