What you can't see is all the lamps turned over and around the room, trying to get the lighting right, Mom standing on the couch with a flashlight and a hot dog calling Anka to look when she's sure she's rather play, deciding to just jump on Mom and mug her for the hot dog, Mom trying not to fall on the coffee table, Dad messing with camera settings trying to get everything right while everyone else is doing what they should be so the picture comes out nice. The blooper reel was fun.
We use a Canon 30D.
