Thank you for sharing this. It is one of my favorite pictures to look at !
This is AWESOME! I love this family and that they willingly share their picture. What a cute family.
I know how she feels
Everyone looks like they’re about to sneeze. A classic!
That’s Francois Moreau, international jewel thief and linguist extraordinaire.
brought to you from the makers of valium.
Bless em!
To je nejlepší fotka z celejch stránek:-D
Unbelievably!!!!!!
На фотоссесиях море таких фотографий. Ничего удивительного
Every mom can relate with this picture! LOVE IT!!!
Don’t it look like a young Cliff Clavin from Cheers?
Mama Drank!
The Hanscom family definately have a sense of humour i love it!! and mums you rock it was dad who really wanted the family portrait huh? lol
I love the stories! I have no idea where the “official” photo from this shoot is, but this one I love. Thanks, family.
I still rock overalls that sport “hug me”. all this attention is changing my mind about the plaque that mom gave me that reads ” remember as far as anyone knows we are a normal family” thanks Mike for sharing. i’m getting a kick out of all this.
“Mom yawns as Dad tells her the difference between a crossbow and a compound bow for the umpteenth time”
The kids have the nursing home stare down cold!
lol! i love this picture. he looks stoned and she is yawning. dont get much better
God bless them for owning up to this! LOL!
“Take another one?”
- “Nah, it’s perfect!”
Most people hate their family photos. This is a COOL family photo. If this were my family, this would be the one photo we’d always love, and laugh about.
This is awesome.
mom is tired from staying up all night drawing that little doodle on her son’s overalls. everyone else is like, “totally over this” lol
I’m happy to see that Cliff Clavin from cheers finally met someone.
They ALL look a little slow, don’t they?
I know this family. We had family friends.
Actually, she’s trying to cover up to avoid her family of mouth breathers.
Heard in the background… “Well you can tell by the way I use my walk I’m a woman’s man no time to talk”
Hanscoms, I raise a can of Tab to you and your unstoppable ginger progeny!
perhaps that cult family gave them coolaid?
damn these people are creative
And here’s the same family in 2008! (Not joking, it’s from the son’s official Flickr stream!). They look like a normal happy family, good for them!

Portraits after Thanksgiving dinner? Not a good call.
I like the red filter/tint on this. Looks like how criminals were portrayed on druggy episodes of Dragnet.
that child’s overalls say “hug me.” that is all.
Hanscoms or Giulianis?
The mom is killing me!! hahah that yawn is amazing
KT—-is this you!? LOVE IT!
You guys should change your name to the Handsome family.
I love this family.
Actually, isn’t this the prequel?
This is great:) Very funny!!!
Hanscoms, you are an inspiration! I may just have to rustle up one of my own family pics. The Pie family albums burst with awkwarditude.
stay classy hanscom family, you guys rock!
You know, even though I found the first portrait to be quite amusing, I find this on shows us just how typical a family unit they are. I just wonder what number “try” this is before the “official” family portrait came to be taken. Mom is tired because not only did she have to convince Dad that it was time for another photo, but she had to get both kids ready along with herself and hope, that by some miracle, everyone would stay neat and clean throughout the entire ordeal. Dad just wants this over with so he can get home and out of this latest outfit his wife chose for him to wear. She probably said something along the lines of, “Why don’t you wear the dark blue jacket with that white turtle-necked sweater that your sister gave you last Christmas. This way you will look like the Captain at the helm of this family. I’ll just wear this plain-jane tan jumper with a matching t-neck and everyone will know I am your First Mate.” Yes, but all their friends know that SHE is the one who keeps this family boat afloat. “And don’t worry about your receding hairline. Just comb your hair down to the front to cover some of it up. No, of course not. Don’t be silly. It does not make you look like Hitler.” She then prays, “Dear Father in Heaven, please, please, PLEASE don’t let anyone make any kind of Hitler remarks about the way Dan looks when they post their responses to this picture.”
Meanwhile, the kids are sedated, as usual, on the childrens’ versions of seraquel, valium and that quick shot of bourbon before they got into the old, trustworthy family car.
But MOST OF ALL, the Hanscom family shows us the integrity of their core-issue values in that they willing gave us a second shot at them. If we were in England, I would say to them, “Bully for you.” But since we are not there, and I am not of British decent, I will simply say, “You got some classy balls there, Hanscom Family. You got some classy balls!”
wouldn’t it be “prequel”?
The original osh kosh was amazing…All the ginger comments had me rollin!
You can tell the kid on the right inherited Mom’s looks and the kid on the left Dad’s… The faces are almost identical!
I think this guy was our priest. Or my dentist, I can’t remember.
That was TOO COOL of them. This pic is hilarious!
Stoned?
Classy balls! I love it and I agree! This is what should be pasted on EVERY American family’s wall! The TRUTH! LOL
that is a GREAT analysis mike…. hahahahahahahahaha love it…. hilarious!
thank you so much – u managed to write an AMAZING comment that entertained me a million times more than the photo itself! GENIUS!
I couldn’t have said it better myself self..Way to go Mike..you summed it up in a nutshell..
I have not laughed that hard in ages! This is the best narrative EVER!!!!
“Stay classy San Diego.” -Ron Burgundy, award winning journalist. ( : love it.
thats a joke right? how could you of found that?
Not a joke at all — that’s us again! And I’m pretty easy to find online, I’m not at all surprised that someone found my Flickr account.
Hey, you’re right! The kid on the right has the mom’s eyes and mouth.
perfect!
You *do* have a nice looking family, Michael . . . but tell us, this WAS the last photo of a very long day, right?
Dude . If you can’t laugh at yourself then your not living LOL
