Every year my sister-n-law dresses her family in costumes for their yearly family picture. Each time I suspect that she has come up with the funniest dresses idea ever, she comes up with something even funnier. Her folks is terribly patient with her because they know how critical the family portrait is to her.

This last year, she dressed everybody up as Elvis Presley. Not everybody can find a good Elvis costume at a fair price, but my sister-in-law managed to find costumes for each one of her children. She has three boys and a girl on the way.

Naturally, the baby-to-be didn’t have an Elvis costume, but i would not be confounded if my sister-in-law has one made for her girl as a newborn baby present. My nephews range in age from 2 years to thirteen years of age. The thirteen years of age was the most patient with his ma. He spent a pair afternoons buying an Elvis costume dresses that would fit him. He let her slick back his hair into an oily 50’s style that would make him the gag of his class. He even struck a great Presley pose for the camera. My oldest nephew was a genuine sport for this picture. The two-year-old was a different story. Though my sister-in-law was capable of finding a baby Elvis costume that fit my two-year-old nephew completely, he didn’t need to cooperate. He didn’t have enough hair, so they attempted employing a wig.

Two the photographs were wonderful, exceptfor the littlest boy was pulling his wig off his head. I’m really not sure how frequently it took to get the picture right. My middle nephew was 6 when the stills were taken. We were surprised to find that they couldn’t find an Elvis costume in his size. My sister-in-law doesn’t give up simply. She made one for him and she probably did it so well, that we could not tell this was a home made costume. The six-year-old did his best to make a great Presley face for the camera. After each relation was dressed in his Elvis costume, my job was to snap the best family portrait. This job was much tougher than making the costumes, especially with the little nephew pulling his wig off each 2 seconds. But after around 15 mins of wasting space on the electronic camera, we received the perfect shot of the five Elvis Presleys.
