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

This last year, she dressed everyone up as Elvis Presley. Not everyone can find a good Elvis costume at a reasonable price, but my sister-in-law managed to find costumes for each one of her children. She has 3 boys and a girl on the way.

Naturally, the baby-to-be didnot have an Elvis costume, but I wouldn’t be denied 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 13 years old was the most patient with his ma. He spent a pair afternoons purchasing an Elvis costume 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 real 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 totally, he didnot need to cooperate. He did not have enough hair, so they tried employing a wig.

2 the photographs were excellent, exceptfor the littlest boy was pulling his wig off his head. I am really not sure how often it took to get the picture right. My middle nephew was 6 when the stills were taken. We were startled to find that they could not 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 were unable to 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 wearing 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 two seconds. But after roughly 15 mins of wasting space on the electronic camera, we received the ideal shot of the 5 Elvis Presleys.
