Funny Blog Alert: Awkward Family Photos

Remember when you were a kid and your parents made you get family portraits taken, either for posterity's sake or for a holiday greeting?  Or maybe you are still forced to do this archaic activity like I am?  I remember one particular Christmas card photo of me and my family; it was taken in front of the fireplace of our new cottage in Michigan, and we were all wearing these amazing colored shirts and jeans.  My mom's outfit was the best: a black turtleneck with a blazer made up of large pieces of neon pink, yellow, green, and orange fabric.  Amazing.
