The Making Of A 5 Generation Family Photo...



It wasn't easy let me tell you...
****
We had one little problem and her name is Noelle Grace...She couldn't seem to make up her mind who she wanted holding her.

At one point I was trying to talk her down off the fireplace...


When we finally got her down, she was full of kisses wanting to share the love with everyone! As you can tell we were all getting a little tired.


WHEW! Here is the photo we decided on.
From left to right: Daughter Ronnie, my mom Barbara, my granddaughter Noelle Grace, myself & up front is my grandmother May who is 92 and is Noelle's GREAT GREAT Grandmother~♥

  1. You all look beautiful! I have a five generation photo that I should post too. I just don't like the way I look in it. My grandma is going to be 80 in April. So she is Layla's great great grandma. I love how your grandma is sitting perfectly in all of the photos. hehe Noelle sure is funny!

  2. That's hilarious! One of my recent attempts to get pics of my 10 month old ended with lots of pics of him grabbing the camera strap and/or the lens. Oh, well!

    Y'all are beautiful, Robin. I love your grandmother May's gorgeous white hair!

  3. WOZERS you come from a long line of awesome women. This photo is just fabulous and so isn't the story you tell while taking it. Noelle looks like so much fun to be around and what a little cutie. What a wonderful photo.

  4. That's awesome! The most we could ever get was a three generation. My grandmothers both died before any of us had kids.
    You are very lucky to still have your Grandma!

  15. Family photos are never easy when you have a little wiggly person to wrestle with, but you ladies did a great job of bringing it all together. You all are so beautiful, Robin! I can't believe your grandma is 92 years old! She looks so much younger! What a blessing!

  16. What a precious photo and you're all so beautiful. We have 4 generations living under one roof at my house.It can get pretty hectic at times but we're all together to help each other out :) My granddaughter who is 6 months old just loves the video of Noelle in front of the mirror. She just stares at it and smiles....too cute!

  24. What fantastic pictures. You look so young to have a grandaughter. What an honor to have five generations. Not many families can claim fame to that. Have you ever been to see the Barn Chicks?

  33. Great photo- I'm glad you finally got it. I see a real family resemblance in all of the generations.

  34. Very neat! I look at your blog one in a while and just had to comment on this. Noelle reminds me of my 1 year old. I think it is neat how I can see the resemblance in her and her great great grandma.
