Sam likes to go for the camera

We must have been doing something hilarious in an attempt to get them to look and smile in our direction

And they're off!


The last one I took before giving up on getting them both to a.) sit still b.) smile, and c.) look at the camera while d.) the dog was placed okay and e.) you could see their stickers
Whew!
