The Picture That Almost Wasn't

Two weeks ago, when Shannon got to go and play with the high school band, the band photographer was taking sibling pictures. I guess there are quite a few jr high kids that have older siblings in the band.

I knew they would do this, because Danni told me they did it last year. I asked Shannon if she would have her picture taken with her sister, and because she's a snot, she very flatly told me, "No."

I asked, I begged, I threatened. Danni doesn't want to do guard her senior year, next year, she wants to do pom line. And for some reason, our school's pom line does not perform at football games. Apparently they just do dance-type competitions. So this is my only chance to get this picture.

Danni told me,

"Don't worry Mom, I'll talk her into it."

And somehow, she did. I love this picture.

Thanks, D.
